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.



Here is more from Primate Pool Tools:

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.
