A new question on Drop-in Steps

[NWMNMom]

Well we got the Biltmore steps and put three bleach jugs filled with sand/water under the steps. We started with 2 but they lifted just enough for the vinyl mat to float out - 3 jugs did the trick.

I am seeing very good water flow through and behind these steps. We were messing around to put the vinyl back and dh wanted to see the "flow" so we put a few drops of blue food coloring and watched it move. So far, no problems with algae but we will be diligent anyways. The water is still on the chilly side so I guess when it warms more, then the algae alert will be in full mode.

Here's a pic of my steps with the jugs holding them down .

I just reopened my pool and it's great to see no green after all these months yaaaaaaaaaaaa !

Thank you pool forum .

I'm thinking maybe I would want to just move the jugs off to the side like that too - as it is, they make the steps heaving having them in the compartment and I would have to be IN the water to remove them, which would be end of season and I'm guessing cold then. Brrr.
