FAQs
How long does it take to set up the Bestway Steel Pro Frame Pool?
Setup typically takes around 20 minutes for two people, although the manufacturer recommends 3 people for optimal setup.
What is the capacity of the pool?
The pool has a water capacity of 2,300 liters (608 US gallons) when filled to 90% of its capacity.
Does the pool come with a pump?
No, the Bestway Steel Pro Frame Pool does not include a pump or filter system. These need to be purchased separately if desired.
Can this pool be left up year-round?
While the frame is corrosion-resistant, it is recommended to take the pool down and store it in a dry place during the off-season to prolong its lifespan and protect it from harsh weather conditions.
What is DuraPlus material?
DuraPlus is an ultra-durable 3-layer material made from PVC and polyester mesh, reinforced for strength and puncture-resistance. It is designed to be more resistant to tears, stretching, and punctures compared to standard PVC.
Is the pool safe for young children?
Adult supervision is always required when children are in or around the pool. The product safety warning explicitly states, "Keep children under supervision in the aquatic environment."
What are the dimensions of the pool?
The approximate dimensions are 2.59 meters in length, 1.70 meters in width, and 61 centimeters (or 24 inches) in height.
Troubleshooting
Pool is not holding its shape / collapsing sides
Ensure the pool is set up on a completely level surface. Check that the frame is correctly assembled and all connections are secure. Continue filling with water, smoothing out wrinkles from the bottom as it fills. Ensure the top ring (if applicable) is fully inflated.
Water is not draining properly
Verify that the flow control valve cap is removed and the drain plug is fully inserted into the valve body. Ensure the hose connected to the drain valve is not kinked and has a clear path for water to flow away from the pool.
Minor leaks or punctures detected
Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply the included repair patch according to the instructions on the patch packaging. For larger issues, contact Bestway customer service.
Frame appears rusty
Ensure the frame components are completely dry before storage. If minor surface rust is present, it can often be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild abrasive. For significant rust, check if the frame is still structurally sound. If compromised, consider replacing the frame parts.
Pool water becomes cloudy or green
This indicates an imbalance in water chemistry or insufficient filtration. Test and adjust pH and chlorine levels. If using a filter pump, clean or replace the filter cartridge. Manually skim the water surface for debris. Consider a water clarifier if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Choose Location: Select a flat, level surface free from debris, preferably grass or a sturdy patio. Ensure there is adequate space around the pool for safe access and potential water runoff.
- Unpack and Assemble Frame: Lay out all components. Connect the steel frame pieces according to the included instructions. The FrameLink System should ensure a secure fit.
- Position Liner: Carefully unfold the DuraPlus liner over the assembled frame, ensuring it is centered.
- Inflate Top Ring (if applicable): Some models may have an inflatable top ring; inflate this to the recommended pressure.
- Fill with Water: Begin filling the pool with water using a garden hose. As the pool fills, smooth out any wrinkles in the bottom liner. The pool is designed to stand up on its own as water is added.
- Check for Leaks: Once partially filled, inspect all connections and seams for any signs of leaks.
Compatibility:
- This pool is designed for outdoor use on solid, level ground.
- It does not include a pump or filter; one may be purchased separately if desired for water circulation and clarity.
- Ensure any accessories, like ladders or covers, are compatible with the pool's dimensions and type.
Care:
- Water Maintenance: Regularly test and balance the water chemistry using appropriate pool chemicals. Clean the water surface daily to remove debris.
- Filtration (if used): Clean or replace filter cartridges regularly according to the filter pump manufacturer's instructions.
- Cleaning the Liner: Use a soft cloth and mild soap with water to clean the interior and exterior of the liner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Draining: Use the built-in flow control valve to drain the pool when necessary. Attach a hose to direct water away from your property.
- Storage: After draining and thoroughly drying, carefully fold the liner and store the frame components in a dry, protected area, ideally in the original box or a suitable container, to prevent damage and corrosion.
