Review on Pool Bestway Steel Pro MAX 56438, 457x122 cm, 457x122 cm by Janis Berzins ᠌

After the season of operation of the pool 4 * 2 m, it was decided to take something more. After studying the placement options, the choice fell on this model because of the optimal size and relatively low price. Common sense immediately suggested that a regular cartridge filter for 3 cubic meters per hour is absolutely nothing. Formally, this pool is the maximum size for a 3-cube filter. Therefore, the pool was immediately understaffed - a Bestway 58499 sand filter pump was purchased for 8.3 cubic meters per hour, a set of Intex 25025 nozzles for 38 mm (I was greedy, I had to take it complete with plunger taps), an Intex 28001 automatic vacuum cleaner, but a Bestway skimmer 58233 is left over from the old pool. Under the pool, a platform with a diameter of about 5.2 m was leveled, paving slabs were dug under the heels, and the surface was covered first with the TechnoNIKOL sheet remaining from the installation of the roof, and then with 10 mm thermal insulation without lavsan film. Unfortunately, after installation, the pool was somewhat upset. Firstly, the bottom is very poorly welded, the seams are disgustingly crooked, the bottom is cut poorly, in some places it can be seen that the excess was cut off and parts of the sides without a print are visible, and in some places the overlap is too large. But the worse thing is that after collecting 10 cm of water, puddles began to spread under the pool. I had to dismantle the bowl and carefully examine the bottom. So there were 3 holes, all on the same fold-crease. Most likely, they kept the packaging in a cold warehouse and turned around inaccurately, hence the damage to the PVC. Sealed on both sides with complete stickers, no leaks. In general, the impressions of the pool are rather positive. In it you can swim in a circle, there is enough space for a more relaxing holiday with a company of 3-5 people. Didn't try again. It is a pity that the manufacturer does not make a more adequate configuration with a normal sand filter pump and 38 mm nozzles. Well, or at least a complete set without a filter at all, so as not to buy extra knick-knacks that you have to either sell for next to nothing, or just throw them into the far corner.
