Do any of the swimming pool underwater light shows really work?
looking to add some fun to night swimming, and have been looking for the best deal on battery-operated floating pool disco-type lights. reviews are so mixed, and i don’t want to spend more than needed for a product that matches the description on the box, which it seems few do. i realize i may need to buy more than one for a pool this size, but i want the bottom to be lit, too. thanks for any tips!

Pool Steps and Ladders for In Ground Swimming Pools – Step-by-Step Guide
In-ground pool steps and in-ground pool ladders are designed so that you can conveniently enter and exit your pool. Typically speaking, pool steps for in-ground swimming pools are installed in the shallow end of your pool and pool ladders for in-ground swimming pools are installed in the deep end. In many cases, installing pool steps and pool ladders for in-ground swimming pools is required by building codes so you may have no choice as to whether you invest in these accessories. Another function of in-ground pool ladders and the grab rails on in-ground pool steps is to give swimmers a place to anchor themselves should they need a rest during swimming. Moreover, in-ground pool ladders provide an easy exit point in the deep end of your pool.
Details of In-ground Swimming Pool Ladders and Steps
The design of in-ground pool steps and ladder can vary widely but there are some guidelines that should help you choose the right ladder and steps for your in-ground swimming pool.
Let’s start with a brief discussion of in-ground pool ladders.
• Most ladders will have 2 to 4 steps and should extend below water level by about 2 feet.
• Railings on pool ladders for in-ground swimming pools should be between 18 inches and 2 feet apart. This allows swimmers to fit comfortably between the railings as they climb in and out of the pool.
• There are various grades of ladders for in-ground swimming pools which are built to withstand anywhere between 100kg and 175kg. Consider the uses of your in-ground swimming pool ladder as well as building code restrictions when purchasing your ladder.
Likewise, pool steps for your in-ground pool come in a variety of styles and shapes.
• Before purchasing in-ground swimming pool steps ensure that the steps are appropriate for they type of pool that you have. Depending on the shape of your pool, in-ground swimming pool steps will vary in shape and size.
• It’s always advisable to choose pool steps for in-ground swimming pools that have a hand railing. This is beneficial for children and elderly swimmers and can help prevent slipping and accidents.
• Hand railings for in-ground pool steps should be installed centrally for wider steps.
• As with pool ladders for in-ground swimming pools, some in-ground swimming pool steps will have weight guidelines. Be sure to purchase steps that will be sturdy and easily support the weight of swimmers.
Choosing the Right Model for Your Pool
As mentioned, there are a wide range of in-ground swimming pool steps and ladders and you’ll want to choose the best model for your pool. When it comes to pool steps for in-ground pools the biggest considerations you have to make are about the size and style of the steps. Whether your pool is rectangular, round, oval or an irregular shape will limit your choices when it comes to pool steps for in-ground swimming pools. Be sure to check with the manufacturer or retailer about what kind of in-ground pool steps will fit best for your pool. Sometimes, in-ground pool steps will have to be custom made but in most cases you can find commercially available pool steps for your in-ground swimming pool.
As far as pool ladders for in-ground pools are concerned there is a wide variety available in the market today. When it comes to safety, in-ground pool ladders are not created equal so it is important to do your homework. In-ground swimming pool ladders can be either very cheap or quite expensive. As one might expect, a cheap ladder for in-ground swimming pools is more likely to be flimsy and less durable. In-ground pool ladders can be constructed from plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, or resin. A good rule of thumb is that plastic or aluminum pool ladders for in-ground pools are less sturdy and more affordable while stainless steel or resin alternatives cost more but are stronger and have a longer lifespan.
Think Safety
When it comes to owning a pool, you should know that safety is a paramount concern. While there are many options for inexpensive in-ground pool steps and ladders, these are not always your best choice if you’re thinking safety. Especially for in-ground pool ladders, it is important to invest in a high-quality, durable, and sturdy pool ladder. The fact of the matter is that pool accidents can be very dangerous and even deadly. Always ensure that your pool ladder for in-ground pools is installed correctly in order to minimize possible accidents. Moreover, invest in steps or ladders for in-ground pools that are strong and can support more weight than you expect is necessary. Children can be tough on your pool accessories and should your steps break or the in-ground pool ladder pull away from the side walls leading to unexpected accidents.
