It clips to a standard telescopic pole and covers walls, floors, steps and coves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBristle choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoly bristles are the general duty option. They are stiff enough to lift the film that settles on walls between vacuums but not so hard that they mark softer surfaces, which is why they are the usual recommendation over vinyl liners and fiberglass. Stainless bristles are the aggressive alternative and belong on plaster and gunite. If you are unsure what your pool is finished in, poly is the safe starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the metal back\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide brush head is only useful if it stays flat against the surface. The metal handle bar keeps the bristle block from flexing as you push, so the full 17 inches does work rather than just the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrushing is the part of pool care that gets skipped, and it is the part that keeps algae from ever getting a hold in the first place. A brush that is comfortable and wide gets used more often than one that is not.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pool Pals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48634612973780,"sku":"PSU-78054","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_dde6c906-b87e-4c1c-976a-e114c7fedc8c.png?v=1788835412","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/pool-pals-br2016p-all-purpose-metal-handle-brush-poly-bristles","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
