    Filling Confer steps with water instead of sand?

    I bought a set of confer steps and filled with sand.No it wasn't fast but it was easy just took time using a small funnel i put over 70 pounds in them. after putting in pool they have not moved and seem so much more sturdier than the ones i had in before with just water.
