Quick overview
- Stainless bristles Stiff stainless steel bristles bite into algae that a soft nylon brush slides over.
- Nine inch head A 9 inch face, sized for working a specific patch rather than sweeping the whole pool.
- Genuine Pentair Pentair part R111626, sold as the number 709 algae brush.
- For hard surfaces Stainless is aggressive, so this brush belongs on plaster and gunite, not on vinyl or fiberglass.
- Breaks the algae film Algae grips plaster and shields itself, and brushing is what opens it up to the sanitizer.
- Spot treatment tool Good for steps, corners, shady walls and the patches that keep coming back.

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.
