When reach, rigidity, and lock strength matter, the Animal Telescopic Pool Pole 8'–16' with Pro Lock Snap (PL41816) is built to perform. Designed for professional pool service technicians and demanding homeowners, this heavy-duty aluminum pole delivers extended reach, superior control, and a secure locking system that won’t slip under load.

From brushing deep ends to vacuuming large pools and handling heavy leaf rakes, this pole is engineered for daily, high-stress use where standard poles fall short. The Pro Lock Snap system keeps tools firmly in place, while the telescopic design allows fast adjustment across a wide range of pool sizes.

Why a Professional-Grade Pool Pole Matters

Longer poles experience more torque, flex, and stress—especially when paired with heavy brushes, vacuums, or leaf rakes. Weak locks and thin tubing quickly become a liability.

Using a professional-grade telescopic pool pole matters because it helps:

• Maintain rigidity at extended lengths

• Prevent pole collapse during brushing or vacuuming

• Improve control when cleaning deep or large pools

• Reduce fatigue and rework during service

The Animal PL41816 is built specifically to handle these demands without compromise.

How the Pro Lock Snap System Works

The Pro Lock Snap mechanism provides a secure, positive lock that prevents rotation and slippage once the pole is set. Unlike basic cam or twist locks, this system is designed to hold firm under heavy downward pressure and lateral force.

This allows technicians to confidently use aggressive brushes, vacuum heads, and leaf rakes without constantly retightening or readjusting the pole.

When to Use the Animal 8'–16' Telescopic Pool Pole

This pole is ideal for demanding pool maintenance tasks, including:

• Brushing deep ends and tall pool walls

• Vacuuming large residential or commercial pools

• Heavy leaf and debris removal

• Service routes requiring durable, long-reach tools

• Pools where shorter poles limit efficiency

Its wide adjustment range makes it versatile across many pool layouts without switching tools.

Compatibility with Pool Tools & Accessories

The Animal PL41816 is compatible with standard pool attachments, including:

• Pool brushes and brooms

• Leaf rakes and skimmers

• Manual vacuum heads

• Safety hooks and rescue tools

The reinforced snap connection ensures tools stay secure even during aggressive cleaning.

Heavy-Duty Aluminum Construction

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, this pole balances strength and weight for professional handling. It resists rust, chemical exposure, and bending under normal service conditions.

Despite its extended reach, the pole remains manageable, allowing for precise control without excessive flex.

Use & Care Best Practices

Always ensure the Pro Lock Snap is fully engaged before applying pressure. Rinse the pole after use, especially when exposed to high chlorine levels, and store it collapsed in a shaded area to reduce UV exposure.

Avoid dropping the pole onto hard surfaces to maintain lock alignment and long-term performance.
