If the ladder is out, the cups are still going to be there.
Greg, these cups are not typicaly in contact with the water are they? My pool has the drop in ladders, cups only in the deck, (In ground liner). No hand rail at the steps,though I suppose if there were one that would cover it.
I think we will see a metalic coupleing,as discussed, arive shortly.This would be a nice convieniant and standard solution.
