Expert Comparison & Pro Tips
Compared to entry-level telescopic poles, the Pentair Rainbow 806 offers better rigidity and a more reliable locking mechanism. Cheaper twist-lock poles often loosen during use, forcing constant readjustment. The E-Z Lock system eliminates that frustration by holding firmly in place.
Pro Tip: Rinse the locking mechanism with fresh water after heavy use. This prevents grit buildup and keeps the E-Z Lock operating smoothly for years.

How does the Pentair Rainbow 806 compare to basic telescopic pool poles?
The Pentair Rainbow 806 outperforms basic poles by offering a stronger shaft and a locking system that won’t slip under pressure. While standard poles may work for light skimming, they often flex or collapse during vacuuming. This Pentair pole delivers better control, longer life, and a more frustration-free cleaning experience.
Best For: Ideal Pool Types & Cleaning Tasks
The Pentair Rainbow 806 telescopic pole is best for residential pool owners who want a sturdier, more dependable pole than basic aluminum options. It’s ideal for medium to large pools where adjustable reach makes a big difference during vacuuming and brushing.
