A&B Brush Manufacturing 18 Inch Algae Brush, Blue Aluminum Back, Stainless Steel Bristle
Quick overview
- Stainless steel bristles Stiff enough to take algae off hard surfaces where a nylon brush just polishes it.
- 18 inch width A wide head, so a full pool takes fewer passes than it would with a small brush.
- Blue aluminum back An aluminum body rather than plastic, which keeps a wide head from flexing under load.
- Curved head The curved back is shaped to follow the wall and the cove where the wall meets the floor.
- Hard surfaces only Use on plaster and gunite. Stainless bristles will damage a vinyl liner or a fiberglass shell, so keep this brush off those pools.
- Two references Carried as A&B Brush 5040 and also referenced as 917LC.

Product details
The A&B Brush 5040 is an 18 inch algae brush with stainless steel bristles set into a curved blue aluminum back. It is the brush you reach for when algae has taken hold on a hard surface and a nylon brush is not touching it.
Why stainless
Algae anchors itself to plaster and gunite. A softer nylon brush tends to glide over the growth and burnish it rather than break it up, which is why a pool can look no better after an hour of brushing. Stainless bristles cut into it so the sanitizer can finish the job. The aluminum back matters too: an 18 inch head puts real load on the body, and aluminum keeps it from flexing away from the wall.
Surface warning
Keep this brush on plaster and gunite. Stainless bristles will scratch fiberglass and can tear a vinyl liner, so those pools need a nylon brush instead. The head fits a standard telescopic pole, which is not included. It is carried as A&B Brush 5040 and also referenced as 917LC.
