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.

Sturdy ladder

Everything is easy to assemble. Sturdy and works nicely in our pool. The only issue is the bottom riser has nothing to hold it in place, so it just floats out. Needs to have one more step type piece at the very bottom to hold the riser in place.

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.

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.

We love we will have stairs to get into the pool instead of the ladders because these steps make it easier for people to safely get into the pool. We bought 2 sets so we could have 1 inside and outside the pool. We received steps with closed sides but that’s because the National code of ladders changed to now make them that way. We received tips to prevent algae behind them by okaying a chlorine tab in a stocking and hang it behind. Their customer service was amazing too!
