Do you have to use sand with the East Pool Step in order for it to stay down in the water? Or can you use some kind of weight to hold it down?
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/5/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

In order for step to sit properly, it must be weighted in place using approximately 40 lbs of sand. To weight step, place funnel in opening of side panel on top step that is now inside pool. Pour 20 lbs of sand into each side of the step.

Will the steps work for an inground pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/23/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Amanda, Not these would not work on an inground pool as typically an inground pool has a wall height of 42" and these steps are designed for an above ground pool's wall height of 48" - 54". This means that if you put these steps on an inground pool then the top step would rise above your pool deck. We do carry an Inground Pool Step which designed specifically for inground pools.
