Costco Pool Setup: Bestway Oval Pool

🌴 👇A few must have items👇

This is the process of setting up Bestway Power Oval Pool I purchased from Costco. I cover everything from leveling the ground, how to set up the pool, to a review of the final product.

This pool can be purchased at Costco, or online here:

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!

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.

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.

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.

12:50 thank you for saying that. I stopped filling bc it was bending and i thought i messed up 🙏🏻

[heathercomstock]

This video was a lifesaver! The instructions were definitely subpar and I couldn’t have done it without this amazing video!! Thank you!!

[kikiherman]

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!

[javierperezvaldez]

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

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.

We just put one up and noticed that the top rails where leaning end put glad to see they will straighten up

[obedvarela]

Thank you, so glad I came across this video, clearly you know what you’re doing. Your family is beautiful!

[UnfoundFamily]

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!

[sfiorini]

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.

[bryanford]

Great job on this vidie fella!! Clear, concise, hit all the important points and great example shots of each of them.

[rayblum]

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, 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!
