Primate 2X BETA 6FT by 11 FT Carbon Fiber Skimming Pool Pole
Primate
2X BETA (6 x 11ft) Telescoping Pool Pole
is the latest edition to the line-up of the Primate Carbon Fiber Pool Poles. This
pole is specifically designed for skimming a pool’s surface, brushing a pool,
cleaning out small spas, water features, above ground pools and smaller
in-ground pools. It is small, compact and weighs a little over 1.5 lbs.

Primate 2X BETA (6 x 11 ft) Telescoping Pool Pole
Description: The P2X BETA is identical to its brothers the P3X and
2X in strength and durability and features our flagship lever lock mechanism.
However, this version (BETA) is a smaller more compact 2-part pole for those
who would prefer something smaller and lighter for skimming, brushing, and tile
scrubbing.
Specs:
Measurements: Collapsed length – 72″, fully extended – 144″
Weight: 1 lb. 10 oz
Materials: Carbon fiber tubing with fiberglass reinforcement at
stress and wear points.
This is becoming my favorite Primate Pole. I really love the compact
size and the weight of this pole. Of course, if you are using it to vacuum a
pool that is over 6 feet deep you will need the larger Primate Pole or an
Extension. But for skimming and cleaning those smaller bodies of water this
pole is more than perfect. On my route, there are lots of opportunities to use this
little guy an much of my route consists of smaller pools and spas.
The compact size of this pole is amazing. When fully retracted
it is less than 6 ft in length. Meaning you can tuck it away inside your truck
bed or put it in your truck’s backseat. If you service pools with tight areas
or have a screened-in pool, the 2X BETA would be a perfect fit. It is so easy
to store, carry and use that it is a must-have 2nd pole option. I
carry the Primate 2X 8ft by 16 ft pole and this little guy and it is a great
pole combo.
The fact that it only extends out to a little under 11 ft. is a
bit of a drawback for vacuuming. The intended purpose of this pole is for
surface skimming but that doesn’t mean it is any weaker than the other Primate
Poles. It is made from the same carbon fiber and the front is also reinforced
with fiberglass. It is small but mighty. If you do need to use it for vacuuming,
I suggest picking up the Primate X 6ft extension. Just clip on the Primate X to
the front of the 2X BETA and you now have a pole that extends to 17 ft.
It features the same Lever Lock as the other Primate Poles
making it very easy to extend the 2nd section out and bring it in. I
find that the combination of the lightness and the ability to easily extend the
pole a great skimming combination. Using it all day on your pool route will
save the strain on your back as well as your wrists. If you have a bad back or
wrist issues, this pole will make your day easier and you will really feel the
difference after one week.
The price point of the 2X BETA is great and currently, it is
$139.00 on their site. Very affordable and for that price you are getting an exceptionally
well-made product.
