Product details

The Pentair R111616 is a 6 inch stainless steel algae brush that snaps into any standard pool pole. It is a spot tool, not a general purpose brush.

What it is for

Algae that has taken hold on plaster does not come off with a nylon brush. Stainless bristles cut into the surface film and break the growth open so sanitizer can reach it. The narrow 6 inch head is deliberate: it puts all the pressure you apply onto one small patch, which is what you need on steps, in corners and along the waterline.

Important limit

This brush is for concrete pools only. Stainless steel bristles will damage a vinyl liner and will mark fiberglass, so keep it off both. For routine brushing of the whole pool, use a nylon brush and keep this one for the problem spots.

Questions and answers

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

Can I use this on a vinyl liner?
No. It is stated for concrete pools only. Stainless steel bristles will cut a vinyl liner and will mark fiberglass.
Does it fit my pole?
It snaps into all standard pool poles, so no adapter or special handle is needed.
Why so small?
A 6 inch head puts your whole effort onto a small area. That is what breaks loose a hard algae spot on steps or in a corner, where a wide brush just skates over it.
Should this replace my regular pool brush?
No. Use a normal nylon brush for routine brushing and keep the stainless algae brush for spot treating stubborn patches on plaster.
