    I tried this pole because I thought it would be stronger than the multi-piece aluminum pole that kept breaking off at each joint. Turns out this two piece design is just as weak. Also the slip joint won’t hold tight enough to even brush the pool down. It just slides in and out with minimal effort. I snapped the small extension piece in half bring it up out of the water with a half net full of leaves. Don’t waste your money, go find a 1 piece aluminum pole and be done.

    Hello,
    We are sorry to hear the cam on the fiberglass pole would not tighten down and so was clearly defective. If you have not already disposed of it please reach out to ask for a replacement.
    This is not a typical issue! Poolmaster_HDX

    Hi Mich,
    Is this a pole you purchased in store or an online purchase?
    We are happy to assist either way but need more details from you, which you may e-mail to us at : info@poolmaster.com
    In store at Home Depot, the 2-piece, 16' pole is a residential grade .08mm, typical for most homeowners, while there are commercial grades available on homedepot.com (1mm)
    Please e-mail us a copy of your review, approx purchase date or receipt if available and pictures of the pole so we can assist! Poolmaster_HDX
      stick with aluminum this thing they made the heavy end the one that extends OUT so ends up being too heavy to work with, especially for kids. ALuminum is easier to work with and lower and upper poles are similar in weight and size/circumfrance around.

      Hi,
      Sorry you are not satisfied with the pole.
      Many Pool Service people look for a fiberglass pole, for its' weight!
      I agree a child would have a problem using a commercial pole like this one. Poolmaster_HDX

      Worth every dollar
      This pole is far nicer and more sturdy that the aluminum one it replaced. Great find at Home Depot.

      Pole is stronger than the cheaper aluminum poles. After my aluminum pole broke, i decided to get fiber glass. Price was reasonable and cheaper than pool stores. Pole works great!

      Waste of time
      I thought these poles were going to be the ticket, but 6 months now and they don't hold when you tighten the stops down. We thought we had them fixed with tape around the finger locks but after a few minutes using them goes back to slipping and falling apart.

        Heavy and flimsy Dont waste your money
        I knew the fiberglass rod would be heavier than AL but I thought it would be stronger. The worst part is the cheap plastic twist for extending the rod. You can not tighten it enough by your hand to keep the pole from sliding together. Then trying to loosening it is even worse. The Cheap plastic fittings don't work. Bends about just as much as my 3 piece AL pole at 3 times the cost. I thought this would a quality product but it is difficult to use. Glad I didnt trash my old AL 3 piece pole.

        Hello,
        We are sorry you received a defective pole!
        Yes, a fiberglass pole is significantly heavier than a standard residential aluminum pole, but the cam should work well to extend and contract the length of the pole.
        Please reach out to ask for a replacement under warranty.
        Should you need further assistance you may e-mail Poolmaster Customer Service directly with all details, pictures, etc and we will be happy to help!!e-mail: info@poolmaster.com

          I do like this pool pole, but it’s kind of whippie lol it bends a lot. Better than moving my aluminum pole to fast and it will just give out and kink. So the bend tells you your overpowering it and gives you a chance to ease up before destruction.

          The pole is heavy. My hands can’t slide up or down easily because it feels like I could get fiberglass in my hands. Wish I could return & get a refund!

          We are sorry you are not satisfied with the pole.
          By nature, fiberglass poles are heavier than standard aluminum which is why lots of pool professionals gravitate toward using it.
          The fiberglass will not splinter off by moving your hands along the body of the pole.
          We hope you will get used to it and find it is a good tool to have on hand! Poolmaster_HDX

              It’s a pool pole, but it’s fiberglass, it’s not heavy, it feels much sturdier than aluminum poles, and for the price well worth it.
