Deluxe Skimmer with 8-foot TelePole

A long-reach pool skimmer for lifting floating leaves and loose debris from the water.

Reach debris before it breaks apart

Leaves and small floating debris are easier to gather before they become waterlogged. This JED skimmer pairs a debris-catching head with an 8-foot telescoping pole, so you can work across the pool from the edge. Use it after windy weather, when trees are dropping leaves, or after a day with swimmers in and out of the water. A surface pass is a small maintenance task that can keep loose material from circulating through the pool or settling where it takes more work to remove.

Use the pole for broad passes

Extend the pole to reach the middle and far side of the pool, then draw the skimmer toward you with steady strokes. Keep the head just under the surface so floating material rolls into the net. Lift the head clear before emptying it. Avoid pushing debris toward a drain or forcing the pole against a wall. The telescoping design gives reach while allowing the pole to retract for storage. Check the locking joints before each use and keep the pole within the range intended by its instructions.

A complete skimmer for routine cleanup

The 40-355 combines the skimmer head and pole in one tool, useful when you want a ready-to-use surface skimmer rather than a replacement head alone. Its listed package measures 52 inches long and weighs about 1.46 pounds. That length matters when planning storage: hang it vertically or place it where the head and pole will not be crushed or bent. The extended pole lets you avoid leaning over the water to reach floating material near the center.

Empty and rinse after use

Remove leaves and debris from the net after each pass, then rinse away residue and let the tool drain before storing it. A clean net is ready for the next round and avoids carrying wet plant matter back to the pool. This tool is for surface cleanup. Use a wall brush or vacuum head for material attached to the pool wall or floor. The JED 40-355 is a practical fit for a pool owner who wants both reach and the skimmer head in a single piece of equipment.
