Here are 6 Great Christmas Gift Ideas Every Pool Owner Will Appreciate
This holiday season, the pool owners in your life deserve a gift that enhances their swimming experience for the upcoming season.
From simplifying pool maintenance to playful accessories amplifying the fun factor, here are six gift ideas any pool owner would enjoy.
Pool Test Kit
The essential accessory every pool owner must have is a pool testing kit. A kit is the only reliable way to know what is in the water before swimming.
We have tested multiple test kits, and the Taylor K-2006 is the most accurate and reliable testing kit currently on the market.
Your pool-loving gift receiver will love this gift! It genuinely makes pool maintenance and testing much more manageable and, dare I say, enjoyable?!
Telescopic Pole & Cleaning Accessories
Nothing says I appreciate you more than cleaning accessories for the pool! Everything you need to clean a pool manually is a must-have gift.
The telescopic pole is the bedrock of any pool owner. It will be used to vacuum, brush, and skim the water. If you are doing maintenance right, this should be a weekly routine, so these tools will be heavily used!
NOTE: When buying a brush and vacuum head, you’ll want to remember that the type of pool will determine which to get. Using a brush on a vinyl pool that is designed for concrete could scratch or even rip the surface.
For vacuums:
- Roller (on wheels): Typically used for concrete and gunite pools. It also can be used with fiberglass.
- Brush: Used for vinyl and fiberglass pools.
For brushes:
- Nylon brush: Should be used for vinyl, fiberglass, and painted concrete pools
- Stainless steel brush: These should be used on gunite and unpainted concrete pools, though you can also use nylon on unpainted concrete surfaces if you prefer
Outdoor Lighting
Nothing makes a pool feel more complete and “homely” than accent and decorative lighting. It might not be something you initially thought about when discussing pool accessories. However, a pool is a standout piece of any backyard, and lights complement the space perfectly.
Hang them on the pool fence or pergulas, or let them dangle around the decking area!
These solar Edison lights from Brightech work really well and are easy to install. Not only are they both shatterproof and waterproof, but if something does happen to them, they come with a 2-year limited warranty.
Bluetooth Speaker
Some things go together naturally: peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, lounging at the pool and tunes!
Every pool needs music; there isn’t any other way to enjoy a hot, relaxing summer day than laying on a raft with some jams. The good news is you don’t need to wire a whole Soundsystem in the backyard. Portable Bluetooth speakers work just as well!
The Anker Soundcore 2 speakers are loud, last long on a single charge, and are waterproof! If necessary, wireless pairing allows you to use two speakers at a time to enhance the sound area.
If you need a gift for a pool owner that’s a little outside of the box, go with the jams!
Pool Towels
If there is one thing any pool owner knows, you can never have enough towels! With friends and family constantly coming over for a dip, towels can sometimes be a premium commodity.
I like microfiber towels because they dry you off much quicker, and the towels themselves dry quicker so they can be used more often.
Towels truly are the gift that keeps on giving — err, drying!
Pool Basketball Net
Let’s say that your special pool owner has been a good boy or girl this year. If you are looking for a really cool gift, look no further than a basketball net.
Pool basketball is one of those swimming activities that brings out the kid in everyone. From 2v2 to H-O-R-S-E to knockout, there’s a game to play for every angle of competition.
This net from GoSports is very straightforward to set up, and I have found their customer service to be very accommodating if something were to break, chip, or rust after a few swimming seasons.
