Plaster and concrete pool surfaces require aggressive, controlled brushing to stay clean and algae-free. The 18" Stinger Plaster Pool Brush with 50% Grit & 50% Poly Bristles is engineered specifically for plaster, concrete, and gunite pools, delivering the scrubbing power needed to remove algae, scale, and stubborn buildup without sacrificing control.

This dual-bristle design combines abrasive grit bristles with durable poly bristles, allowing you to clean more effectively in fewer passes. It’s a professional-grade brush trusted by service technicians and serious pool owners who need consistent results on hard pool finishes.

Why a Dual-Bristle Plaster Brush Matters

Plaster and concrete surfaces develop algae and scale that standard nylon brushes often can’t fully remove. Over time, inadequate brushing allows buildup to harden and spread.

Using a dual-bristle plaster pool brush matters because it helps:

• Break loose algae embedded in plaster and concrete

• Remove scale and mineral buildup more effectively

• Improve sanitizer effectiveness by exposing surface contaminants

• Maintain a cleaner, brighter pool finish

The Stinger 50/50 bristle blend provides the right balance of aggression and durability for hard surfaces.

How the 18" Stinger Plaster Pool Brush Works

This brush features a 50% grit bristle / 50% poly bristle configuration. The grit bristles provide the abrasion needed to attack algae and scale, while the poly bristles help sweep loosened debris away and maintain even surface contact.

The 18-inch wide head increases coverage with each pass, reducing overall brushing time while maintaining consistent pressure across walls, floors, and steps.

When to Use the Stinger Plaster Pool Brush

This brush is ideal for:

• Plaster, concrete, and gunite pools

• Pools with persistent algae or scale buildup

• Weekly brushing on hard surfaces

• Post-treatment brushing after algaecide or shock

• Seasonal cleanup and resurfaced pools

It is not recommended for vinyl liners or fiberglass finishes due to the abrasive grit bristles.

Compatibility with Pool Poles & Tools

The 18" Stinger Plaster Pool Brush is designed to fit standard telescopic pool poles, making it easy to integrate into existing pool maintenance setups.

When paired with a rigid aluminum pole, it provides excellent control for aggressive brushing without flex or slippage.

Built for Professional Use

Constructed with a reinforced brush body and long-lasting bristles, this Stinger brush is built for repeated, high-pressure use. The bristles retain their effectiveness over time, even with regular exposure to chlorine and aggressive brushing schedules.

This makes it a dependable choice for service routes as well as homeowners maintaining plaster pools.

Use & Care Best Practices

Brush plaster and concrete pools regularly to prevent algae from anchoring into the surface. Use firm, even strokes and overlap passes for complete coverage.

After use, rinse the brush with fresh water to remove debris and chemicals. Store out of direct sunlight to extend bristle life.
