pool brushes

If your swimming pool wall cleaner isn’t cutting it, you’re likely making common mistakes. First, using the wrong pool brushes—like a nylon brush on concrete (too soft) or steel on vinyl (scratches galore)—renders scrubbing useless. For concrete, stainless steel pool brushes tear through algae; for vinyl or fiberglass, nylon or hybrid brushes are gentler. Timing matters: shock the pool first, wait 24 hours, then scrub—otherwise, you’re just smearing dead algae. Don’t ignore the waterline’s greasy ring (sunscreen and oils); a magic eraser or weighted pool wall cleaner helps. Automatic cleaners aren’t magic—they miss corners and walls, so manual touch-ups are key. Scrub bottom-up to prevent debris from resettling, and balance water chemistry (pH 7.4–7.6) so chlorine actually works. Winter neglect? Drop a slow-dissolving swimming pool wall cleaner tablet to prevent algae parties. If your cleaner’s older than your dog and sounds like a dying appliance, upgrade. Remember: the right tools (pool brushes for your surface), proper order (shock → scrub → vacuum), and occasional manual work keep walls spotless—no science experiments needed.
