Entering and exiting your pool should be a moment of grace, not a source of worry. We know how frustrating it is to deal with wobbly, thin walled ladders that flex under pressure or show unsightly rust spots after just one season. The AstralPool Standard Ladder with Luxe Steps provides a rigid, high capacity solution that restores confidence to every swimmer, ensuring your pool remains accessible and safe for everyone from children to adults.
A pool ladder is more than just a utility; it is the most handled piece of equipment in your aquatic environment. When you grip the solid 43 mm handrails of this Standard model, you immediately feel the difference that marine grade engineering makes. The "Luxe" steps are designed with a widened surface area and a high grip pattern, eliminating that common feeling of instability or the "cutting" sensation on the soles of your feet that basic ladders often cause.
In a real world setting, your ladder faces constant exposure to splashing water, chemical treatments, and the weight of active users. Because this model is crafted from AISI 316 stainless steel, it is specifically built to withstand the aggressive environment of modern pools, including those using salt chlorination systems. While the ladder is exceptionally durable, its long term shine and structural integrity depend on proper installation into the included anchors and regular rinsing to prevent chemical buildup at the water line.

Decision Support: This AISI 316 Luxe version is the definitive choice for pool owners who have a salt electrolysis system or live in coastal areas with salty air. If your pool uses traditional chlorine and is located inland, a 304 grade might suffice, but for higher resistance to tea staining and pitting, the Luxe 316 series remains the stronger long term choice.
The "Standard" geometry of this ladder is the industry benchmark for a reason. It offers a balanced relationship between handrail height and step depth, allowing comfortable use across different age groups and mobility levels. The defining feature of this version lies in the Luxe step design. Unlike flat stamped steps, the Luxe surface combines stainless steel rigidity with a structured anti slip profile that maintains traction even when feet are wet or soapy. The supplied anchoring fixtures include an equipotential bonding outlet, supporting proper earthing and compliance with modern electrical safety practices.
The ladder uses Ø 43 mm tubing manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel. This alloy contains molybdenum, improving resistance to chloride induced corrosion. The polished surface reduces adhesion of algae and mineral scale, simplifying routine cleaning and maintenance.
The ladder geometry avoids sharp edges and entrapment zones, aligning with EN 16582 1 requirements. Floor anchors install flush within the pool deck, reducing trip risk and allowing easy ladder removal during winter storage.
To preserve appearance and performance over time, follow these installation and care guidelines:
Technical pool equipment demands proper selection and compatibility checks. At LordsWorld, support extends beyond checkout. Our team verifies suitability for concrete, liner, and tiled pools, offers secure European shipping, and assists with installation questions. For technical products, order verification before dispatch helps avoid mismatches and installation issues.
Is this ladder suitable for salt water pools? Yes. AISI 316 stainless steel resists salt and high chlorine exposure.
How many steps do I need? Three steps suit depths around 1 meter, four for 1.25 meters, and five for 1.5 meters. Bottom step clearance should remain comfortable above the pool floor.
Can the ladder be removed during winter? Yes. The ladder slides out of the anchors and stores easily in a dry area during the off season.
