Blue Torrent Easy Pool Step Ladder for Above-Ground Pools

Super easy to put together. I added the sand to both sides outside of the pool. I used a cup and funnel to keep the sand even between the sides. Once they fill just tip the stairs forward to distribute the sand to the other chambers and keep filling. Put the handles on and secure into place with the screws. The two of us were able to lift it up and over the side of the pool with no problems. Tip it around to let the water in and the air out, put into place and secure the top to your decking. Super easy. The hand rails could be better for sure but overall they are nice steps.

Have had this for 2 years. Works great.

I bought my house and the pool that came with the house had this ladder installed. It was old and needed to be replaced. I found the same one here on Amazon and watched for the price to go down to 269.00. It is a nice ladder. I have a 24 round pool (52 in high) with a deck up to it. It fits perfectly. You must follow the assembly instructions! 25lbs of pool sand in each side. Lean it fwd to duspurse the sand through it correctly. Lower it slowly into the pool so it has time to fill the little holes with water.The uprights are flimsy so we added 1, 4ft pvc pipe in each 4 uprights. That helped with the sturdiness.add ALL screws. Make sure to screw the handles to the uprights or they will continue to pull up and out. Once we screwd it to the deck it stayed down and hasn't moved.

These are great steps and easy to assemble

Pros: I like the square design. I like the look. I like that it has “bars” to avoid something/someone from going behind the stairs without intent.Cons: easily floats up even with us adding on the additional weights you can purchase that are designed for this. We were able to add more weights (used large juice jugs filled with sand and zip tied to bottom of ladder) and this stopped the floating. (Plan to spend $70-80 on the added weights and sand you need to buy at a minimum. I’m quite dissatisfied with the flimsy feel of the handrails — seem to be for structural stability than hand rail use. They easily “bend” with pressure is applied. If you make a mistake in putting it together it may be a problem due to how it’s constructed to be assembled….I made an error in construction of the bottom part and had to go buy more zip ties… it uses really large zip ties to keep the bottom “sliders” that touch the pool floor attached to the ladder… wasn’t expecting that but it works.Neutral: price point is average for other stairs . Would love to see an adapter piece to go over pool rail that attaches to the stairs. I’d buy that.

Product is as described, very simple to put together. I didn’t fill with sand, I done what another review said and put a screw into the handrail to prevent them from floating upwards, it works really well. These steps filled with water and they stay down. Handrails could be a little more heavier duty but overall all I’m happy with my purchase and would definitely purchase them again. My pool is a 22x52 and they fit perfectly.
