Target Stubborn Black Algae Where Brushes Fall Short

Black algae can embed deep into plaster surfaces, making it one of the most difficult pool contaminants to remove. The Pool Tool 145 Black Algae Scraper is a professional-grade stainless steel scraping tool designed specifically to break through tough black algae roots on plaster pool surfaces. When brushing alone is not enough, this scraper provides the mechanical action needed to properly remove entrenched growth.

This tool is commonly used by pool service professionals for corrective cleaning and algae remediation.


Purpose-Built for Plaster Pool Surfaces

The Pool Tool 145 features a rigid stainless steel blade engineered for use on plaster pools only. Its scraping edge allows technicians and pool owners to physically remove black algae colonies so chemical treatments can work more effectively afterward.

Used correctly, it helps restore affected areas and prevents algae from quickly returning.


Why a Black Algae Scraper Matters

Black algae forms deep roots beneath the pool surface, making surface-level treatments ineffective without physical removal.

Why it matters:

  • Breaks through embedded black algae growth

  • Improves effectiveness of algaecides and shock treatments

  • Helps prevent recurring algae outbreaks

  • Saves time compared to repeated brushing alone


Stainless Steel Blade for Aggressive Cleaning

The stainless steel construction provides the rigidity needed to scrape stubborn algae while maintaining durability for repeated use. The compact head allows for precise targeting of affected areas without excessive surface contact.

This scraper is intended for plaster surfaces only and should not be used on vinyl or fiberglass pools.


Compatibility & Common Applications

The Pool Tool 145 Black Algae Scraper is commonly used for:

  • Black algae removal on plaster pools

  • Spot treatment of heavily contaminated areas

  • Professional pool service and maintenance

Fits most standard telescoping pool poles, allowing extended reach for walls, floors, and steps.


Usage Notes

Attach the scraper securely to a pool pole and apply firm, controlled pressure to affected areas. Scrape until the algae head is removed from the surface. Follow up with proper brushing, shock, and algaecide treatment as part of a complete black algae removal process.

Always use caution to avoid unnecessary surface damage.
