Rubber Plug for 1.9 Inch Pool Ladder – for In-Ground Pools – Liner Protection

These are 4.8 cm (1.9 inch) rubber safety bumpers for pool ladders, specifically designed to protect the liner. These bumpers are typically installed at the ladder's feet (where they touch the pool floor) and at the points of contact with the wall. Their primary function is to cushion impacts and protect the liner. Bumpers placed at the ladder's feet prevent the metal feet from directly contacting the liner and scratching or puncturing it. Those placed at the wall contact points also protect the liner from abrasion caused by the ladder's metal edges. These bumpers are generally made of soft, flexible rubber or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering good cushioning, chemical resistance, and resistance to pool water chlorine. They typically attach to specific points on the ladder by snapping or inserting them, which greatly simplifies installation and replacement. When the original bumpers harden, crack, or detach over time, the risk of scratching the pool liner increases significantly. Damage to the liner can lead to major leaks and costly repairs. Promptly replacing these 4.8 cm (1.9 in) rubber bumpers is a simple yet essential preventative maintenance measure that effectively protects your pool liner and extends the life of your ladders and pool.
