Advanced Pool Care professionals in Memphis, TN talk about pool ladders

Owning a swimming pool means you need to determine how you will get into and out of the water, right? If you have an inground swimming pool you can have a ladder installed or you can have a beach entry or stepped down pool entry with a handrail. The pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. in Memphis TN offer swimming pool ladder tips to consider during your pool construction project.

When your pool contractor installs the swimming pool ladder he has the experience and knowledge to assure it’s secure and that there are no sharp edges that could damage the pool’s surface or rip a vinyl liner pool.

If you have an above ground pool, your contractor will make certain the pool ladder is not only securely fashioned, but that it lifts up easily to keep children out of the water when no adults are in attendance. pool ladder

Swimming pool ladder tips

Clean the pool ladder cups.  The ladder connects to the pool deck or edge and these cups help stabilize it. Install a wedge in the ladder cup. The wedge stabilizes the ladder and keeps it from floating.

  • Above ground swimming pools have cover rings for the ladder cups. These should be installed before the ladder is put into the pool.
  • Fit the ladder into the cup equipment and hand tighten the wedges around the ladder.
  • An adult should test the integrity of the ladder more than once before others start using it.
  • Test the ladder frequently to assure it is always tight and in place.

Adding a pool ladder is a do-it-yourself project for some but if you’re not certain how to do it, talk with a pool contractor and have him or her add the ladder and he will also check it for its integrity when he cleans and services the swimming pool.
