To use a pool for as long as possible, it is important to have the right accessories. Especially in terms of clean water, you should have the necessary pool accessories to ensure the health of all pool visitors.
What accessories are available for pools, and what to look for when buying pool accessories, you can find out in our checklist. We have summarized a list of various pool accessories in our product recommendations.
- A cover prevents leaves and small branches from falling into the pool overnight and when you are not there, which could affect the water quality.
- Use a landing net to conveniently fish leaves, small branches and insects from the surface of the water. Make sure the landing net is long enough so you can reach the center of the pool from the edge.
- If the pool perimeter is higher than 0.5 m, then you should buy a ladder for the pool, so that everyone can comfortably get in and out of the pool.
- Also part of the basic equipment of a pool is a foot bath or a garden shower, so that dirt is not unnecessarily introduced into the pool.
- Test strips, with which you can check the quality of the pool water, are an indispensable accessory for every pool.
- To keep the water germ-free and harmless to health, you need various chemicals. For example, chlorine, a pH granulate and a flocculant. For paddling pools, you can get chlorine-free solutions that are safe for children.
- If the pool water is not to be changed over a longer period of time, you will also need a filter system for small pools. Sand filters are inexpensive and require little maintenance. Cartridge filter systems offer better filter performance. However, these filter systems are more maintenance-intensive and must be cleaned regularly.
- A pool vacuum cleaner is indispensable above a certain pool size. When buying one, make sure that the telescopic handle and the suction hose are long enough so that you can clean the entire bottom area of the pool from the edge.
- A pool robot moves independently through the pool and cleans the floor and walls similar to a vacuum robot cleans the apartment. The suction pump with filter is located next to the pool and should be connected to the robot via a sufficiently long hose so that the radius of movement is not restricted.
- If you don’t want to wait for the sun to heat the pool water, then a solar pool heater is recommended. These heaters do not cost any money to operate. They use the sun’s heat and provide a pleasantly tempered pool water. However, depending on the size of the heating system, it takes a relatively long time to heat up.

FAQ For Pool Accessories
A very important point for a safe and long use is the right care and cleaning. Depending on the model, filter systems, chlorine or other additives can be helpful. There are also cleaning agents for paddling pools, these also manage without chlorine. The basic equipment includes in any case a cover and a landing net. You should also consider that you need a ladder depending on the depth of the pool. In our guide, we have listed the most important pool accessories by category, choosing only the best variants.
What a pool costs depends on what model and size is desired. Thus, pools for splashing around are cheaper than variants in which you want to swim properly. The latter have hardly any upper price limits, while larger, erectable models are available from around 300 euros. You should also consider the follow-up costs (water, cleaning agents, accessories).
If the pool water has turned green, you should first catch removable dirt (e.g. with a landing net). Then you should check the ph level with the meter. This should be between 7 and 7.4 (neutral). Afterwards a shock chlorination can be carried out. This will counteract the algae and plants. To prevent the plants from spreading again, you need a so-called algicide. Now you are almost done, remove the coarse dirt once again and use the filter system. After that the water should be nice and clear again. In order to prevent the green coloration, an appropriate care is necessary. You can find the accessories in our guide.
The ph-value of the pool water increases, for example, especially in very warm weather and due to pollution/contamination of any kind. Swirling of the water also leads to such an increase.
