Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for proper assembly of your Bestway Steel Pro MAX pool. Ensure the chosen location is level and clear of debris.
- Prepare the Site: Select a flat, level surface free of sharp objects, rocks, or roots. The ground should be firm enough to support the weight of the filled pool.
- Lay Liner Flat: Unfold the pool liner and lay it flat in the chosen area. Ensure the drain valve is positioned correctly for future draining.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the steel frame components according to the included diagram. The FrameLink System™ ensures secure pipe connections. Insert the horizontal beams into the liner sleeves and connect them with the vertical legs.
- Connect Filter Pump: Attach the 330 GPH filter pump to the designated inlet and outlet connections on the pool liner. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. The pump uses Type I filter cartridges.
- Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, gently smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner. Stop filling when the water reaches approximately 90% capacity, indicated by the fill line on the liner.
