Compatibility & Sizing Tips

Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Replace hardware in sets so steps clamp evenly and the ladder feels consistent underfoot.
- Use washers as intended and tighten evenly—do not over-tighten, which can crack plastic treads or distort mounting holes.
- If bolts seize from corrosion, cut/remove carefully to avoid damaging the step or rail.
- Rinse ladder and hardware periodically to reduce chemical residue and surface staining, especially in saltwater pools.
- Inspect steps and bumpers seasonally; worn treads or missing bumpers can create unsafe footing and damage pool surfaces.
