Keeping your pool clean and clear is the most important task you’ll need to learn right away.
To make sure you have all the right tools to keep your above ground pool sparkling, here are six vital pool accessories to add to cart:
1. Pool Vacuum
Leaves sinking to the bottom of your pool? Grab the Bestway® AquaTronix™ G200 Robotic Pool Vacuum to automatically suck up all the debris without wading through the water or breaking a sweat trying to scoop it up with a net. This robot has a full range of motion with anti-slip wheels and a directional jet system that allows it to change direction when it encounters walls or obstacles. Plus, the pool vacuum is cordless and features a rechargeable battery that operates for a full 90 minutes, making it a tool that’s easy, convenient and perfect for quick clean-ups.

2. Chemical Kit
Wish pool chemical maintenance was simple? It is with the all-in-one Bestway Pool Chemical Starter Kit! This chemical kit has everything you need to start and care for your pool: Shock X-tra, Chlorine Tablets, Cal Jet Algaecide, Iron Myte Mineral Fighter, Pool Shine Clarifier and 4-in-1 Test Strips. With everything in one box, pool chemical maintenance is as easy as 1-2-3!
3. Filter Pump and Filter Cartridges
Your filter pump is one of the most critical tools for your pool’s overall cleanliness. With an efficient filter pump and a clean filter, all the microparticles that you can’t see, but make your pool water cloudy, are magnetically attracted to the chemicals you add to your pool. After it makes its way through the filter, you can feel confident the water circulating throughout your pool is truly pristine and ready for a splash. Keep extra filter cartridges on hand so you never run out. Find the right size filter cartridge that’s compatible with your pool.




4. Surface Skimmer
Automate cleaning the surface of your pool with the Bestway Pool Surface Skimmer! Simply hook the skimmer to the side of your pool near a suction inlet and attach it to your pool’s filter to commence cleaning. Your skimmer will do the dirty work for you while you’re away, leaving you with a pool that’s free of debris and ready for your next swim.
5. Maintenance Kit
Want to take pool maintenance up a notch? Make cleaning debris from your above ground pool even easier with the Flowclear Deluxe Maintenance Kit that contains all the maintenance tools you need to remove debris quickly and effectively: surface skimmer, skimmer net with pole, vacuum and reusable debris bag. Give your pool a quick clean-up before you take a dip by skimming away leaves and debris floating on top. Then clear away grime from the pool floor and walls with the vacuum. Both the skimming net and vacuum can be attached to an adjustable aluminum pole for large diameter pools. Plus, with the must-have surface skimmer that can be attached to the filter pump or hook on the side of your pool, leaves, bugs and debris don’t stand a chance!




6. Accessory Organizer
Lastly, keep those maintenance tools organized with the Bestway StorePro™ Pool Accessory and Equipment Organizer. This organizer is a simple solution to keep all your pool maintenance equipment in one convenient location. The easy-to-install, durable organizer holds up to 5 skimmers, brushes, rakes or vacuums, has a spot for up to 2 poles, plus a strap to hold additional accessories and hoses. Maximize your storage space and keep everything easily accessible. A win-win!
Your first above ground pool might come with a bit of a learning curve. With the right tools, you’ll master pool maintenance before you know it!
