Pool Brushes & Brooms
How to choose pool brushes & brooms
Sub-type and reach
Choose between a pole mounted brush (Pool & Spa) and a handheld pad (Home & Garden). Pole types reach deep ends but need storage length.
Build material
Material matters. Aluminium with nylon suits most walls, plastic is for light touch ups, stainless steel tackles scale but weighs more.
Existing kit
If you run an automatic cleaner, look at replacement brushes (Pool & Spa Accessories) sized for that machine rather than a universal head.
Appearance
Colour runs from blue to green to white or silver, match it to your existing kit if that matters to you.
Target surface
Surface type decides bristle choice. Non-scratch pads suit weekly waterline wiping, while steel bristles risk scratches on gentle surfaces.
What's good
- A wide aluminium pool brush (Pool & Spa type) covers large walls faster than a small hand scrubber, good for big weekly cleans.
- Handheld non-scratch brushes (Home & Garden sub-type) also work on bathroom tiles and kitchen sinks, so one tool leaves the pool area too.
- Replacement cleaner brushes (Pool & Spa Accessories) let you refit a robot or suction cleaner instead of replacing the whole unit, cutting waste.
- Stainless steel bristled heads (material: stainless steel/metal) shift tough tile scale that nylon leaves behind, useful for neglected grout.
Things to watch
- Aluminium backed brushes of 18 inch size need a separate pole (not included), so they clutter the shed if you lack a wall rack.
- Plastic wall brush heads are light but flex on stubborn algae, wrong for heavy scrubbing jobs.
- Hand scrub brushes with replaceable pads suit tight corners yet cover little area, making full pool cleans slow on large walls.
- Stainless steel parts resist rust but add heft, tiring the arms during long sessions.
Care & maintenance
Rinse after use
Rinse nylon and aluminium brushes in clean water after each use to halt chlorine buildup.
Shade storage
Keep plastic backed heads shaded, as sun makes the back brittle over a season.
Dry metal parts
Wipe stainless steel ferrules dry to avoid tea staining from pool chemicals.
