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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich surfaces it belongs on\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block is 12 inches wide and takes a standard pool pole, which is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A\u0026b Brush Mfg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634393854164,"sku":"ABB-40-2005","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_6c1c8e95-217e-4975-a3a6-ef948dde8864.jpg?v=1788829129","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/a-b-brush-manufacturing-12-algae-brush-stainless-steel-bristle","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
