Product Overview

The Pentair Pool Safety Rescue Hook | R221026 is the Rainbow 153 Series life hook, often called a shepherd's crook. It attaches to a standard straight pool pole so lifeguards, instructors and pool owners can reach and guide a swimmer to the wall.

The hook bolts onto the pole. Pentair sells the mounting hardware separately as part R221030, and the hook is not meant for telescopic poles.

Ideal For

Residential and commercial pools that need a reach-type rescue hook on deck

Swim schools and instructors using a hook as a teaching aid

Replacing a worn or damaged life hook on an existing safety pole

Key Features

Rainbow 153 Series shepherd's crook design

Bolts onto any standard straight pole

Mounting hardware sold separately (Pentair R221030)

Sold individually

Benefits

A rescue hook gives staff and owners a way to reach a swimmer without entering the water, which is why many pools keep one mounted near the deep end.

Because it fits a standard straight pole, you can pair it with a dedicated safety pole you already own instead of buying a complete kit.

Specifications

Confirm your pole is a standard straight (non-telescopic) pole before ordering. Pentair advises against attaching this hook to telescopic poles. Order the R221030 hardware set if you don't already have mounting bolts. Warranty coverage follows Pentair's owner's manual.
