I have white plastic "wedding cake" style stairs for my AG 24' oval. I originally poured a few bags of sand into the railings to weigh it down, but it was too heavy to remove by myself. So I removed all of the sand this winter and I would like to fill the base and side rails with water this time, so that I can drain the water in the fall for easy removal. I need some ideas on the best way to do this... If I use a hose to fill the base and rails, then connect the railings, the water inside would be sealed all summer. Then I would remove the railing and use a shop-vac to remove the water from the rails in the fall. Another idea is to drill holes in the bottom of the stairs, so that lifting the stairs just above the water line at the end of season will allow water to empty making it easier to remove. My fear with this approach is that the water may become dirty and contaminate the pool water over the summer. Maybe I can cap these holse after it is filled? I also don't know if just water will sufficiently weigh-down the stairs. I welcome any and all suggections. Thanks!
