SKIMLITE 8'-16' Eliptilock™ Tele Pole
Product Overview
A proven standard for service technicians who need rapid extension locking without external collar parts to break.
We understand that when it comes to cleaning a pool a pole is one of the most important tools for any professional. The Skimlite Eliptilock™ 3008 extends from 8 to 16 feet using dual aluminum tubes engineered slightly out of round to lock securely by friction. Made in the USA, this design eliminates external plastic nuts and internal cams that typically wear out or jam from grit.

When To Use This
Pro Tip
When clearing heavy leaf buildup in the deep end, remember to always pull heavy loads never lift. Pulling the net along the pool floor preserves the straightness of the aluminum tubes over years of heavy route work.
Common Questions & Instructions
How does the Skimlite Eliptilock mechanism secure the telescoping pole?
The Eliptilock design forms the inner and outer aluminum tubes slightly out-of-round. A slight twist creates friction between the tube walls, locking the pole firmly at any desired length between 8 and 16 feet without external cam rings or thumb screws.
How should I handle heavy leaf loads to avoid bending the pole?
As manufacturer guidelines state: always pull heavy loads never lift! When retrieving heavy debris or waterlogged leaves, drag the leaf rake along the pool floor toward the coping rather than levering the pole horizontally against the water.
Can the Skimlite aluminum tele pole be used near overhead wiring?
No. Observe the manufacturer warning: CAUTION: Aluminum conducts electricity. Keep this pole clear of overhead power lines, service drops, and electrical fixtures during routine maintenance and storage.
