Setup

The Bestway Power Steel pool is designed for easy, no-tools-required setup. Follow these steps for optimal assembly:

1. Site Preparation: Choose a completely flat, level, and solid surface free of debris. Ensure adequate drainage and proximity to a GFCI-protected electrical outlet for the pump.
2. Unfold Liner: Carefully unroll the pool liner in the chosen location. Ensure the drain valve is positioned where it can be easily accessed for draining.
3. Assemble Frame: Connect the steel frame components according to the diagrams in the detailed manual, utilizing the Seal & Lock System for secure connections. Ensure all pins are properly inserted.
4. Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water. As the water level rises, smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom of the liner from the center outwards. Stop filling when the water reaches the recommended fill line.
5. Install Filter Pump: Connect the filter pump to the designated inlet and outlet ports on the pool liner using the provided hoses. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
6. Attach Ladder: Assemble and place the safety ladder securely against the pool wall. Ensure it is stable before use.
7. ChemConnect Dispenser: Place the ChemConnect dispenser in the pool. This device helps maintain stable chlorine levels.

Operating the Pool

Filter Pump Operation

The included 2,500 GPH filter pump is crucial for maintaining water clarity. Operate the pump daily for at least 4-6 hours, or longer during heavy use, to ensure proper filtration. Refer to the pump's dedicated manual for detailed operating instructions and timer settings.

ChemConnect Dispenser

The ChemConnect dispenser provides a stable level of chlorine by evenly dispersing it throughout the pool. Fill the dispenser with appropriate chlorine tablets (not included) and adjust the flow as needed to maintain proper water chemistry.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for extending the life of your pool and ensuring clean, safe water:

• Water Testing: Test pool water regularly (daily or every other day) for pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. Adjust chemicals as necessary.
• Cleaning: Skim debris from the surface daily. Vacuum the pool bottom as needed to remove settled dirt and algae.
• Filter Cartridge: Clean the filter cartridge frequently (every few days) by rinsing with a garden hose. Replace the cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or sooner if heavily soiled.
• Liner Inspection: Periodically inspect the TriTech liner for any signs of wear, tears, or punctures. Use the included repair patch for minor damages.
• Winterization: For colder climates, properly winterize the pool by draining, cleaning, and disassembling it for storage. Follow specific winterization instructions in the full product manual.
