When it comes to heavy-duty pool maintenance, the Purity Red Baron Tuff Duty Leaf Rake (Model RBTD) stands in a class of its own. Built for professional-grade durability and maximum debris collection, this rugged pool net is the go-to choice for pool service techs, commercial operators, and serious homeowners who demand performance that lasts.
Whether you’re removing large amounts of leaves, acorns, or fine debris, the Red Baron Tuff Duty makes the job faster, easier, and cleaner. Its reinforced aluminum frame and ultra-deep mesh bag scoop more per pass—saving time and reducing fatigue. Designed to survive the toughest pool environments, this rake is engineered to outperform ordinary skimmers and cheap retail nets in every category.
Built for the Toughest Pool Conditions
Commercial-Grade Strength
The Purity Red Baron Tuff Duty RBTD is constructed with a solid aluminum alloy frame, powder-coated for corrosion resistance. This heavy-duty structure resists bending, cracking, or breaking under pressure—whether scooping heavy leaf loads or scraping pool bottoms.
Reinforced Rim Design
The rake’s extra-thick leading edge allows you to drag across the pool floor without worrying about wear or distortion. It maintains its shape even after hundreds of cleaning sessions, ensuring consistent performance year after year.
Deep-Capacity Net
Featuring a deep, long-lasting double-stitched mesh bag, the Red Baron collects massive amounts of leaves and debris in one pass. Its heavy-duty nylon construction is resistant to tearing, UV degradation, and pool chemical damage.
Tuff Duty Mesh Technology
The “Tuff Duty” model uses a coarse-to-fine mesh weave, allowing for faster water release while capturing both large and small debris particles. You’ll notice less drag through the water and quicker emptying times compared to traditional nets.
