Telescoping Pole - repairs

[aylad]

I'm still using the same pole I got when I installed the pool 7 years ago, and don't have that problem. When you store it, are you storing it in a collapsed position, with the grip loosened?

Like Janet, my two poles are still usable. The shorter one is going into its tenth season and the longer into its seventh. I store both in my unheated shed over the winter.

I store mine collapsed with the ring tightened... in an outside location. I'll buy a new one and try leaving the rings loose. Thanks!
