18" Stinger Vinyl Pool Brush – Light Blue Bristles for Delicate Surfaces
Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning for Vinyl, Fiberglass & Painted Pools
Vinyl and fiberglass pools need a brush that cleans thoroughly without causing surface damage. The 18" Stinger Vinyl Pool Brush was built specifically for delicate pool surfaces, featuring soft, light blue bristles that safely remove dirt, algae, and stains without scratching or dulling your liner.
This professional-quality brush combines a lightweight aluminum frame, smooth gliding design, and 18-inch wide head for efficient, liner-safe cleaning. Whether you’re a homeowner maintaining your backyard pool or a service technician caring for multiple accounts, this brush provides the precision, control, and durability you can trust.
Why You Need a Vinyl-Safe Pool Brush
Standard or grit bristle brushes are too abrasive for vinyl, fiberglass, or painted pool surfaces. Using them can lead to liner wear, faded spots, or micro-scratches that harbor algae. The Stinger Vinyl Brush solves that problem with a soft, non-abrasive bristle blend that gently lifts debris and biofilm from smooth surfaces while preserving the finish.
The result? A cleaner, brighter pool surface that lasts longer—and fewer expensive liner replacements down the road.
18-Inch Head for Efficient Coverage
The 18-inch brush head offers the ideal balance between reach and maneuverability. It covers large areas quickly while maintaining precise control for cleaning steps, walls, and coves.
This wide format reduces brushing time and ensures consistent, even cleaning—making your regular maintenance faster and easier.
Soft Light Blue Bristles for Delicate Surfaces
The light blue poly bristles are what set this brush apart. Engineered with the perfect level of flexibility, they bend easily against the pool surface, providing a gentle scrubbing action that loosens dirt, algae, and biofilm without scratching.
These bristles are also UV-stabilized and chemical resistant, maintaining their color and shape through exposure to chlorine, sunlight, and daily use. You can brush confidently knowing your liner and gelcoat are protected.
⚠️ Note: This brush is designed for vinyl, fiberglass, and painted pools. For plaster, Pebble Tec®, or gunite pools, choose a brush with stiffer or grit bristles such as the Stinger Pebble Brush or Animal Plaster Brush.
Reinforced Aluminum Backplate for Strength and Stability
Unlike cheap plastic brushes that flex and lose shape, the Stinger 18" Vinyl Brush features a reinforced anodized aluminum backplate that holds its form under pressure. This ensures even bristle contact along the entire surface, maximizing cleaning efficiency and minimizing strain.
The non-corrosive aluminum construction resists pool chemicals and UV damage, giving you long-lasting performance even in tough pool environments.
Lightweight, Balanced, and Easy to Use
Weighing less than a pound, this brush glides effortlessly across walls and floors. The ergonomic design reduces resistance in water, allowing smooth brushing with minimal effort.
Its angled mount helps maintain full bristle contact while reducing wrist strain, making it ideal for long cleaning sessions.
Compatible with All Standard Pool Poles
The Stinger Vinyl Pool Brush attaches to any standard 1.25-inch telescopic pool pole using a universal snap-lock connector. It’s fully compatible with popular professional poles such as Animal Pro Lock, Stinger, and Oreq—so you can swap tools in seconds without adapters or special fittings.
