A cleaning tool is provided, having a pole configured to extend the life of cleaning equipment. The monolithically formed pole is cordoned off into a first section and a second section. A scored line delineates a tactile boundary between each of the first section the second section. A first pair of apertures and a second pair of apertures are disposed within the first section and the second section, respectively. Upon an aperture of the first pair of apertures being deformed, the first section is removed from the pole at the scored line. Removal of the first section allows an attachment to be mechanically coupled with the second section, thereby extending the cleaning equipment's useful life.

Swimming pool cleaning apparatus may include a cleaning unit intended to be immersed in a swimming pool and at least one liquid filter circuit between at least one liquid inlet and at least one liquid outlet via a filter chamber removable from the body of the cleaning unit. The filter chamber may include a cover and a filter basket. The cover may include components for fastening the filter basket and locking the filter chamber to the body of the cleaning unit. The locking component may be releasable and, when released, may cause an extraction handle to be deployed from the filter chamber and urged toward a predetermined position.

A device for cleaning a swimming pool comprising a base member. The base member having a first base portion and a second base portion. A socket disposed on the base member, and the first base portion the and second base portion each respectively having a hinge end and a distal end. The second base portion hinge end is attached to the first base portion hinge end forming a hinge of the base member. A microfibre cloth removably mountable to the base member; and wherein the second base portion is configured to move between a first position and a second position, in which the first position is an operating position and the second position is a cloth removal position.

A pool cleaning tool have a pole partitioned into a first section and a second section. The first section is positioned at a proximal end of the pole and is configured to be a coupling site for a cleaning attachment. A visual indicium is disposed on the pole delineating a boundary separating the first and the second sections. Each section having a pair of apertures configured to align with complementary apertures disposed on the cleaning attachment. Responsive to one of the apertures in the first section becoming deformed, the cleaning tool can be repaired by severing the first section from the pole along the visual indicium and using the second section as a new coupling site for the cleaning attachment.

A combination pool hook and water tester for pool maintenance without needing to reach or bend to water level includes a pole, a hook, and a bottle receptacle. The pole is tubular and has a side wall forming an inside, a hook end and a bottle end each open to the inside, a plurality of air inlet apertures proximal the hook end, and a plurality of water inlet apertures proximal the bottle end. The hook is selectively engageable within the hook end and is configured to secure and remove a pool skimmer lid, a pool skimmer basket, and a pool sweep. The bottle receptacle is selectively engageable with the bottle end. The bottle receptacle has a threaded end configured to receive a water test collection bottle. The plurality of water inlet apertures takes in water to fill the water test collection bottle when submerged.

A skimmer apparatus has a handle, a net-bottom-rod at a right angle to the handle, offset from the axis of the handle and joined rigidly to an extension of the handle, a movable frame rotatable about an axis at a right angle to the axis of the handle, a slider translatable on the handle, a linkage mechanism joined to the movable frame and to the slider rotating the movable frame about the axis at a right angle to the axis of the handle, and net material joined to the movable frame and to the net-bottom-rod. Moving the slider away from the net employs the linkage mechanism to rotate the movable frame past the net-bottom-rod, such that the net is turned inside out, facilitating divesting material captured in the net.

A pair of cleansing handwear, including a scrubbing surface to scrub a surface of a pool to remove at least one of settlement, dirt, fungus, mildew, mold, and dirt, and at least one fingerless portion, such that at least one of a user's fingers can grasp at least one of tiles, rocks, leaves, and dirt during cleaning of the pool.
