Swimming Pool Maintenance Tools & Supplies

Keep your pool clean and well-maintained with essential pool maintenance tools and supplies from Pentair and Calzona. PST Pool Supplies stocks the core tools every pool owner needs — leaf rakes, algae brushes, thermometers, rope floats, pole hangers, winter plugs, and pump lid wrenches, starting from just $10.

The Pentair #117 Pro Leaf Rake (R121230) is a deep-bag skimmer net for removing leaves, insects, and debris from the pool surface and floor — the professional-grade frame and deep bag hold more debris per pass than standard skimmer nets, reducing cleaning time. The Pentair #709 9" Algae Brush with stainless steel bristles (R111626) is the correct brush for scrubbing algae from concrete and plaster pool surfaces — stainless bristles provide the aggressive scrubbing action needed to dislodge algae before shocking. (Note: use a nylon-bristle brush for vinyl liner pools — stainless bristles will damage vinyl.) The Pentair #136 Floating Thermometer (R141200) is an accurate, easy-to-read pool water temperature gauge — essential for monitoring heating efficiency and safe swimming conditions. The Pentair #350 Rope Float (R181016, 3" × 5", blue/white oval) is the standard lane rope float used with a rope and float divider system to separate shallow and deep end areas — important for safety in pools where inexperienced swimmers share space with diving areas. The Pentair #143 Aluminum Pole Hanger (R221042) mounts to pool equipment room or fence to organize and store poles, nets, and brushes off the ground. The #12 Winter Plug for 2" fittings and Solar Repair Kit (plugs only, 10-pack) round out the winterization and repair supplies. The Pentair Dura-Glas pump lid wrench (U79-11) makes opening the Dura-Glas pump basket easy without damaging the lid.

Regular pool maintenance with the right tools significantly reduces chemical usage and prevents costly repairs. Brushing pool walls and floor weekly prevents algae from establishing — brushing disrupts the biofilm layer that protects algae from sanitizers and brings algae into direct contact with chlorine. Skimming the surface daily (or using a timer-controlled skimmer) reduces the organic load that drives up chlorine consumption. A floating thermometer enables accurate chemical dosing — at higher water temperatures, chlorine degrades faster and algae grows more aggressively, requiring adjusted dosing. Keep maintenance tools rinsed and stored off the pool deck surface to prevent UV degradation of net bags and rubber components.
