"Best suction cleaner. This inexpensive tool does the job," reads one review. "After fighting for years with the pressure cleaners, this vacuum cleaner is a blessing. Often, the pressure cleaners can't climb the walls, but this one will. I highly recommend this device."
Great for both in-ground or above-ground swimming pools, you can't go wrong with this vac.

Pool Skimmer Mesh Net
Looking for a perfect leaf skimmer? For dealing with pesky leaves and other debris, this pool skimmer mesh net is a must.
"As a 30 year pool owner I love this net, so much so that I bought this one as a spare/backup," one reviewer writes.
Basket for Pool Skimmer

"These baskets are wonderful since they are sturdy and weighted and the handles come up above the water line for easy access," writes one reviewer.

These are for the average in-ground pool."
Mainstays Floating Beach Ball Pool Chlorinator, 10", 6 Tier Adjusters, Multi-colors
How cute is this chlorinator? It allows you to control the levels of chlorine in your pool and keep your pool water clean while looking like a classic beach ball.
"This chlorine dispenser is THE BEST ever!!! It holds a three inch chlorine tablet in circumference and it will hold 3 on top of each other. This saves time from my old dispensers which only held one," reads one review. "This dispenser will float perfectly in the water. I have tried to turn it over, picked it up many times to see how it would react and every single time it will smooth out and stand straight so as only the top beach ball is above water. It is so easy to load. The beach ball on top just screws apart from the base, load it with your tablets, screw it back on and it's ready to go. It really looks like you have a smaller beach ball floating on the water. It is made of a harder plastic but not the kind that the chlorine eats away at. I have used many different "cute" dispensers over the years and by far this is the best I've ever had. I have had it in my pool now for 2 months and it looks as though I just bought it today. Durable enough enough that I'm not worried about the grandkids putting it out of the pool and breaking. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new dispenser, I'm in love with it after owning many others. Would buy again in a heartbeat!"
