- Extend it from six to 16 feet to get all those hard-to-reach angles, it’s made from a durable aluminum alloy to assure you’ll be able to use it for many summers to come. Two anti-slip knobs keep the pole from over-extending while you clean, and risk losing all those leaves back to the bottom of the pool. While the attachments come separately, this pole is for those of you who know that if you want a pool cleaned right, you’ll have to skim it yourself.
Leaf Rake
- So you’ve got the telescopic pole, you’ve rolled up your sleeves—now what? A skimmer net lets you scoop up all the debris that’s floating on top of the surface with the potential to fall to the bottom and gunk up your pool floor (think leaves, bugs, sticks, etc). To prevent too much work for your vacuum (we’ll get to that a little later), you should ideally be skimming your pool daily.
- There are two types of nets you can use: a flat skimmer for a quick surface clean if you just want to shake off a couple leaves, and bag skimmer. We prefer heavy-duty bag skimmer nets like this one from FibroPool, because they’ll allow you to hold and collect more debris in one go. It comes with a dual-layer mesh that picks up even the tiniest of gross bugs, made from a special polymer blend and a tough frame that’s built to last. If you don’t want to be replacing your skimmer attachment every year, this is the pick for you.
Pool Broom
- Now it’s time to scrub the pool walls and floor, to remove any lingering dirt and brush away algae before it can take over your pool. Before you choose the right pool brush for you, you’ll actually have to think about the surface of your pool, and what material it’s made of. If you have fiberglass, painted concrete or vinyl walls, use a brush with nylon bristles. You can use stainless steel bristles on unpainted concrete and gunite.
- Because your brush is going to be exposed to a lot of pool chemicals (getting the walls, corners, and ladders at least twice a week), durability is always key here. But strength is also the name of the game since you don’t want your arms noodling out after a few minutes—in comes the Wall Whale. The unique added “tail” on the brush actually creates 10 times the force of a normal brush on the upstroke, according to the brand. That means you can brush down every nook and cranny of your pool in about five minutes. Its nylon bristles will also be one of your best defenses against algae.
Vacuum Head
- Break out the, you guessed it, telescopic pole, because it’s time to vacuum your pool to really finish off that clean. Ideally, you should be vacuuming your pool about every other day, but while automatic pool cleaners can save you precious time, using a manual vacuum head can help you maneuver into hard-to-reach-spaces. They’re also good for spot-cleaning areas if you catch a potential debris build-up before it warrants a deeper clean.
Vacuum Hose
- But of course, you’ll want a hose to work in tandem with your vacuum head. This well-designed hose is UV and chemical resistant, flexible, and compatible with most standard pool vacuum heads and telescopic poles, so you can get the most out of your manual vacuuming sesh. Just connect the swivel cuff end directly into the vacuum head, and the other end to the skimmer, and you’re ready to go.

Energy-Efficient
- Some robotic pool cleaners are so energy-efficient that they cost just 15 cents to run a 3-hour cycle. That saves you money and has almost zero impact on your home’s energy use. If reducing your home’s carbon footprint is important to you, this type of product can help you keep your pool clean without negatively impacting your home’s energy usage.
- Robotic pool cleaners are easy to use by design. Simply drop your cleaner in the water, turn it on, and leave it to run. You don’t have to be present while it runs a cycle. When it’s finished, pull it out by the cord and clean the filter, if needed. Want to know more?
- Remember that each model runs in its own way, so the one you buy might work slightly differently. Many videos are posted online about different kinds of pool cleaners, so run a search on the kind you’re thinking about buying before making your purchase.
- Many homeowners still use the services of a pool-cleaning business to maintain their pool. These businesses run on a schedule set in advance. If you’re planning a pool party that conflicts with your pool-cleaning schedule, you’ll have to move your appointment.
- Your robotic pool cleaner runs when you want it to. Planning to use your pool at an unusual time? No problem! You’re in control of your cleaning device.
- Many pool cleaners are so powerful they clean the floors, walls and the water line! You’ll be impressed the first time your robot climbs your pool wall, turns around and goes back down.
- Many models have their own power source that runs independently of the pool system, so your robotic cleaner doesn’t have to be on at the same time as the pool pump and other pool features. Some pool cleaners even have a battery pack. If you buy a pool cleaner with a battery pack, read the device specs to find out how long the battery lasts.
- Many pool robot pool cleaners are pre-programmable, so you can decide in advance when your pool cleaner should run. Programming in advance ensures that the pool cleaning gets done on a regular basis. If you’re likely to forget to run your cleaner, or if you travel a lot, this feature prevents you from going a long time between cleanings. Plus, it ensures that your pool will be hygienic and ready to use when you need it.
- Other than the cost to run your pool cleaner on a regular basis, most mechanical pool cleaners have no ongoing costs. Depending on how much you pay for your pool-cleaning service, this means that buying a robotic pool cleaner could save you hundreds of dollars each year. It’s important to buy a quality pool cleaner to ensure the device you buy will last a long time. A low-end device that doesn’t last isn’t worth the investment, because you’ll have to purchase a new device in such a short period.
