Product details

This is the A&B Brush Manufacturing 12 inch algae brush, built with stainless steel bristles in five rows on a blue aluminum block with a Kwik-Fit handle fitting.

When stainless is the right brush

Nylon handles weekly brushing. Stainless is what you bring out when algae has gripped a plaster surface and a nylon brush is just sliding across the top of it. The steel bristles cut into the algae film and lift it off the surface so the sanitizer can finish the job, which is why this style of brush shows up in every service truck that works plaster pools.

Which surfaces it belongs on

Use it on plaster, gunite and concrete. Do not use it on a vinyl liner, on fiberglass or on a painted surface. Stainless bristles will scratch and tear those finishes, and the damage is not repairable by brushing it again more gently. If your pool has any of those surfaces, choose a nylon brush.

The block is 12 inches wide and takes a standard pool pole, which is not included.

Questions and answers

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

Can I use this on a vinyl liner?
No. Stainless steel bristles are meant for plaster, gunite and concrete. On a vinyl liner, on fiberglass or on a painted surface they will cut and scar the finish, so use a nylon brush there instead.
How wide is the block?
12 inches, with 5 rows of stainless bristle.
Does a pole come with it?
No. The brush takes a Kwik-Fit handle and mounts to a standard pool pole, which is sold separately.
When do I need stainless rather than nylon?
Reach for stainless when algae has taken hold on a plaster surface and nylon is only sliding over it. For routine weekly brushing, nylon is the safer choice on any finish.
