The Best Pool Accessories to Upgrade Your Summer (2026)
The Best Pool Accessories to Upgrade Your Summer (2026)
2026年夏季泳池升级必备好物指南
Pools are hard. This is not news to anyone who owns one, but the uninitiated may not know about the inordinate amount of daily labor and chores that lie behind a pool’s clear, sparkling, perfectly chlorinated (or salted) water. 打理泳池绝非易事。对于泳池拥有者来说这已是常识，但对于新手而言，可能并不了解要维持泳池水质清澈、闪亮且氯（或盐）含量适中，背后需要付出多么繁重的日常劳动和琐碎工作。
Luckily, pool tech has come a long way in the past decade—gone are the hours spent scooping leaves and dead bugs out of the water with a long-handled net, laboring over pH strips, and trying to relax on floaties too small for your adult-sized behind. We’ve now got robots that clean your pool, apps that monitor water quality from your phone, and even a slushie machine for proper pool-party margs. 幸运的是，过去十年泳池科技取得了长足进步——那些用长柄网捞树叶和死虫子、对着pH试纸发愁、以及试图在对成年人来说太小的浮排上放松的时光已经一去不复返了。现在，我们有了自动清洁泳池的机器人、通过手机监控水质的应用程序，甚至还有能制作泳池派对玛格丽特冰沙的机器。
With gas and plane ticket prices soaring to astronomical levels, there’s never been a better time for a staycation at your own pool. (If you don’t have a pool of your own, you can always rent one nearby on Swimply.) My colleague Christopher Null has a 12- by 36-foot, L-shaped in-ground pool lined with PebbleTec, and I have a 20- by 12-foot above-ground pool lined with vinyl. Between the two of us, we have pretty much tried it all, so whether you’ve got a custom-built in-ground complex or an Intex pop-up from Walmart, these time- and life-tested swimming pool accessories are sure to level up your backyard pool game. 随着汽油和机票价格飙升至天文数字，现在正是享受自家泳池“宅度假”的最佳时机。（如果你没有自己的泳池，也可以随时在 Swimply 上租一个附近的泳池。）我的同事 Christopher Null 拥有一个 12x36 英尺、铺设了 PebbleTec 的 L 型地埋式泳池，而我则有一个 20x12 英尺、铺设了乙烯基内衬的地上泳池。我们两人几乎尝试过各种设备，所以无论你拥有的是定制的地埋式泳池，还是从沃尔玛买的 Intex 充气泳池，这些经过时间和生活考验的泳池配件一定能让你的后院泳池体验更上一层楼。

Updated July 2026: I’ve added a new pool-cleaning robot; resort-style towels; floating sunglasses; and safety gear, including a pool alarm and security camera. 2026年7月更新：我新增了新款泳池清洁机器人、度假风毛巾、浮水太阳镜，以及包括泳池警报器和安防摄像头在内的安全装备。
The Best Pool Alarm: Lifebuoy Bcone Floating Pool Alarm
最佳泳池警报器：Lifebuoy Bcone 浮水泳池警报器
If you (or your neighbors) have small children, investing in a pool alarm may very well be an invaluable insurance policy. Lifebuoy’s Bcone is the blue-chip alarm option on the market right now. It’s a bright red, double-ended cone that floats in your pool (or hot tub) and sounds a siren if something ends up in the water that isn’t supposed to be there. 如果你（或你的邻居）有小孩，投资一个泳池警报器绝对是一份无价的保险。Lifebuoy 的 Bcone 是目前市场上最顶尖的警报器选择。它是一个亮红色的双头锥体，漂浮在泳池（或热水浴缸）中，一旦有不该出现在水里的东西落入，它就会发出警报声。
The system works by detecting disturbances to the water’s surface, analyzing wave patterns to distinguish between the splash of a person (or pet) falling in and ripples caused by the wind. If the Bcone detects an event, it fires off its internal Klaxon and relays the alarm to a Wi-Fi bridge that remains inside the home (plus the Bcone app). The bridge and app both let you easily disable the alarm when people are swimming—and can even turn the system back on automatically when the water is clear, so “I forgot” doesn’t become a deadly excuse. —Christopher Null 该系统通过检测水面扰动来工作，通过分析波纹模式来区分人（或宠物）落水溅起的水花与风吹起的涟漪。如果 Bcone 检测到异常，它会触发内部警报器，并将警报信号传送到室内的 Wi-Fi 网桥（以及 Bcone 应用程序）。网桥和应用程序都能让你在有人游泳时轻松关闭警报，甚至能在水面恢复平静后自动重新开启系统，这样“我忘了”就不会成为致命的借口。——Christopher Null
For Keeping an Eye on Things: Arlo Pro 6
监控好帮手：Arlo Pro 6
This is WIRED reviewer Simon Hill’s pick for best outdoor security camera after testing many models. Though I personally have an older Arlo model, I agree that the brand makes the most consistently user-friendly security cameras on the market right now. Recorded footage of your pool is another important investment in safety and potential liability, especially if you have children or curious animals living nearby. A camera can also function as a tool to help proactively spot potential issues while you’re away from home, such as the water level, cleaning-equipment functionality, and cover positioning. 这是 WIRED 评测员 Simon Hill 在测试了多款机型后选出的最佳户外安防摄像头。虽然我个人使用的是较旧的 Arlo 型号，但我认同该品牌目前是市场上用户体验最稳定的安防摄像头品牌。记录泳池影像也是对安全和潜在责任问题的另一项重要投资，特别是如果你家附近有小孩或好奇的动物。摄像头还可以作为一种工具，帮助你在离家时主动发现潜在问题，例如水位、清洁设备的功能状态以及泳池盖的位置。
Stop Skimming Leaves: Beatbot iSkim Ultra Robotic Pool Skimmer
告别手动捞叶：Beatbot iSkim Ultra 自动泳池撇渣器
As someone who manually fished leaves and dead bees out of their pool with a net for years, I can attest to the utility of an automatic skimmer. It’s not cheap, but if you have a large pool that doesn’t have an in-wall skimming system, a robotic skimmer is a must-have, and this is the pool-cleaning robot reviewer Christopher Null likes best. It’s solar-powered, so you never have to take it out to charge, and it’s got sensors that help it avoid damaging itself by running into your pool walls. 作为一个多年来一直用网兜手动打捞树叶和死蜜蜂的人，我可以证明自动撇渣器的实用性。它价格不菲，但如果你有一个没有内置撇渣系统的大型泳池，自动撇渣器绝对是必备品。这是评测员 Christopher Null 最喜欢的泳池清洁机器人。它采用太阳能供电，无需取出充电，并且配备了传感器，可以避免因撞击泳池壁而损坏。
Outsource Your Water-Quality Chores: Iopool Eco Start Smart Water Monitor
水质管理外包：Iopool Eco Start 智能水质监测仪
Cleaning out debris is only one part of regular pool maintenance. Equally important, if not more so, is keeping chemicals in balance. If things get out of whack for even a few days, you can be left with a green, algae-ridden mess that is a major challenge to remedy. Test strips and kits have long been standard, but they’re a hassle to use and only give you a snapshot of your pool’s chemistry at a specific moment in time. Smart technology offers a much more elegant solution; it lets you keep tabs on chemistry in real time and alerts you if something’s amiss. Of the handful of smart-pool chemistry monitors I’ve tested, I like Iopool’s Eco Start the best. 清理杂物只是日常泳池维护的一部分。同样重要（甚至更重要）的是保持化学物质的平衡。如果水质失衡哪怕几天，你可能会面对一池长满藻类的绿色脏水，处理起来非常麻烦。试纸和测试盒长期以来是标准配置，但使用起来很麻烦，而且只能提供特定时刻的水质快照。智能科技提供了一种更优雅的解决方案：它让你能实时监控水质，并在出现问题时发出警报。在我测试过的几款智能泳池水质监测仪中，我最喜欢 Iopool 的 Eco Start。
This floating gadget monitors temperature, pH, and ORP (a stand-in for free chlorine), together giving you a solid picture of your pool’s disinfection capabilities. It automatically updates every 15 minutes. While many chemistry monitors require replaceable supplies (which is a costly approach) and regular battery replacements to work, Iopool’s solution is solid-state, needing no maintenance at all except for storing it out of the pool in winter months. I used mine for two full swimming seasons until it died (at which point it must be replaced)—and I like it so much I just dropped its successor into the water for the summer. —Christopher Null 这个浮动装置可以监测温度、pH 值和 ORP（游离氯的替代指标），共同为你提供泳池消毒能力的全面概况。它每 15 分钟自动更新一次。许多水质监测仪需要更换耗材（成本较高）并定期更换电池，而 Iopool 的方案是固态的，除了冬季需将其从泳池中取出存放外，完全无需维护。我用了它两个完整的游泳季直到它报废（此时必须更换）——我非常喜欢它，所以刚又买了一个新的放进水里迎接这个夏天。——Christopher Null
