Maintenance supplies, repair kits
Pool maintenance supplies and repair kits in Zebulon
Poles, nets, brushes, vacuum hose and repair kits for the weekly routine.
The weekly kit, piece by piece
A pool stays easy when the same few tools get used on the same few days. The telescoping pole is the handle for nearly everything: the skimmer net, the wall brush and the vacuum head all clip onto it, so a pole that locks firmly and doesn't flex is the first thing worth getting right.
The leaf skimmer takes debris off the surface before it sinks. The brush loosens the film that builds on walls, steps and corners, where algae likes to start. The vacuum head and hose pick up what settled to the bottom, and a hose that's the right length for your pool beats one you have to stretch.
The store at 6337 US-19 in Zebulon lists pool maintenance supplies, so call (470) 945-4340 to check on a specific piece. If you're replacing one, bring the old one so the fit matches.

Small tears and leaks, and the kits for them
Before you buy a repair kit, find where the water is actually going. A wet spot that returns after you dry it, a pool level that drops faster than evaporation explains, or a visible tear in a vinyl surface or a float are all different jobs, and a kit is made for a particular kind of damage.
Describe what you see when you call, or bring a photo. A small tear, a pinhole and a seam that's pulling apart don't need the same fix, and saying which one it is keeps you from buying a kit that doesn't fit.
Repair kits are on the store's list alongside the maintenance supplies, so one trip can cover both the patch and the tools to look after it.
When a kit isn't enough, call the store
Some problems are bigger than a patch: a leak you can't locate, damage that keeps coming back, or a tool that wears out every month. That's the point to stop guessing and ask. The number is (470) 945-4340, and the counter is open Monday to Friday 9 to 6 and Saturday 10 to 4, with winter hours that can shift.
If the pool itself looks off, cloudy or tinted, bring a cup of the water along. The store tests any swimming pool's water for free, and a reading often explains why the brush and net aren't keeping up.
