As the weather warms, the urge to jump into the pool to cool off grows. But first, we need to make sure we have everything we need to get our pools ready for fun all summer long. Here are the seven essential items you need to prep your pool for summer.
Pool essentials for summer fun
Keep your pool clean all summer long without lifting a finger with this intuitive pool robot vacuum. It offers impressive suction power that picks up heavy debris, such as leaves, in a single pass and features four-zone cleaning that scrubs your waterline, floors, walls and platforms. Plus, you can select cleaning modes and track cleaning progress through the Beatbot app.
If you don’t want to wait for your pool cleaner to get your pool ready, you can remove larger debris with this skimmer net. The beveled edge guides dirt into the net, and the rounded design prevents it from scratching or damaging your pool’s surface.
This sturdy brush is a must-have for quickly clearing algae from your pool’s walls, steps and corners. It’s excellent for removing stains from pool tiles, and it connects to compatible poles at a 45-degree angle for convenient cleaning. Plus, the multirow bristle design means less scrubbing and faster cleaning.
Cloudy water is a sign that your pool is dirty, but a reliable shock treatment will help clear it in no time. This 4-in-1 formula quickly kills bacteria without affecting pH levels, and dissolves so quickly that you’ll be able to go swimming after just 15 minutes.
EASYTEST 7-Way Pool Test Strips
These test strips provide a quick and accurate way to test your pool’s chemical balance before jumping in for a swim. They test pH, chlorine, alkalinity, hardness, and more, and they’re super-easy to use, requiring only 15 seconds of soaking in water and matching the color you see to the included color chart.
Pool Shark Swimming Pool Chlorine Tablets
Chlorine is a must-have for any pool, as it kills bacteria and keeps your pool safe to swim in. These tablets deliver 90% active chlorine treatment and are compatible with most floater dispensers, skimmers, or automatic chlorinators, helping you get your pool clean in minutes.
Kitloo Solar Floating Pool Lights
For swims after dark, you’ll want a well-lit area to keep things safe, making these floating lights a good idea. These lights offer three dynamic RGB lighting modes and nine static lighting modes. They don’t require any charging thanks to their integrated solar charging panels.
