The Aqua Select stairs are designed to provide a stable platform for entering and exiting the pool while allowing water to flow through the holes. The holes are typically small enough to prevent sand from escaping while still allowing air and water to move freely, maintaining proper water levels and circulation. Filling the stairs with water instead of sand would create a different dynamic. Sand can help provide stability and weight, which is especially useful in outdoor settings where shifting might occur. If the stairs were filled with water, they might not be as secure and could be more prone to floating or shifting if the pool’s water level changes. Plus, the sand helps prevent algae growth and other debris from accumulating in the stairs.
The openings are NIT that big on mine it took us two house of tapping in a small amount at a time to get the sand In. The holes were about the size of a standard screw.
