Our pool has a deep end so this adjustable pole works well with various cleaning tools. It is useful in the shorter length for skimming the surface with a leaf net, and can be extended to reach the bottom as well. The cheerful blue color looks nice and it also has a rubber hand grip.

This pole measures a whopping 12' when fully extended. I bougth it with this brush: and it works perfectly. However, it WILL NOT fit the cheap tools included with SummerScapes cleaning tools such as nets and vacums. This pole's diameter is much wider.The pole is made of what seems to be aluminum, but I could be wrong. It is light and a bit flimsy, but at this price, it is more thann perfect for my needs. I was looking for a cheap alternative to other more expensive, not so needed poles and this one fits the bill quite nicely.It has two adjusting knobs to to extend it to its max length and vice versa. It is easy to manage and manouver while cleaning; I didn't suffer from arm fatigue or had any difficulty while setting it up. A perfect product for the right needs.A final note. Amazon tried their best to protect the pole from damage during shipping, they stuffed a lot of packing heavey duty paper, but the pole still came with a small bent a the main opening, it was small and easy enough to fix. The material it is made of is thin (not too thin of course) and easy enough to re-adjust/fix.

I have to disagree with the reviews who say this is a flimsy pole. It is very solidly built and fits together very well. The one gripe I have is that you can pull the two halves of the pole apart when you're extending it to it's maximum range. They should have built it with a bump-stop. To be clear, it does not come apart during use; it can come apart if you pull too hard when you're extending it. All you have to do is reinsert the smaller half and twist the handle to lock it in place. Once locked, it's sturdy as a solid pole and works extremely well.PROS:SturdyAttractive blue finishExtends to 12 feetCONS:Have to be careful when extending the pole to maximum rangeThe Bottom Line:This is a good value pole. Very sturdy and easy to use. Just make sure your accessories are made to fit this size pole.

I've gone through several pool poles because they were either cheap and would dent and bend over time or they weren't long enough. Not anymore! This pole is very nicely made with thick aluminum, so it holds up well. It's also plenty long for my large pool. I can reach any part of it with the great extension this offers. The pole stays good and sturdy when extended too. the turn knob to lock has a nice grip and hold the pole in place well. An added bonus is at the end where the attachment goes, there are these clip covers which help big time with getting the attachment on and off. No more fighting with those white plastic clips. The only possible negative is that the pole is slightly heavier than my old one, but that's because it's made a lot better...well worth it! If you're looking for a good pool pole, get this!

This extends far enough that I can reach the far side of my 15 foot pool easily and I added it to my existing net, fits perfect! Very happy.

This is a good pole for your pool accessories and cleaning gear. It’s your standard fit, and it extends smoothly. I like the blue color. It feels sturdy, but the longer you make it, the more wobbly it becomes. Still way better than my old one. Works great for me.

This is a horriblly cheap design and begins to fail after only 2 weeks of use. I have another telescopic pole that has performed perfectly for 7 years.With this Swimline pole, the pole section closest to the handle bends (permanently) ever so slightly under normal use under the weight of the pole itself and any water that gets inside when scoping. Once that happens, that pole section will no longer slide in and out of the next larger section. You can even see where it binds with its enveloping section as the aluminum becomes scratched on the smaller section pole. I did manage to straighten that section of the pole but it just bends again under additional use (so it was not just a manufacturing time issue but rather a fundamental design issue).I took the pole apart to compare its construction with the telescopic pole (unknown brand) that I already had. The thickness of the wall of the metal tubing on the Swimline pole is visibly thinner. I don't have a set of calipers or I'd provide measurements. Note that my other pole was only 12' when extended vs. the Swimline pole is 15' which should have needed a thicker metal (not THINNER). Apparently Swimline is more concerned with shaving a tiny bit of cost rather than providing a quality product.So DO NOT order this pole if you plan to use it at its full length with a net for scooping and want to be able to actually telescope the pole.

Ours just broke after 14 mths but keep in mind we only use it in the summer months and a few times a week. The plastic part which allows you to extend and tighten it has cracked so I need to replace it. You can’t tape it up unless you’ll always use it at that length

Exactly what I needed to fit the Catfish Battery Powered Cleaner Pool Vacuum. It didn't come with the pole and this is what it recommended. Fits perfectly! Very strong and sturdy. Shipping was delivered by FedEx so make sure your home.

Pros: It's a blue aluminium pool pole. Just like every other one. It telescopes. And has holes to clip attachments into.Cons: It required a scheduled delivery due to size of it. But oh well.

I purchased:Solstice by International Leisure Products Hydro Tools 8039 Professional Heavy Duty Leaf SkimmerandSolstice by International Leisure Products Hydro Tools Adjustable Blue Anodized Step-Up Telescopic Pool Pole.I believe I bough the 6 to 12 foot pole. I am happy with my purchase because it does what it said it would do, it's about as good as I expect it to be, sturdy enough, and hopefully it will last a long time if I store it out of the sun. I paid $38.48 before tax for these two items (free shipping) and I recommend it at the price.
