"What Are the Essential Swimming Pool Supplies Every Homeowner Needs?"

Having a pool in your new home is exciting, but it also comes with some added responsibilities. Whether you plan to maintain your swimming pool yourself or hire a pool maintenance company you will need the proper tools to keep your pool clean, working properly, and safe all year long for maximum enjoyment To do so you will need the essential swimming pool items listed below:

Swimming Pool Test Kit

The first item should be your test kit. To know if your pool is safe to swim in you need to know its parameters. We recommend the Taylor K-2005, because it includes everything necessary to test your swimming pool water for proper water balance, including total and free chlorine, bromine, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, Ph, and acid demand. This ensures that you have all the information needed to maintain a healthy and balanced pool.

Swimming Pool Telescoping Pole

A Telecopying pole is a versatile tool that allows you to attach a net, brush, or vacuum head to clean your swimming pool. We recommend the Sepetrel Pool Pole, a 15 Foot Adjustable 3 Piece Telescoping Swimming Pool Cleaning Pole.

Sepetrel Surface Pool Skimmer

This surface pool skimmer attaches to your pole and collects all of the small surface debris that the net missed. We recommend the Sepetrel Surface Pool Skimmer due to its widened and inclined front lip for scooping debris easily and assuring no damage to pool liners.

Swimming Pool Brush Head

Once you've netted your swimming pool, you will need to brush your swimming pool walls and steps We recommend the Sepetrel Pool Brush Head which connects to your telescoping pole. We recommend this brush not only because of its durability but also due to its curved edge design which allows you to get the hard corners. This brush is safe for vinyl swimming pool liners.

Just like the floors in your house need to be vacuumed so does the bottom of your swimming pool as well as the steps. For this task, we recommend the Aquatix Pro Pool Vacuum Head with Wheels, which will attach to your pole and pick up all of the small debris that the net wasn't able to gather. This vacuum is recommended for all surfaces except vinyl.
