4. Choosing Your Pole: The Lock Factor

It might seem like an inconsequential detail but the lock type on your pole can make or break your experience and is a huge factor when choosing your pole. Here’s what you need to know about the different locks.

• Internal Cam Locks – Great for surface work with its quick on and off locking capabilities. This lock type provides the user the ability to control how tight they want to lock the inner tube down allowing the user to customize their experience.
• External Lock – This lock is considered to be a tried and true choice in locks. External locks consist of a simple male and female twist lock connection where the user simply needs to twist the connection down until it stops, and the pole is then set into place and ready for use.
• Dual Lock – This lock style is the best of both worlds for universal work. Dual lock poles have both an internal Cam Lock and an External Lock. These poles provide added protection while servicing as well as the duality of being able to use just one lock at a time for lighter work, as well as using both at the same time for a lock that is guaranteed to hold.
• Snap Lock – This lock has been popular in the painting industry for decades. This lock consists of a push button that allows the user to snap the poles into pre drilled holes along the internal tube eliminating overlocks and unexpected unlocking.
• Pressure Lever Lock – This lock has a hinged lever that allows the user to tighten the hinge to their preferred pressure. This lock allows the user to simply push the lever down into place and the pole is ready for use.

Skimmers

Nets

 

5. Nets & Skimmers: Key Tools for Surface Cleaning

Nets and skimmers are essential for removing debris from the surface of your pool. Skimlite Manufacturing provides:

• Leaf Skimmers: Efficient at capturing leaves and small debris, our leaf skimmers feature fine mesh and durable frames to ensure a thorough clean.
• Debris Nets: For larger debris, our debris nets come in various sizes and are built to handle extensive cleaning tasks with ease. 

 

6. Choosing Your Net: What Mesh Type Do I Need?

From afar they might all look the same but up close there are key differences to mesh type on nets and skimmers that are big factors in choosing the correct net. Here’s what you need to know:

• Fine Mesh – Finer mesh that allows less water to flow through making it great for removing finer particles such as sand and silt from the bottom of the pool.
• Standard Mesh – A universal mesh that allows a moderate amount of water to flow through ensuring your debris does not escape with minimal drag. This mesh is great for all jobs
• Coarse Mesh – Larger meshing that allows more water to flow through making it great for removing a larger volume of debris. This type of mesh is great for jobs like openings and closings for the season.

7. Brushes: For a Deep and Thorough Clean

A clean pool surface is vital for both appearance and safety. Skimlite Manufacturing’s brushes include:

• SPARTAN SERIES COMBO BRUSH: With Silicon Carbide and PBT bristles giving you the best of both worlds, this brush is perfect for tough surfaces and black algae.
• SPARTAN SERIES ALL PURPOSE NYLON BRUSH: This brush features PBT (polybutylene) bristles that are stronger and thicker than the standard PP (polypropylene) bristles used in the industry which allows more efficient brushing. PBT is more heat resistant when compared to PP making it less brittle and more resistant to deterioration. These bristles are all-purpose making them safe on any surface type.
• SPARTAN SERIES ALL GRIT BRUSH: The All Grit Brush features Silicon Carbide bristles that are thicker and longer lasting than stainless steel which makes it ideal for rougher surfaces such as Pebble Tech and Diamond Brite surfaces. These bristles do not rust like stainless steel and unlike stainless steel, the bristles float if dislodged. Great for treating black algae without scratching pool surfaces.
