Troubleshooting
Pole sections are stiff or difficult to extend/retract.
Clean any dried compound or debris from the telescopic sections. Apply a light silicone lubricant to the inner and outer tubes. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before adjusting.
Locking mechanism does not hold the pole at the set length.
Inspect the locking mechanism for damage or wear. Ensure the sections are clean and free of obstructions. If damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts or service.
Skimmer head feels unstable or wobbly on the pole.
Ensure the skimmer head is fully and securely attached to the pole's mounting point. Check that all connection screws or locking pins are tight and properly seated.
Rust or corrosion on the pole sections.
Wipe the pole dry immediately after use if exposed to moisture. If rust is present, gently clean with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then apply a protective coating or lubricant to prevent further corrosion. Store in a dry location.
