5" Stainless Steel Algae Brush – Spot Scrubber

OREQ BR1005S is a compact 5-inch spot brush with stainless-steel bristles and a metal handle. Use it only on finishes that permit stainless brushing, including suitable plaster, concrete and gunite surfaces.

This brush is ideal for attacking black algae spots, corners, cracks, steps, and shaded areas where algae anchors itself and resists normal brushing and chemical treatment.

Why a Small Stainless Steel Algae Brush Matters

Algae often starts in tight, protected areas where large brushes can’t apply enough pressure. A smaller stainless brush allows focused force exactly where it’s needed.

Using a 5-inch stainless steel algae brush matters because it helps:

• Break algae free from porous plaster surfaces

• Target localized algae growth

• Use controlled pressure on approved areas

• Improve effectiveness of shock and algaecide treatments

This is a problem-solving brush, not a routine maintenance tool.

How the Oreq BR1005S Works

The BR1005S uses stainless-steel bristles for targeted spot cleaning and has a metal pole-attachment handle. Confirm the approved surface and connection before use.

Stainless-steel bristles are abrasive. Confirm that the finish permits their use, work with controlled pressure and stop if the surface is affected.

When to Use the 5" Stainless Steel Algae Brush

This brush is best used for targeted algae removal, including:

• Black algae spots on plaster pools

• Corners, steps, and coves

• Spot areas on approved plaster or concrete finishes

• Shaded or low-circulation areas

• Pre-treatment brushing before shocking

It is not intended for full-wall or routine brushing.

Surface Compatibility – Important Use Notice

This stainless steel algae brush is ONLY recommended for:

• Plaster pools

• Concrete pools

Do NOT use on:

• Vinyl liners

• Fiberglass pools

• Painted or coated finishes

Stainless steel bristles can permanently damage soft surfaces.

Compact Size for Maximum Control

The compact 5-inch head helps reach smaller areas. Match the brush and pressure to the approved finish; mechanical brushing does not replace water testing or an appropriate treatment plan.

Fits Standard Pool Poles

The Oreq BR1005S is compatible with standard telescopic pool poles, allowing you to apply pressure safely from the deck or shallow areas. Pair it with a rigid pole for best results.

Built for Professional-Grade Use

OREQ identifies stainless-steel bristles and a metal handle. Inspect the brush, attachment and bristles before use and replace damaged parts. Rinse and dry the tool after cleaning.

Best Practices for Algae Removal

Brush only where the finish permits stainless bristles. Test the water and follow the appropriate sanitizer and treatment labels for any chemical care, including application spacing. Do not use a blanket immediate shock-or-algaecide rule.

Rinse the brush thoroughly after use and store it dry to extend bristle life.
