Must Have Equipment (Pole, Net, Etc): New Pool Owner

Hi, guys just recently purchased a home with a pool and it’s currently going through a major remodel.

I’ve already ordered the TF-100 kit to test my water, but am wondering what other equipment I need to pickup for maintenance such as poles, skimmers, etc. I currently have nothing.

Any must have tools I can order from Amazon?

What pool vaccum do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance.

I am a new Inground pool owner and had to order some equipment.

I ordered a Pool pole (pretty good quality and I'm happy with it)

I also ordered a Net for the pole (again, it seems to be good quality):

A whale brush (awesome brush):

For the pool robot vacuum, I ordered this (happy with this too, but there maybe better/cheaper models from Dolphin)

I'll second that list. As for the pole, there are certainly cheaper ones out there but the JED pole will last a very long time, much sturdier than the less expensive ones.
 
I bought the deluxe or whatever the most exhaustive package is for sale along with the TF-100. My inherited pool came with a pole but otherwise that's all I would have needed to buy. I got an M500 for my robot and it was the best purchase I've made so far. The Dolphins aren't cheap by any stretch although it's hard to argue against their "value."
