Using, maintaining, and storing your professional pool pole with care can extend its lifespan. It is important to be conscious about the kind of pressure it is handling when using it so you can stop if the weight is too much and the pole feels about to break. Don’t leave it in the blazing sun for too long, as the sun’s UV rays are degrading. Rinse it with fresh water after use, especially if you have a saltwater pool, and store it well in its retracted form.
