Ribbed Outer Lock Telepole 8' - 16'
Product Overview
Pool techs reach for this Poolstyle 8' to 16' telepole when they need a rigid, ribbed frame that won't flex under the weight of a heavy debris rake.
This Poolstyle telepole features a dual-piece anodized aluminum construction that extends from 8 feet to 16 feet, providing the reach necessary for standard residential pools. The ribbed exterior provides structural integrity and a better grip compared to smooth-walled alternatives, while the outer lock mechanism allows for quick adjustments during a cleaning route. It is a proven choice for those who need a reliable tool that handles the daily stress of vacuuming and brushing.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Ribbed Aluminum Construction
The longitudinal ribs increase the strength-to-weight ratio, preventing the pole from bowing when lifting heavy leaf loads from the pool floor.
8' to 16' Telescoping Reach
This adjustable range allows for compact storage in a truck bed while providing enough length to reach the center of most 32-foot long pools.
External Locking Cam
The outer lock design is preferred by many technicians because it is easier to service and tighten than internal expansion plugs that can get stuck.
Compatibility
- Standard 1-1/4 inch pool attachments
- Compatible with all standard V-clip brushes, rakes, and vacuums
When To Use This
Pro Tip
To prevent the pole from telescoping unexpectedly, always collapse the pole and tighten the lock before storing it vertically; this prevents grit from entering the inner sleeve and scratching the finish.
Common Questions & Instructions
How does a ribbed telepole compare to a smooth-walled pole?
In our experience, ribbed poles offer significantly more rigidity; the extra surface area created by the ribs prevents the aluminum from kinking or bending under the weight of a full vacuum head or leaf rake.
Will this pole fit standard pool brushes and vacuum heads?
Yes, this Poolstyle pole features a standard 1-1/4 inch diameter end with pre-drilled holes, making it compatible with almost all industry-standard V-clips and pin-style attachments.
How do I maintain the outer lock mechanism?
To ensure longevity, we recommend rinsing the locking threads with fresh water after use to remove salt or chlorine residue that can cause the plastic threads to seize over time.
