6'-12' Deluxe Ribbed Outer Lock Telepole
Product Overview
A proven choice for technicians who need a rigid, 12-foot reach with a reliable outer locking mechanism that won't slip during heavy scrubbing.
This Poolstyle Deluxe Telepole is constructed from ribbed aluminum with a 1¼″ diameter, providing the structural rigidity needed to prevent flexing when scrubbing deep pool floors. Unlike generic poles with internal cams that often fail or seize, the standout outer lock mechanism ensures secure and reliable length adjustments—simply twist and lock without tools. It extends from 6 to 12 feet, making it a standard specification for residential pools where both compact storage and extended reach are required; when retracted, it is easily transported by service professionals on the go.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
Pool techs often prefer outer-lock poles because you can quickly verify the lock is secure just by looking at it, and if it ever gets tight, you can get a better grip on the external collar than an internal cam.
Common Questions & Instructions
What is the benefit of a ribbed aluminum pool pole over a smooth one?
The ribbing on this Poolstyle pole increases the structural integrity of the aluminum, which prevents the pole from bowing or snapping when you are applying downward pressure during heavy brushing.
How do I maintain the outer lock mechanism to prevent it from sticking?
While the outer lock is designed for tool-free operation, we recommend rinsing the locking threads with fresh water after use to prevent calcium buildup or grit from interfering with the twist-lock action.
Is a 12-foot telepole long enough for most residential inground pools?
In our experience, a 6-12 foot pole is the ideal range for most backyard pools, as it retracts to 6 feet for easy storage while providing enough reach to cover the center of most pools from the deck.
