    Which ladder for soft sided/intex style pool?

    We had the 16ft summer waves and used the Game 50D SandPro Pump and Filter Kit. If you search online you can find those for well under $200. I paid $ 150 in 2017 and it did great those 2 past seasons. Sadly the hurricane took it out so we will start over again. But we were happy with it...
