Please read these instructions carefully before first use to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the tools.

2. Product Overview

The Mainstay Swimming Pool Maintenance Kit comprises three distinct tools, each designed for specific cleaning tasks:

• Wall Brush: Features smooth edges to protect pool surfaces and strong aluminum construction. It is designed for scrubbing walls, floors, steps, and corners.
• Leaf Skimmer: Equipped with an extended fringe and curved shape for efficient debris pick-up from the water surface. It has a blue puncture-resistant net.
• Leaf Rake: Utilizes a durable white nylon net to collect leaves and other debris from both the surface and within the water.

3. Setup

All three tools in this kit are designed to connect to most standard pool poles (sold separately). Follow these steps for proper attachment:

1. Select the desired tool (wall brush, leaf skimmer, or leaf rake).
2. Align the tool's handle with the end of your standard pool pole.
3. Push the tool onto the pole until the EZ Clip feature engages. This feature is designed to protect fingers during attachment and ensure a secure connection.
4. Verify that the tool is firmly attached to the pole before use.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Using the Wall Brush

• Attach the wall brush to a standard pool pole.
• Submerge the brush into the pool water.
• Gently scrub the pool walls, floor, steps, and corners to remove dirt, grime, and algae buildup. The smooth edges are designed to prevent damage to pool surfaces.
• Work systematically from top to bottom to ensure thorough cleaning.

4.2. Using the Leaf Skimmer

• Attach the leaf skimmer to a standard pool pole.
• Submerge the skimmer just below the water surface.
• Move the skimmer across the pool surface to collect floating leaves, insects, and other debris. The curved shape and extended fringe aid in better pick-up.
• Periodically lift the skimmer and empty collected debris.

4.3. Using the Leaf Rake

• Attach the leaf rake to a standard pool pole.
• The leaf rake can be used for both surface and submerged debris.
• For surface debris, use similar to the leaf skimmer, sweeping across the water.
• For submerged debris, gently push the rake along the pool floor to scoop up leaves and other sunken particles.
• Empty the durable nylon net as it fills with debris.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, rinse all tools thoroughly with fresh water to remove chlorine, chemicals, and debris. This prevents buildup and extends tool life.
• Drying: Allow tools to air dry completely before storage to prevent mildew and material degradation.
• Storage: Store the tools in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the nets for tears and the brush bristles for wear. Replace tools if significant damage is observed to ensure effective cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

• Tool not attaching securely to pole: Ensure you are using a standard pool pole. Check if the EZ Clip mechanism is clean and free of obstructions. Apply gentle pressure until you hear or feel the clip engage.
• Ineffective debris collection: For skimmers/rakes, check if the net is torn or clogged. For brushes, ensure bristles are not excessively worn. Clean or replace as necessary.
• Brush leaving marks on pool surface: While the brush has smooth edges, ensure no foreign particles are caught in the bristles. Use gentle pressure. If marks persist, inspect pool surface for pre-existing issues.
