Categories of Pool Accessories

1. Maintenance Essentials

Maintenance accessories are the products pool owners use most often. Skimmers, leaf rakes, pool brushes, poles, vacuum heads, vacuum hoses, and testing products help remove debris, brush surfaces, vacuum dirt, and keep water chemistry in range.

For broader maintenance needs, explore related pool cleaning supplies, nets, brushes, and poles, pool vacuum hoses, and pool test kits.

2. Brushes, Nets & Poles

Brushes, nets, and telescoping poles are core pool accessories for weekly maintenance. Use a leaf rake to remove debris, a brush to prevent algae buildup, and a telescoping pole to reach steps, walls, corners, and deep areas.

Strong options include the Animal 22" Plaster Pool Brush, Animal 22" Pebble Pool Brush, 10" Stainless Steel Pool Algae Brush, Dually 6–18 ft Dual Lock Telescoping Pool Pole, Purity Ultra-Lite Standard Pool Pole, and Oreq PL2816 Aluminum Pool Pole 8–16 ft.

3. Skimmer Parts & Surface Cleaning

Skimmer accessories help improve surface cleaning, circulation, and debris capture. If your skimmer basket, lid, weir door, or float valve is damaged, your pool may collect more leaves and surface debris than normal.

Useful skimmer accessories include the Oreq Gorilla Tuff-Basket Heavy-Duty Skimmer Basket, Swimables Skimmer Basket with Handle, Val-Pak Replacement Skimmer Basket V50-600, Oreq Skimmer Weir SW907, Swimables Pentair Style U-3 Skimmer Lid, and CMP Pool Skimmer Float Valve.

For automated surface cleaning, compare robotic skimmer options like the Polaris Skimbot Solar Pool Skimmer, Aiper Surfer M1 Solar-Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer, and Aiper EcoSurfer P1 Cordless Robotic Pool Skimmer.

4. Testing, Thermometers & Water Care Accessories

Testing and monitoring accessories help you maintain safe, balanced pool water. Test strips make it easy to check chlorine, pH, alkalinity, hardness, stabilizer, phosphates, and other water balance factors. Thermometers help monitor water temperature for comfort, heating decisions, and seasonal care.

For temperature monitoring, consider the Float Max Floating Pool Thermometer, Oreq Chillin’ Charlie Floating Pool Thermometer, or Shark Floating Pool Thermometer.

5. Floating Chlorinators & Chemical Accessories

Floating chlorinators and chemical accessories help simplify sanitizer delivery and routine water care. Products like the Chillin' Charlie 3" Tab Floater, Adjustable 3" Chlorine Tablet Floater, Mallard Duck 3" Tab Floater, and 1" Tablet Floater can help maintain steady sanitizer distribution.

Chlorine tablets and some sanitizers may be limited to local pickup or in-store purchase depending on shipping restrictions. For online orders, focus on eligible accessories, test kits, maintenance tools, and water care support products shown as available for shipping.

6. Comfort, Loungers, Toys & Pool Fun

Pool accessories are not only about maintenance. Floats, loungers, dive toys, and games make your pool more enjoyable for kids, families, and guests.

Fun pool accessories include the Solstice Designer Loop Lounger, Swimline FLEXI Dive Sticks, Swimline Dive Rings, Swimline NEO Dive Balls, Swimline Animal Fun Bands Dive Toys, and Swimline Jellyfish Dive Game.

7. Pool Lighting & Backyard Upgrades

Lighting accessories can improve pool visibility, safety, and backyard atmosphere during evening swims. For more permanent upgrades, explore the pool lighting collection, including products like the GloBrite Color LED Light 50 ft, MicroBrite White LED Light 50 ft, and Amerlite 500W Incandescent Light 50 ft.

FAQ – Pool Accessories

Which pool accessories are essential?

At minimum, most pool owners should have a skimmer net or leaf rake, pool brush, telescoping pole, vacuum hose or vacuum head, and water testing product. Good starting options include the Classic Leaf Rake, Animal 22" Plaster Pool Brush, Oreq 8–16 ft Pool Pole, and Poolife 6-Way Test Strips.

Do I need a pool cover year-round?

Not every pool needs the same type of cover year-round. Solar covers can help retain heat and reduce evaporation during swim season, while winter or safety covers are more useful during off-season protection. Choose a cover based on pool type, climate, safety needs, and how often the pool is used.

Are your accessories compatible with above-ground pools?

Yes. Many pool accessories, including brushes, nets, poles, test strips, thermometers, floaters, and toys, can be used with both above-ground and inground pools. Always check size, attachment type, and product compatibility before ordering.

What is the best way to store pool accessories?

Rinse accessories after use, let them dry, and store them in a shaded, dry area. Keeping brushes, nets, poles, hoses, and toys out of direct sunlight can help reduce UV damage and extend product life.

Do you carry branded accessories like Polaris, Hayward, Pentair, and Oreq?

Yes. Benchmark Pool Supply carries branded and compatible pool accessories from Oreq, Animal, Swimline, Swimables, Polaris, Hayward, Pentair, Taylor, AquaChek, and other trusted pool brands.

How can I make my pool more fun for kids?

Add simple pool toys and games like Swimline Dive Rings, Swimline FLEXI Dive Sticks, Swimline NEO Dive Balls, or a comfortable float like the Solstice Designer Loop Lounger.
