A reliable pool pole is the backbone of everyday pool maintenance. The Classic 8'–16' Aluminum Telescopic Pool Pole with Outside Cam Lock (PL2816) delivers the reach, control, and durability needed for routine cleaning in residential pools—without unnecessary weight or complexity.

Designed to work seamlessly with standard pool tools, this telescopic pole extends smoothly to handle everything from surface skimming to wall brushing and vacuuming, making it a dependable choice for homeowners and service techs alike.

Why a Mid-Length Telescopic Pool Pole Matters

Not every pool needs an oversized commercial pole. A well-balanced 8'–16' pole offers the versatility most residential pools require.

Using an 8'–16' telescopic pool pole matters because it helps:

• Reach the center of most residential pools with ease

• Maintain better control than extra-long poles

• Reduce arm and shoulder fatigue during routine cleaning

• Adapt quickly to different tasks and water depths

The PL2816 hits the sweet spot between reach and maneuverability.

How the Classic PL2816 Pool Pole Works

This pole telescopes smoothly from 8 feet to 16 feet, allowing you to adjust length based on the task at hand. The outside cam lock securely locks the pole in place, preventing slipping or collapse while in use.

The aluminum construction keeps the pole lightweight yet rigid, providing consistent control whether you’re skimming the surface or brushing walls and floors.

Ideal Uses for the Classic 8'–16' Pool Pole

This telescopic pole is well-suited for:

• Residential in-ground pools

• Surface skimming and debris removal

• Wall and floor brushing

• Manual vacuuming with standard heads

• Daily and weekly pool maintenance

It’s designed as an all-around utility pole for everyday pool care.

Compatible with Standard Pool Accessories

The PL2816 is compatible with most standard pool attachments, including:

• Pool skimmers and leaf rakes

• Wall and floor brushes

• Manual vacuum heads

• Specialty cleaning tools

This compatibility allows you to build a complete cleaning setup without special adapters.

Outside Cam Lock for Simple, Secure Adjustment

The outside cam lock design makes adjustments quick and intuitive. Twist to unlock, extend or retract to the desired length, then twist to lock. Once secured, the pole stays firm and stable during use.

This style of cam lock is easy to operate, even with wet hands.

Lightweight Aluminum Construction

Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum, the Classic Pool Pole is designed to withstand constant exposure to pool water, chemicals, and outdoor conditions. Its lightweight design reduces fatigue while still offering the rigidity needed for effective cleaning.

Use & Care Best Practices

Extend the pole only as far as needed to maintain maximum control. After use, rinse with fresh water and store out of direct sunlight to extend the life of the aluminum tubing and cam lock.

Pairing this pole with properly sized brushes and skimmers will deliver the best results.
