Quick overview

  • Blue aluminum back An aluminum head body rather than plastic, so the bristle rows stay held under pressure.
  • 6-1/4 inch head A narrow spot brush, meant for working a patch hard rather than covering a whole wall.
  • Straight head A flat straight profile that sits square against walls, floors and steps.
  • Surface guidance Stainless bristles belong on plaster, gunite and concrete. They will damage a vinyl liner or a painted or fiberglass finish.
  • Fits a pool pole Standard brush mount, so it goes on the pole you already own.

Product details

The A&B Brush Manufacturing 5000 is a 6-1/4 inch straight algae brush with a blue aluminum back and stainless steel bristles. It is the tool you reach for when a patch of algae or staining will not come off with the everyday nylon brush.

Why steel and why narrow

Nylon bristles flex away from a hard deposit. Stainless steel does not, so it cuts into the film instead of polishing it. The narrow 6-1/4 inch head is deliberate as well: all of your pressure goes onto a small area, which is what breaks an established spot loose. The aluminum back keeps the bristle rows properly anchored while you work.

Know your surface first

This belongs on plaster, gunite and concrete, where a steel bristle does no harm. Keep it away from vinyl liners and from painted or fiberglass finishes, which will show the marks. On those surfaces a nylon brush and a longer soak with algaecide is the right approach.

Questions and answers

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

What surfaces is a stainless bristle brush safe on?
Plaster, gunite and concrete. Stainless bristles will scratch a vinyl liner and can mark painted or fiberglass surfaces, so use a nylon brush on those.
Why is it only 6-1/4 inches wide?
It is a spot brush. The narrow head concentrates your effort on one stubborn patch of algae or staining instead of spreading it across a wide sweep.
Can I use it instead of my regular wall brush?
Use it alongside one. A wide nylon brush handles the routine walls and floor, and this comes out for the spots that will not lift.
What is the back made of?
Aluminum, finished in blue. It holds the bristle rows more firmly than a plastic back when you press hard.
