Does this ladder fill with pool water to weigh it down?

It is supposed to bu doesn't. It floats a little but is a very good ladder. Im happy with it

Yes it does but I also recommend putting a pad under the bottom of the ladder. Amazon recommended that.

Yes but it it can also be anchored to your pool. It is so nice to have a ladder that doesn't move every time you touch it. Great ladder, great addition.

it does fill with water but it still will not be heavy enough to hold the ladder down. I took some empty gallon jugs of milk and filled the jugs with stone and then put the caps on the jug. Then I tied the jugs to the ladder steps and it works great and I don't have to worry about algae because the jugs are closed with a cap

Yes................. I didn't use any sand!You have to help it in but it eventually goes down and the top side comes up! :-)

It does fill with water buy we needed to add additinal weight to keep it all the way down. we put a brick on the bottom in the back.

Yes. hold at an angle when putting in pool and the legs & steps fill pretty quick.

Im not sure, its fairly light actually, but filled with water will make it heavier

It does not. I purchased an intex skimmer. I had to clamp it to the pool frame because it tends to float up.

I don't know if that was posted anywhere in the material that I got from the company, but it supports my weight well, and I am considerably more than 200 lbs. (6'2", 280#). However, we bought the ladder so that my wife could get into the pool easier with our granddaughter. So we have it set up backwards, with the steps outside the pool and the ladder in the pool. But it is still very solid.

Honestly, it's not worth it to put sand in. We filled ours with water and it floats just a little. As soon as you step on it, the ladder goes down.

We have not had that problem. The ladder stays in place and does not float. The depth of our pool is 52 inches.

I agree with the previous answer about extra reinforcement and supporting the weight. My other concern would be the pressure at the bottom of the ladder as that pushes against the pool wall and an above ground pool may not support that.

Just the top, the bottom has rubber feet that rest against the pool sidewall. This ladder is for inground pools only.

The ladder legs have plastic coating/feet and do not tear/puncture the pool floor. We have used this ladder for two years now, and no damage to pool.

Yes it will float its plastic tubing, you would have to weigh it down with something.

No. The top inflatable ring rises as the water level rises. With no water, the sides of the pool will fall.

No weights but I've had no problem with it trying to float up unless I tilt the pole when I have it outreached in the center of the pool

It can be adjusted and I believe the measurements are provided on line. However, the lowest it goes is 51" to the bottom of the top platform' i.e. my pool is 48" and it is perfect. By-the-way you have to assemble it which is very confusing and then it has to be filled with water or it will float. Overall a very nice ladder that will not rust. I hope this helps.

I would say yes, if it hangs on the side without it setting on the bottom it will push against the pool walls. If you don't care about that than it's a good ladder, not the best quality but good enough.

Yes. My pool is below ground level and it works fine, even around steps. Above ground pools are an issue because of the ladders.

It's not heavy - you fill it with water for weight. Are you using on an above ground and sitting on a wood deck?

Yes I have the steps outside the pool and the ladder in the pool and I like that better. You have to tie the ladder to either the pool frame or to the steps because it floats. And the steps have to be secured also. I put a rubber bath mat down inside the pool for the ladder to sit on.
