One 29 mm Telescopic Handle Drives Every Tool

WaterStar aluminium telescopic handle TH-2-S: one 29 mm pole for vacuum heads, brushes and leaf skimmers, reaching the pool floor at any depth. Made in Egypt.

The Backbone of the Manual Cleaning Kit

Every hand tool in pool maintenance is only as useful as the pole behind it. The WaterStar TH-2-S is an all-purpose telescopic aluminium handle built to reach the pool floor at any depth, extending for the deep end and retracting for waterline work along the coping. Aluminium keeps the assembly light enough for an hour of brushing without fatigue, yet stiff enough to press a vacuum head flat against the floor rather than flexing away from it. Produced at the Waterstar ISO 9001 factory in Badr City alongside the tools it carries, the handle turns separate accessories into one coherent cleaning system that service crews can move from pool to pool.

Why 29 mm Compatibility Matters

The Waterstar hand-tool family is standardized on a 29 mm fitting, and the telescopic handle is the hub of that standard. The flexible vacuum heads of 12 and 19 inch, the oval liner cleaner, the Streamline and Curved Master brushes and both leaf skimmer nets all lock onto the same pole, so a service technician carries one handle and a bag of heads instead of a rack of dedicated poles. Swapping tools takes seconds at the deck: release, clip the next head, continue. For companies maintaining many pools, this standard simplifies purchasing and spares, since any replacement head from the catalogue is guaranteed to fit the handles already in service.

Handling, Care and Kit Planning

An aluminium pole lives long when treated simply: rinse it in fresh water after each session to clear chlorinated droplets, dry the sections before collapsing them so grit does not score the sliding surfaces, and store it out of direct sun. When vacuuming deep floors, working with the pole at a low angle reduces the lever strain on the lock. The handle is the natural first purchase of a cleaning kit, followed by the heads the specific pool demands. Send the pool dimensions, depth profile and surface type to the Waterstar factory, and the engineers will recommend the right handle and a complete matched set of vacuum heads, brushes and nets.
