Abstract: A durable and collapsible strainer basket for pool equipment includes a rigid annular top portion having a radially extending rim; and a flexible basket extending downward from the rigid annular top portion, the rim of the rigid annular top portion including a downward facing surface that extends radially outward beyond the flexible basket and that is positioned to rest on a ledge of a pool equipment cavity, wherein the flexible basket includes a tapered outer shape formed by two or more flexible silicone annular sections having a plurality of holes passing therethrough, wherein the two or more flexible silicone annular sections are configured to be collapsible such that the flexible basket includes a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration.

Abstract: A pool cleaning tool includes a brush head having an elongate frame and bristles extending therefrom; a first repositionable member attached to a first end of the elongate frame; and a second repositionable member attached to a second end of the elongate frame, wherein each of the first repositionable member and the second repositionable member includes: a forward end pivotally coupled to the elongate frame about a rotation axis; an upper surface configured to be rotatable about the rotation axis, the upper surface configured to force the bristles against a surface being cleaned as a result of the brush head being pushed through water in a direction perpendicular to a direction at which the bristles extend; and a locking mechanism configured to selectively retain the upper surface in each of a plurality of positions with respect to elongate frame.

Abstract: A durable and configurable strainer basket for pool equipment includes: a first rigid annular member having an outer surface sized to fit within a first pool equipment cavity having a first diameter; a second rigid annular member removably coupleable to the first rigid annular member, the second rigid annular member having an outer surface sized to fit within a second pool equipment cavity having a second diameter larger than the first diameter, but not to fit within the first pool equipment cavity having the first diameter; and a flexible silicone basket attached to the first rigid annular member.

Abstract: A modularly designed cleaning tool such as a pool is provided with a reinforced neck area to substantially reduce breakage during use. The cleaning tool includes a brush head, a stem assembly, and a reinforcement fitting positioned at the joint area between the brush head and the stem assembly. The cleaning tool is adapted to mate with an elongated tubular pole or handle in a manner such that the pole or handle extends into the annular space defined by the reinforcement fitting and the stem assembly. The cleaning tool also includes a brush having an elongated frame and removable corner bristles extending therefrom. In some implementations, magnetic attachments are disposed on the brush frame and are adapted to pick up magnetic debris along a surface during cleaning.
