Product details

The Pentair R111626 is a 9 inch algae brush with stainless steel bristles, sold as model number 709. It is the tool for the patches a regular nylon brush will not shift.

Why stainless

Algae anchors itself to plaster and builds a film that keeps sanitizer from reaching the cells underneath. Stainless bristles are stiff enough to tear that film open so the chemical can finish the job. At 9 inches wide the head is meant for concentrated work on steps, corners, shaded walls and the spots that keep coming back, rather than for sweeping a whole pool.

Surface warning

Stainless is aggressive by design. Use it on plaster and gunite. Keep it off vinyl liners and fiberglass, where a nylon brush is the right choice.

Questions and answers

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

Can I use this on a vinyl liner or fiberglass pool?
No. Stainless bristles are meant for hard surfaces such as plaster and gunite. On vinyl or fiberglass use a nylon brush instead.
What does the 709 refer to?
It is the model number this brush is sold under. The Pentair manufacturer part number is R111626.
How wide is the brush?
9 inches, so it is a spot brush rather than a full width wall brush.
Why brush algae at all if I am adding chemicals?
Algae builds a film that keeps sanitizer off the surface. Breaking that film with a stiff brush is what lets the chemical reach it.
