My husband and I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for posting your series of Bestway pool videos!!!! You made the whole process look so easy and really convinced us that this was a great purchase! You really should be getting royalties!!Our model is slightly different than yours but the assembly concepts were exactly the same. We barely referred to the instructions - we sat as a family to watch your videos before starting and then dug right in! 30 minutes was a JOKE for sure, but we did it! Thank you for helping us make the most out of this summer when everything in our part of Canada is closed for the foreseeable future, we will make our own fun instead!!
We have this same pool. I broke it down at the end of last season thinking I would remember how it would go back together...NOPE. Thanks so much for reminding me how to do it. Great video.
THANK YOU!! This video put ice on my rage that was generated by the complete and total lack of ACTUAL assembly instructions. You hit EVERY point of frustration in your video. My neighbor and I assembled the entire pool in 29 minutes and 57 seconds!!!! LMBO. More like 3-4 hours of chilled out assembly. 30 minutes for assembly...yeah right. Kids enjoyed several hours in the pool already. THANKS AGAIN!!
You’ve done a wonderful job with this video and a great service to mankind with your Bestway Pool Setup Video. You are so right. The 30 minute setup advertised is a joke. Thanks for producing this because it will help so many people. Bravo! Wishing you and your family great times in your new pool. Enjoy!
Yeah, I thought I would make a video of what I would have liked to see on how to set it up. Thanks for the feedback! And, yes, the kids are having a ton of fun with it so far this year.
Took me over an hour to make the ladder!! The UK spec ones have a removable step set on the outside, then a dummy set of legs that hold the structure in place, just with no actual steps so it cannot be used. All on a quick release system. Quite neat, but a pain in the ax! to build. My pool is filling now, been 18 hours now and still an inch below the outlet! Also the UK pools only have one outlet, not two as here.
Thank you so much for the video. I purchased the rectangular pool and the owners Manuel was missing. When I spoke to the store they said oh all the instructions are there. So for a week we struggled the best we could (did a lot of things correct and a lot wrong), then we found your video. What a life saver.
I don't have a pool and don't want one at this stage of my life but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you and the family putting it together. Really nice that you made the video for others who might buy that pool.
Thanks man! After I bought it, I talked to quite a few people who also had purchased one. Then I couldn't find a good video online of the setup, so.... I figured why not me?? Haha. Hopefully, it helps some people out, as the instructions are not great.
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me
Thanks again for the video. I finally set mine up took about 4 days !!!! But I upgraded a few things. I changed my ports to 1.5" so allow better flow though the system and also installed a Salt/Chlorine generator. An EASY mod you can do, so you can leave the solar heater if you want, is put in a 1.5" pvc pipe w/ ball valve between the caps on the heater. I then open and close the ball valve to adjust how much water i want to by pass the heater. to attach use 1-1/2 in. PVC Box Adapters (got mine from home depot) and sand off the lettering, so there is a flat surface to seal up against the rubber gasket . Make sure to put the spin on cap on, and then pvc cement it to the pipe using a junction.
@@MzJoyZ29 I used the intex salt chlorine generator. To be honest. do the math and follow the guide and put in 10% less salt that what you calculate... the machine is very temperamental, and sometimes you will get a high slat error. You can trick the system by putting a low flow of hose water near the inlet. As for the sand filter, I used Clorox filter sand plus, which is zeolite, or zeosand. NOTE you use less than regular sand... and on occasion i do get sand in my pool, but my intex vac picks it up.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thanks to your family. I followed the manufacturer instructions and you’re right, I couldn’t removed those wrinkles. Many of your comments make more sense than the manufacturer. I’m so disappointed at Bestway’s instructions. Thanks
Thank you so much!!! We had not one issue setting up the pool thanks to this video. Instructions are really bad, so this is the de-facto instruction manual for this Costco pool.
Wish you had made this video 2 weeks ago! You are correct the instructions are crap! Thanks for making this video I’m sure you will helps lots of others who have bought this pool.
Great video, thanks. I live in hot, humid SW Louisiana. Trying to pass the horizontal pipes through pool’s sleeves was an exercise in patience, ......until I shot some talcum powder into the sleeves and the insertion became first cousin to instantaneous. All I have left to do is attach the pump and filter, then go to Wally World to get a pool chemical kit, a brush, some sand. Once all that stuff has been put to bed, it’s time to put on my swimming suit and escape the humid heat of the Pelican State. Thanks again. Ooh, one mo’ thing. In Jan or Feb I am going to buy a Jeep. Louie, this looks like the start of a beautiful friendship!
Can you come set up mine next summer? lol!!!! We just bought ours (end of summer impulse/wedding money splurge) and we this really helped how to set it up! Thanks!!!
You are dead on about the amount of time it takes to put this together. It took me almost 30 minutes just to assemble the ladder! And our local pool experts recommended 4-6 inches of sand plus a ground cover to put under the pool. Easy to level, we built a framework around the entire pool area to contain the base, once H2O is in nothing moves.
Dang man, this was a great video. I found you because my wife was looking at these pools. I don’t have a Jeep but if I did I would be watching your videos. Very good detailed instructional video sir. Thanks! We will be buying one of these.
This is awesome and mahalo plenty on the setup cause I was very upset above the pool in the middle bowling in. But by watching your video that eased my mind. Again mahalo plenty
Great Video! We would also like a maintenance video for this pool. How to clean the basket in the pump and all the other details not mentioned in the instructions.
Great tutorial! Mine is filling as I type. I have serious concerns about the long side rails. EXCELLENT suggestion about putting the ladder in the pool, IF you don't cover it after every use. Thanks!
Might sound dumb, but how did you make sure the blocks under all the legs were level? So far I used a level and dug them out for the big sides... but I’m not so sure about the little legs on the ends.
Great job explaining how to put up an oval frame pool. I have a 10 x 30 frame pool and have done some of the tips you mentioned and until now, my pool is doing perfect.
7/1/21 just filled a 12x22 oval pool. Walls were bowed way in, like 8". When pool was completely filled the walls were straight. The last 10" of water made all the difference. Hang in there. John A.
Thank you so much for making this instruction video. As you said the accompanying manual was of very little help. 30 minutes no way took my wife and I 4 hours to set everything up. Your video was a godsend, we'd follow along and stop and started it when needed.
My daughter and I set this up in 2019. We found that as the water begin to fill she began to smooth the bottom by putting on non-slip socks AKA Hospital socks. When the water had an inch to 2 inch in the bottom we were able to move it by stomping towards the wall. The pool does not have one Wrinkle in it now!!. He also failed to say it's an absolute must to have pavers underneath the legs of your pool! If you do not as the pool begins to fill the legs will move and settle & your pool will be unlevel. Love my pool
Great video, helped a lot, my pool did not bring the instructions so I fully rely on this video! I wonder if it is normal to long side bars comes to the inside while filling the pool, I’m still like a 1/3 way but it is disturbing to see this going on, not sure if stop at this point. Thanks!
Great video. Very helpful. We are considering buying one of these this summer. How do you like the rectangle shape of this pool versus an 18' round pool. I see you have 3 kids, does the rectangle shape give them enough space? Thanks
Wish I would have viewed your video prior to installing our pool. You are right about stretching the liner out before the 2-4 inches of water are in the pool. And 30 minute setup-no way-especially if you don't have the sand ready to go for the filter!
Thank god for this review! We got ours from Walmart and there are even LESS instructions than the ones you have, just the diagram with the part numbers. 1000x THANK YOU!!
Thank you for the video, I wish I would have watched it before I put mine all together, it probably would have took me half the time....like you said the instructions were very vague. Thanks again!
we have the 20x12 we are getting ready to set up but we never saw how much spaces is needed for the pool exterior ... for example how far out the side posts are past the pool itself we live on a mountain we are having to do a lot of ground work want to make sure we get it big enough
Ditto what others have said about their instructions. Not that great. I bought this pool summer 2017 and used it all summer. Loved it. Didn't set it up in 2018. Now in 2019, just set it up. Used your video as a reminder of how to set it up. But now I am seeing very slow leak. Argh! The pool has only been used one season and was put away super carefully. It seemed really rugged. I hoped that I could get many years of service without any leaks. Some patch material came with it, but no glue. So heading to Home Depot to get that. If you have any tips on patching, would appreciate. As my brother in law says "It's never easy!"
I was reading reviews on the new pool we just bought (this one) and saw your post with the UA-cam link -- I really think you did a good job. We are trying to figure out how we are going to set it up - it just intimidates me a little, but you did a good job making it seem a little easier.. I just don't know if myself and my three sisters can do it. We found a handyman man and have asked him to set it up (or help us set it up). I'm gonna show him your video and make sure he is up for the job before he starts - that way i feel confident that he will be able to complete it... (I'm most worried about the ground part - and make sure is level enough and what not - I like the idea of the wood under each post) we definitely don't need the water heater though - Fresno CA is 110 on a hot hot day..
+Jennifer Carrillo Great! Glad the video is helping you out. The ground leveling was the most time consuming part for me. The rest wasn’t too hard, but took a lot longer than the advertised 30min. Haha
Hi I’m hoping you answer a question for me please this video is amazing help but roughly how long did it take to fill with water ? Thanks in advance for any info
Hi there thanks for the hints and tips have just purchased one of these pools you say the solar heater gets too hot in summer months how hot exactly does it make the water
Nice video bro, I just set mine up also. I have the 16' x 10'. Mine has a bag with 3 black plug looking things and a valve thingy that I haven't found the purpose of. If anyone knows what the heck they are needed for please post. These inlet/ outlet filter connections are a lil cheesy compared to the intex I used to have. Man you ain't kidding about the 30 minute thing. It took me a little longer than that just to unfold attached the polls and set the pool up itself. Now to the ladder and the filter. Anyway good video it was cool to see your entire family involved unfortunately had to do it myself since my kids and grandkids live a couple of hours away. Anyway very good video do you others out there it is very easy to set up by yourself if you have to just takes a little time
Dude thank you for the video. In the instructions it’s saying to install a flow valve in outlet a. I lost so much time looking for it. I thought I lost it. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for making the video. I bought this pool last year. Used the thin tarp under the pool and tossed it at the end of the season. Bought a 16 x 20 heavy duty tarp this year. Has grommets into which I drove stakes to hold it in place. This bottom of the pool is much more enjoyable to walk on this year. I did not put the legs inside the band. I totally missed that in th instructions but now I see the drawing. Used a level on them to make sure they were straight to support the weight. Looks good and seems to be fine. Also, I added the heater late last season and seemed to have more trouble keeping the chemicals balanced, so not even using it this year. It only increase the temp by one or two degrees anyway. Looks like they have a larger solar heater this year. Last year 4'x8'.
This is a great video and you're a Jeep guy! So already a solid human in my book! I do have a question, I ordered this pool as well and while it arrives I wanted to get started on laying out my area. But what is the measurement of the braces from the wall of the pool? That will determine the true space I have to prepare.
Thank you for making this video! We bought this pool last year and struggled setting it up! This year I want to move it and do a better job leveling the ground. Do you remember how much pea gravel you used? And how many planks did you use to stabilize the legs and filter? Thank you in advance for your advice!
I am in need of help! Our pool has the same sand filter and pump. The large o-ring that is between the two halves, where the sand goes needs to be replaced. Any idea how to get one? The bestway website and customer service is even worse then their instruction manual! Thanks guys! Great video by the way!
I don’t think I’m the only one to think this but I need to get it done today; are there any extension hoses I can buy for this so that not everything is smack next to the pool with zero move-ability? I need to especially get the solar heater to the other side of the pool.
Great video. You were a huge help when we set up our pool for the first time a few weeks ago. Do you still use your solar pad? Do you find the suction from the pump is reduced when using it? We have one as well but I find the pump hardly creates any suction, I wondered if its the solar pad. I'd like to get a skimmer but I worry if there is enough suction for it. Thanks
srange question but I wanted to see the kids in it!mine is 9 do you think this is big enough for her will she spend time in it to make the $$ for it also is it ok to put on concrete?
Watched it last year and again now as a reminder on some bits. Great video. Did you find the liner stained and dirty in year 2....most importantly, any suggestions on a better way to heat the pool beyond the solar heater?
I just bought this pool and I am currently prepping the ground. Did you use a normal outdoor extension cord for the pump? I didn't see a power source. Thank you!
Please make a video on maintenance of the pool
Great video

How long was the set up from beginning to end? Not counting water fill up

This video is very helpful as the instructions I got with my pump were insufficient. You're a 'summer-pool-pump-life' saver! Thank you!
No problem. Thanks!
This video was a lifesaver! The instructions were definitely subpar and I couldn’t have done it without this amazing video!! Thank you!!
Great detailed video..thanks for all the tips...literally, Bestway should pay you for this video...their instruction book is horrible
Thank you. I'm glad you found the video helpful.
I have already started assembly of my Bestway Pool. Cool I noted a mistake I made before it is too late. Thanks so much for your video.

I want to do salt as well. Do I just need the generator and some one suggested glass instead of sand??

Thank you, so glad I came across this video, clearly you know what you’re doing. Your family is beautiful!
Thank you so much!
YES
Idk why but it cracked me up seeing you guys set this pool up with winter coats on 😂🤣
12:50 thank you for saying that. I stopped filling bc it was bending and i thought i messed up 🙏🏻
I can’t believe Pete Buttigieg helped me set up my pool. You’re my hero!
You sir, are a saint. I only wish I'd watched this video before setting up! XD
Great job on this vidie fella!! Clear, concise, hit all the important points and great example shots of each of them.
Thank you! We set ours up today and were concerned about the bowing on the sides. Totally agree with the set-up time...took all day!
Did the bowing ever straighten out? Set ours up yesterday, after at least 90%, it seems side rails are still bowing inward.
Chrisstine Whall did your bowing ever fix itself??
Chrisstine Whall mind doesn’t too
@@chrisstinewhall9419 we are having the same problem!
Mine is bow in also, anyone figure out why
Still using this setup video in 2022. Great work!
Thanks this was the only video that explains the filter.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thanks to your family. I followed the manufacturer instructions and you’re right, I couldn’t removed those wrinkles. Many of your comments make more sense than the manufacturer. I’m so disappointed at Bestway’s instructions. Thanks
just got one delivered. its the 14 foot one and i appreciate this vid cause like you said there is none really out there lol.
I just got one also. Did you use sand..or brick under the "U"
Thank you so much!!! We had not one issue setting up the pool thanks to this video. Instructions are really bad, so this is the de-facto instruction manual for this Costco pool.
Great! Thanks!
I wish I'd found this vid before we set ours up! It took us about 2 hours. It's an awesome pool but wow, it takes some doing. Thanks for the vid!
+gratchets No problem. Glad it helped.
The best instruction I ever came across 🙌 thank you so much
Thanks for doing this. Much better than the 'instructions' they provide, and also better than the videos they have put up.
Wish you had made this video 2 weeks ago! You are correct the instructions are crap! Thanks for making this video I’m sure you will helps lots of others who have bought this pool.

Thank you!
I am getting ready to set up my pool. I can’t thank you enough for this video. How much P gravel should I order? Thank you!

Ah man! Yeah, the instructions were bad. Glad the video helped you out.
karina solano yes they were!
hey man jeep solid garage isint replying to me so i thought iw ould ask one of u guys could u please tell me how to set the filter up

Good on ya mate! This is an outstanding overview... this will help me choose and prep before i buy this pool!! Thanks again!
Awesome, so helpful, thank you 👍- i've just bought a 16' x 10' x 48 and will certainly take your tips/advice onboard 👌
Great tutorial!
Mine is filling as I type.
I have serious concerns about the long side rails.
EXCELLENT suggestion about putting the ladder in the pool, IF you don't cover it after every use.
Thanks!
Might sound dumb, but how did you make sure the blocks under all the legs were level? So far I used a level and dug them out for the big sides... but I’m not so sure about the little legs on the ends.
Great job explaining how to put up an oval frame pool. I have a 10 x 30 frame pool and have done some of the tips you mentioned and until now, my pool is doing perfect.

Having the same issue. Seems it won’t stretch over

Best Video for this topic ever. Perfect presentation. Liked very much. Thank you for doing this.
Great vid. Came here for the pool vid and discovered a great Jeep site as well. Very nicely done.
You are super right. Ones you put 2 inch of water is impossible to take the wrinkle out . It has to be little by little
we have the 20x12 we are getting ready to set up but we never saw how much spaces is needed for the pool exterior ... for example how far out the side posts are past the pool itself we live on a mountain we are having to do a lot of ground work want to make sure we get it big enough

Jennifer Carrillo I'm setting up the last pool from any valley Costco in Modesto
Just set up this pool today. Your video was a lifesaver. Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks! look forward to setting mine up now from costco at $399... best video on UA-cam for this pool hands down.
Thank you!
Wow, I thought they were closer to $499
22x12x4'
they go on sale before season kicks in
Bought another one yesterday for $599. Plus tax😫
Any chance you can give a few pointers on how to use the vacuum it comes with?
Thinking about making a video about it...
Can't seem to figure out vacuum either
Here ya go! ua-cam.com/video/EHEH4YRsokE/v-deo.html
Hi I’m hoping you answer a question for me please this video is amazing help but roughly how long did it take to fill with water ? Thanks in advance for any info
- Great video! Thank you. Hope you enjoyed it this summer. Will you please post any handy tips when you disassemble.
Hi there thanks for the hints and tips have just purchased one of these pools you say the solar heater gets too hot in summer months how hot exactly does it make the water
Nice video bro, I just set mine up also. I have the 16' x 10'. Mine has a bag with 3 black plug looking things and a valve thingy that I haven't found the purpose of. If anyone knows what the heck they are needed for please post. These inlet/ outlet filter connections are a lil cheesy compared to the intex I used to have. Man you ain't kidding about the 30 minute thing. It took me a little longer than that just to unfold attached the polls and set the pool up itself. Now to the ladder and the filter. Anyway good video it was cool to see your entire family involved unfortunately had to do it myself since my kids and grandkids live a couple of hours away. Anyway very good video do you others out there it is very easy to set up by yourself if you have to just takes a little time
okay. video was great and helpfull. how much Pea gravel did you use.
Do people usually store away in the cold season or keep up?
Dude thank you for the video. In the instructions it’s saying to install a flow valve in outlet a. I lost so much time looking for it. I thought I lost it. Thanks for the video!
Yeah, instructions were pretty bad. Glad the video helped you out.
So happy to find this video! I hope the installation will go without any troubles! Thank you.
Thanks for making the video.
I bought this pool last year. Used the thin tarp under the pool and tossed it at the end of the season. Bought a 16 x 20 heavy duty tarp this year. Has grommets into which I drove stakes to hold it in place. This bottom of the pool is much more enjoyable to walk on this year.
I did not put the legs inside the band. I totally missed that in th instructions but now I see the drawing. Used a level on them to make sure they were straight to support the weight. Looks good and seems to be fine.
Also, I added the heater late last season and seemed to have more trouble keeping the chemicals balanced, so not even using it this year. It only increase the temp by one or two degrees anyway. Looks like they have a larger solar heater this year. Last year 4'x8'.
Sounds like you're getting it dialed in. Thanks for the feedback and hope you have a ton of fun with the pool this summer!
I use old carpet pieces under the pool
This video is still a hit and very helpful! My pool is 70% full, and still bowjng out. Will it even out once the water is full?
Thank you !
Great video. Thank you so much. With your help many families will be able to enjoy their pools fully!
No problem.
Who's here because of the Coronavirus and had to grab one from Costco?
@@kk-mn5vx $599
Yes!!!
John Smithson we paid 1000 for our pool 😱
Yep, saw that they were $3000, elsewhere for what is normally $1000. Glad I got to Costco early today!!! Now we are stuck at home with a pool!
@@kk-mn5vx Where'd you get yours?
Thank you for sharing this video. It was a massive time saver. Very much appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
This is a great video and you're a Jeep guy! So already a solid human in my book! I do have a question, I ordered this pool as well and while it arrives I wanted to get started on laying out my area. But what is the measurement of the braces from the wall of the pool? That will determine the true space I have to prepare.
You help us to set up our pool since yesterday and today..because its annoying there is no complete instructions..more power to you.
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video! We bought this pool last year and struggled setting it up!
This year I want to move it and do a better job leveling the ground. Do you remember how much pea gravel you used? And how many planks did you use to stabilize the legs and filter? Thank you in advance for your advice!
I am in need of help! Our pool has the same sand filter and pump. The large o-ring that is between the two halves, where the sand goes needs to be replaced. Any idea how to get one? The bestway website and customer service is even worse then their instruction manual! Thanks guys! Great video by the way!
I don’t think I’m the only one to think this but I need to get it done today; are there any extension hoses I can buy for this so that not everything is smack next to the pool with zero move-ability? I need to especially get the solar heater to the other side of the pool.
I love that there all in winter coats when setting up the pool 😂
Great job and information, where did you buy the solar panel?
Great video. You were a huge help when we set up our pool for the first time a few weeks ago. Do you still use your solar pad? Do you find the suction from the pump is reduced when using it? We have one as well but I find the pump hardly creates any suction, I wondered if its the solar pad. I'd like to get a skimmer but I worry if there is enough suction for it. Thanks
Superb great video mate. Such a help. Well done !! Have nice summer time
Awesome that you got the family involved!!! Great set up.
Thanks! Kids are enjoying it now.
+Leonardo Barajas Thanks 👍🏼
srange question but I wanted to see the kids in it!mine is 9 do you think this is big enough for her will she spend time in it to make the $$ for it also is it ok to put on concrete?
Its lasted us a few years, and we have gotten a lot of use out of it. At the end of my pool vacuum video, my kid is in the pool vacuuming.
Watched it last year and again now as a reminder on some bits. Great video. Did you find the liner stained and dirty in year 2....most importantly, any suggestions on a better way to heat the pool beyond the solar heater?
I just bought this pool and I am currently prepping the ground. Did you use a normal outdoor extension cord for the pump? I didn't see a power source. Thank you!
Thanks a lot. Very good Video. The instruction sometimes are difficult to understand. But you make it so easy. Take care and be safe
