Animal 22" Pool Brush – Heavy-Duty Plaster Brush for Concrete & Gunite Pools
Built Tough for Plaster, Gunite & Concrete Pool Surfaces
For deep cleaning and routine maintenance on hard pool finishes, you need power, coverage, and reliability. The Animal 22" Heavy-Duty Plaster Brush delivers all three—designed for plaster, gunite, and concrete pools that require strong, consistent brushing to prevent algae and calcium buildup.
With its extra-wide 22-inch head, stiff bristles, and reinforced aluminum frame, this professional-grade brush covers more surface area per stroke, cutting down cleaning time while ensuring thorough contact with every pass. Whether you’re maintaining commercial properties or your backyard pool, the Animal Plaster Brush makes heavy brushing effortless, efficient, and built to last.
Professional Cleaning Power in Every Stroke
The 22-inch width means fewer passes, more coverage, and less fatigue—especially in large or deep pools. Its balanced design distributes pressure evenly across all bristles, maintaining full contact along curved walls, steps, and floors.
Combined with rigid construction and aggressive bristles, the Animal 22" Brush effectively loosens algae, dirt, and calcium deposits embedded in rough finishes. Pool pros trust it because it delivers consistent, reliable results without warping, cracking, or bending.
Durable Frame with Anodized Aluminum Reinforcement
The backbone of the Animal Plaster Brush is its corrosion-resistant aluminum backplate. Unlike all-plastic models that flex under pressure, the anodized aluminum provides excellent strength and rigidity—keeping the bristles locked in a straight line for even cleaning power.
This sturdy construction extends the life of the brush while resisting damage from sun, chlorine, and chemicals. Reinforced side caps add durability for daily professional use and protect the frame from edge impact when brushing tight spaces.
Stiff Nylon Bristles for Heavy-Duty Scrubbing
Plaster, gunite, and concrete finishes need tough bristles that dig in without damaging the surface. The Animal 22" Plaster Brush uses extra-stiff nylon bristles that hold their shape under pressure, removing algae and buildup efficiently.
These bristles are engineered for heavy brushing on rough textures, making it perfect for pool startups, weekly maintenance, or restoring neglected surfaces. They’re also UV- and chemical-resistant, so they won’t soften or weaken with exposure to sunlight or chlorine.
Universal Fit for Standard Pool Poles
The Animal 22" Heavy-Duty Brush connects easily to any standard 1.25-inch telescopic pool pole using a snap-lock connector. It’s compatible with all major professional-grade poles, including Animal Pro Lock, Stinger, and Oreq.
This universal compatibility ensures a secure fit and stable performance while brushing walls, floors, and steps—no wobble, no hassle.
Ideal for Large Pools & Rough Finishes
This brush is the go-to tool for professional technicians and pool owners with plaster, concrete, or gunite surfaces. Its rigid frame and wide cleaning area make it ideal for:
-
Large residential or commercial pools
-
Rough or textured finishes
-
Post-plaster startups
-
Deep or hard-to-reach surfaces
If your pool requires serious brushing power, this brush handles it with professional-grade strength.
Ergonomic Design for Easier Brushing
Even with its wide frame, the Animal 22" Plaster Brush remains balanced and easy to maneuver. Its streamlined design creates less drag, while the angled handle provides natural wrist alignment—reducing strain during extended brushing.
It’s engineered to perform heavy cleaning with minimal fatigue, making it perfect for technicians brushing multiple pools each day.
Built to Withstand Harsh Pool Environments
The combination of anodized aluminum, heavy-duty nylon bristles, and UV-stabilized components ensures maximum durability. This brush resists:
-
Corrosion from chlorine or saltwater
-
Cracking from UV exposure
-
Warping under pressure
-
Chemical wear from pool sanitizers and acids
That means you can count on it season after season, even under the harshest cleaning conditions.
