Primate 2X (8 x 16 ft) Telescoping Carbon Fiber Pool Pole - Weighs Just 2 lbs!
Description
Primate 2X (8 x 16 ft) Telescoping Pool Pole is the latest edition to the line-up of the Primate Carbon Fiber Pool Poles. If you use a standard 2-piece pole on your pool route, the Primate 2X pole would be a great fit for you. The Carbon Fiber makes it extremely durable and light which is a perfect combination for a professional pool pole.
Here is more from Primate Pool Tools:
The P2X is the newest edition to our carbon fiber service pole series. It is identical to its brother the P3X in strength, weight, and durability and features our flagship lever lock mechanism.
However, this version is a 2-part pole for those who would prefer a traditional 8 x 16 ft service pole.
Specs:
Measurements: Collapsed length – 96″, fully extended – 184″
Weight: 2 lb. 4 oz
Materials: Carbon fiber tubing with fiberglass reinforcement at stress and wear points.
The 2X pole is almost the same length as the 3X pole when fully extended. The 3X will extend to 15’ 7” and the 2X pole fully extended is 15’ 4” so the difference is pretty slight. If you are wondering the 8 x 16 ft Power Pole extends to just about the same length as the 2X Primate Pole.
This pole was specifically designed for the service techs who prefer the 8 x 16 ft pool poles.
Another main difference is that the 3X will collapse down to 6 ft making it a very compact pole. The 2X only collapses down to 8 ft so it is not as compact but weighs the same 2 lbs. 4 oz. It just feels a bit heavier because of the weight distribution. If you already use an 8 x 16 ft pool pole your will really like the 2X pole. I find it convenient to have just two pole sections, although I am a big fan of the tri-pole configuration. But I know the 3-piece pole does not appeal to everyone.
The fact that this pole weighs just a little over 2 lbs. is the game-changer here. I have a bad back and a bad wrist and using these carbon fiber poles has really been a blessing. It may not seem like much going from 3 lbs. pole to a 2 lbs. pole but it does make a pretty big difference throughout the day. After one week with the 2X Primate Pole, you will certainly notice that your back and wrists feel a lot better. Skimming and brushing are much easier and just carrying your stuff back and forth are much easier.
The price point may be prohibitive to some. I always say get the best equipment and since it is a tax write off anyway, why not? But the pole does retail for $219 and if you are a member of my Coaching Group you do get $20 off. It is not the fact that they are making a ton of money off of each pole, the price of the Carbon Fiber material and the labor to have each pole handspun here in the USA makes the price point higher than your standard aluminum pool pole.
The fact that it is made from Carbon Fiber means that the pole should outlast any aluminum service pole. The Carbon Fiber won’t make it indestructible, but it is 3X stronger than aluminum and the front is reinforced with fiberglass.
If you wanted to extend the pole to make it longer for Commercial accounts or for those residential pools that require a longer pole, Primate sells 6 ft and 8 ft snap-on extensions called the Primate “X” which are also carbon fiber and will extend the 2X pole to 21 ft or 23 ft depending on which extension you purchase. You can also use another extension to take the pole to 30 ft.
