Tired of Your Skimlite 6016? Discover the Future of Long Pool Poles
Ask any seasoned pool tech—Skimlite 6016 aluminum poles are a staple in many trucks. But in a market where every minute counts and performance matters, more pros are asking: is there something stronger and lighter than aluminum? After years relying on the 6016, I found myself swapping out bent poles after heavy leaf loads and dealing with jammed twist locks. That’s why Preston, fellow pool pro and certified operator, engineered the 26ft Carbon Fiber Pool Pole (buy here)—it’s made for techs who need more than what aluminum gives.
What Does the Skimlite 6016 Offer—and Where Does it Fall Short?
- Length: 6 to 16 ft extension—solid, but not enough for commercial pools or deep ends without creative (risky) ladder tricks.
- Weight: Heavy after hours of brushing or netting, especially fully extended.
- Durability: One serious bend and your day’s shot. Aluminum just doesn’t bounce back.
- Twist Lock Issues: Jammed, stuck, or slipping after grime or grit buildup.
Enter Carbon Fiber: The Pro’s Solution
The 26ft Carbon Fiber Pool Pole changes your game:
- Lighter by a mile: Carry all day. Brush, net, and vacuum with sniper-level precision—no more forearm fatigue.
- Stronger, longer, safer: 26ft reach means no more balancing acts on the coping or splitting your time with two poles. Engineered for commercial pools and deep ends.
- Quick-release clamps: One-handed, fast, and jam-proof—even with wet hands or sandy gloves.
- Built for pros: Preston (yep, he still runs his own route) designed this out of pure frustration with the old aluminum status quo.
