10" Stainless Steel Algae Pool Brush – Metal Handle for Plaster & Concrete
Heavy-Duty Algae Removal for Tough Pool Surfaces
When stubborn algae takes hold on your plaster or concrete pool, you need a brush built to fight back. The 10" Stainless Steel Algae Pool Brush combines rigid stainless-steel bristles with a durable metal handle, delivering the scrubbing power professionals rely on to remove deep-set algae, stains, and mineral deposits.
Designed for plaster, gunite, and concrete pools, this compact brush targets problem areas that larger brushes can’t reach—like steps, corners, tile lines, and fittings. It’s an essential tool for spot-cleaning, algae treatment, and maintaining a healthy, beautiful pool all year long.
Compact 10-Inch Design for Precision Cleaning
At 10 inches wide, this brush is small enough to maneuver easily in tight spots yet wide enough for efficient coverage on flat surfaces. The size makes it ideal for targeted algae removal in areas that tend to accumulate buildup, such as near drains, return lines, and steps.
The stainless-steel bristles maintain their stiffness and integrity under heavy pressure, giving you maximum cleaning force exactly where you need it.
Stainless-Steel Bristles for Aggressive Algae Control
This brush features 304-grade stainless-steel bristles designed for deep, powerful scrubbing on rough pool surfaces. These bristles penetrate textured plaster and concrete finishes, loosening algae, calcium, and stains that softer brushes can’t reach.
The stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, chemical-tolerant, and built to last, even under constant exposure to chlorine and UV rays.
⚠️ Important: Stainless-steel brushes should only be used on plaster, gunite, or concrete pools. They are not safe for vinyl or fiberglass surfaces, as the bristles may cause scratches or damage.
Solid Metal Handle for Extra Durability
Unlike plastic-handled brushes that can crack or flex under pressure, this model features a reinforced aluminum handle that provides superior strength and longevity. The metal handle is anodized for corrosion resistance, ensuring it maintains its performance and shine season after season.
It’s built to withstand professional use, giving you reliable control and leverage during tough scrubbing sessions.
Universal Fit for Standard Pool Poles
The 10" Stainless Steel Algae Brush connects easily to any standard 1.25-inch telescopic pool pole using a snap-lock connector. This universal compatibility makes it a perfect addition to your existing pool maintenance setup—no adapters or special tools required.
Attach it to your preferred pole and reach every corner, wall, or step with confidence.
Ideal for Plaster and Concrete Pool Surfaces
The stainless-steel bristles are designed specifically for rough-textured pool surfaces, including:
-
White or colored plaster finishes
-
Gunite and concrete pools
-
Pebble Tec® or exposed aggregate finishes
These surfaces can harbor tough algae in tiny pores and crevices, and this brush’s rigid bristles deliver the aggressive scrubbing power needed to restore them.
Professional Performance and Longevity
This brush is trusted by pool service technicians and homeowners alike for spot treatments, black algae removal, and heavy brushing during startup or maintenance. The materials are chemical, UV, and impact resistant, ensuring the tool performs consistently for years of regular use.
Every component—from the stainless-steel bristles to the anodized handle—is built for strength, reliability, and ease of use in demanding pool environments.

How to Use the Stainless-Steel Algae Brush
-
Attach securely to your telescopic pole.
-
Identify algae patches or stains on plaster or concrete surfaces.
-
Scrub firmly using short, overlapping strokes for even cleaning.
-
Vacuum or skim debris after brushing.
-
Rinse the brush with fresh water and allow it to dry.
For black or mustard algae, pair brushing with an algaecide or shock treatment for faster, more complete removal. Regular brushing prevents algae from reattaching and helps maintain balanced, clear water.
Why Professionals Choose Stainless-Steel Brushes
Professional pool technicians use stainless-steel algae brushes because they deliver superior cleaning power on rough surfaces. Unlike nylon or poly bristles, which bend under resistance, stainless-steel bristles cut through biofilm, calcium, and algae that cling tightly to plaster.
For high-performance cleaning on textured pools, a steel brush is an indispensable tool in every service kit.
