    Bestway Rusted Out - Replace with Scaffold poles?

    Ok, my bestway pool is 3 years old and totally rusted out by the end of last summer it's 3rd season. It's left outside all year and is running saltwater which I accept will accelerate the rust process. I really don't understand why bestway don't galvanise the poles tbh as I'd be happy to pay...

    1.5 inch replacement hose for Coleman (Bestway) - does brand matter?

    For 1.5 inch replacement hoses, do you have to get the ones branded for your specific pool? I have a Coleman made by Bestway, but seems like stores only have the Intex 1.5 inch hose in stock right now. Wondering if really they're interchangeable so I could go with the Intex or not. Thanks!

    Better to take down and store, or leave up and winterize

    Have had Intex, Bestway, etc. type AGP for a long time. I've always taken them down for the winter and stored in a shed and I can get almost a decade out of them with some hole patching here and there. How long would the pool last generally speaking if left outside during Midwest winters? Just...

    Bestway Pool legs not in vertical position

    Hi everyone, I am installing a Bestway Hydro Force Steel Max Round 12 foot pool. Got to level the ground perfectly and managed to put a paver in position for each leg. Everything sounds easy, but it's been 5 or 6 not full days of work. Leveling is not hard, but it is definitely time-consuming...

    Replace BestWay Pump Motor?

    Hello Everyone. We’ve got a BestWay FlowClear pump that was working perfectly until last week. I’m guessing the motor internals are deteriorating, which is causing the GFCI to pop ever so frequently. My question is: If the housing is in good condition, is it possible to replace just the motor...
