Safety First
This system is built with layered safety in mind. The flip-up exterior ladder helps restrict unwanted access when the pool is not in use—an important feature for households with children. Inside the pool, wide non-slip steps and dual handrails provide stable footing, while the double anti-entrapment barriers block access to hazardous gaps behind the unit. Together, these features reduce the most common pool entry risks: slipping, falling, and entrapment.
Installation
Assembly is straightforward for most DIY pool owners and typically takes about 60–90 minutes. Once assembled, the unit sits over the pool wall with the platform resting securely on the top rail. The designated compartments must be filled with approximately 50 lbs of filter sand to provide ballast and prevent floating or shifting during use. Always follow the included manual for proper setup.
