What accessories are needed for pool maintenance: the basic equipment

Removing coarse contaminants promptly significantly reduces the load on the filter system and lowers disinfectant consumption. The specialized website offers a full range of accessories necessary for maintaining high water quality and protecting equipment.

Basic tools for mechanical cleaning

Even with high-performance automatic filtration, some coarse contaminants inevitably remain on the surface or settle at the bottom. A standard set of accessories is used for quick and effective manual cleaning:

• Pool skimmers. Surface skimmers with a shallow mesh are designed for removing floating leaves and insects. Bottom skimmers with a deep mesh bag help remove heavy organic debris from the bottom of the pool.
• Brushes. Special attachments with stiff nylon bristles are used for the regular cleaning of walls and the waterline to remove limescale and organic deposits. The mechanical removal of this buildup prevents the formation of a resistant biofilm and the proliferation of algae.
• Telescopic poles. Universal extendable handles made of lightweight aluminum, to which pool skimmers, brushes, and pool vacuum attachments can be attached. They allow for comfortable pool maintenance of any depth without having to get into the water.

For maximum convenience, manufacturers offer complete solutions. An excellent example is the ready-made Kokido Classic K058CBX. Such sets combine the most sought-after tools:

• Triangular floor brush for pool vacuums
• Wall brush
• surface net
• thermometer

Purchasing a starter set saves you from having to select each accessory individually and ensures ideal compatibility of all attachments with the telescopic pole.

Equipment for vacuum cleaning the floor

Removing fine sand, dust, and heavy deposits from the bottom requires the use of vacuum systems. The choice of specific equipment depends on the size of the basin and the desired level of automation

• Manual pool vacuum. The device consists of a heavy-duty vacuum nozzle connected to the skimmer via a corrugated hose. The removal of debris is achieved by operating the main circulation pump of the filter system.
• Cordless pool vacuums. Compact and maneuverable devices that operate independently of a stationary filtration system. These models are ideal for cleaning steps, depth transitions, and compact hot tubs.
• Pool robots. Intelligent, automatic devices that move independently across the floor and walls. They collect even the finest impurities in their own integrated filter baskets, making manual work completely unnecessary.

Monitoring water parameters and dosing of pool chemicals

Bathing safety and water clarity depend directly on the correct chemical balance. A separate category of accessories is used to monitor and correct these values

• Water testers. Tablet and drop test kits or modern digital photometers (such as devices from the PoolLabseries) enable highly precise determination of pH value, free chlorine, alkalinity, and other important parameters. Regular measurements eliminate the risk of reagent overdosing.
• Floating dispensers (dosing floats). Compact plastic containers with adjustable openings into which slow-dissolving chemical tablets are inserted. The dispenser floats freely on the surface and ensures an even and continuous distribution of the disinfectant over several weeks.
• Thermometers. Floating measuring devices for continuous monitoring of the water temperature, which is particularly important for the correct effect of the pool chemicals and the comfortable use of the spa area.

The expert selection of high-quality accessories makes routine pool maintenance a quick and efficient process. Qualified professionals are always available to advise you and help you choose reliable accessories for your individual needs.​
