A pole support removably attachable to pole of a pool/spa maintenance tool to prevent the maintenance tool from slipping and falling into the pool. The pole support includes a support base, a pair of outriggers extending upwards and outwards from the support base, and an adjustable fastener system for attaching the support base to selective areas along the longitudinal outer surface of the pole. The outriggers may include a straight and/or curved configuration, and a friction material, to further enhance the gripping features of the outriggers when positioning the outriggers on a surface to secure the maintenance tool in place.
