Pool Accessories & Gear

The gear that makes a pool easier to own and more fun to use: skimmer nets and brushes, telescopic poles, vacuum heads, replacement filters, cover pumps and reels, variable-speed pumps, and the luxury floats worth actually paying for.

Robotic Pool Skimmers

Solar and battery robots that patrol the water surface, collecting leaves, bugs, pollen, and blossoms before they sink and stain. They don't clean the floor — they're a complement to a floor robot, not a replacement.

Robotic Pool Cleaners

Self-contained robots that scrub your pool's floor, walls, and waterline without using your pool pump. We compare cleaning coverage, filtration, cordless runtime, app features, and warranty terms across the brands that matter.

Above-Ground Pools

Frame and steel-wall pools you can install without excavation. We compare real capacity, frame materials, included equipment, setup effort, and how each holds up season over season.

Pool Maintenance Supplies

Chemicals, test kits, and care essentials that keep water safe and clear. We compare active ingredients, real coverage per dollar, and compatibility with different pool types.
