When & Why to Use This Brush
Use this brush regularly as part of your pool maintenance routine — ideal before vacuuming to loosen dirt, algae, or debris from walls, steps, and pool floor. It’s especially useful after storms, heavy pool use, or when algae or scum begins to form. The 18" size gives good coverage while still being manageable on standard poles.
Maintenance & Care Tips
- Rinse the brush thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove trapped debris and chemical residue.
- Store the brush out of direct sunlight when not in use to protect bristles from UV degradation.
- Inspect bristles periodically — if many are worn or splayed, consider replacing to maintain effective cleaning.
- Attach firmly to a telescopic pole and avoid excessive force against pool surfaces to prevent surface damage.
