Quick overview

  • Stainless steel bristles Metal bristles for algae that a nylon brush will not lift.
  • Metal back The 18 inch back is metal, so the brush keeps its shape under hard scrubbing.
  • Plaster, concrete and gunite Made for hard pool surfaces where stubborn algae takes hold.
  • Not for vinyl Do not use this brush on vinyl pool liners; the bristles are metal and will damage them.
  • 18 inch width Wide enough to cover a wall quickly without becoming awkward on steps and corners.
  • Genuine Pentair Factory part R111646.

Product details

The Pentair R111646 is an 18 inch algae brush with a metal back and stainless steel bristles. It is built for the algae that has stopped responding to a nylon brush.

What it is for

Plaster, concrete and gunite surfaces are porous, and algae roots into them. Steel bristles cut into that surface and break the growth loose so the sanitizer and the filter can finish the job. The metal back keeps the brush from flexing away from the wall while you lean on it.

One important limit

The bristles are metal. This brush is not to be used on vinyl pool liners. If your pool is vinyl, use a nylon brush instead and keep this one for hard surfaces only.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Can I use this on a vinyl liner pool?
No. The bristles are metal and the brush is not to be used on vinyl pool liners. It is made for plaster, concrete and gunite.
What makes it an algae brush?
The stainless steel bristles. They bite into the surface and lift tough algae that a standard nylon wall brush leaves behind.
Is the whole brush metal?
The back is metal and the bristles are stainless steel, which is what lets the brush stay rigid while you scrub.
How wide is it?
18 inches.
