Review: Small Brush, Big Results – This Thing Eats Algae for Breakfast - Small Brush, Big Results – This Thing Eats Algae for Breakfast I picked this up specifically for detail work in my pool—corners, steps, tight spots where a standard brush just doesn’t cut it—and it ended up being way more effective than I expected. The first thing you notice is how aggressive the stainless steel bristles are. This is not a gentle brush—and that’s exactly why it works. It cuts through stubborn algae and buildup quickly, especially in areas where softer nylon brushes just glide over the surface. On hard surfaces like gunite or concrete, it’s incredibly effective . The compact 5-inch size is actually a huge advantage. It lets you really focus pressure exactly where you need it—edges, corners, steps, and around fittings. It’s not meant to replace a full-size wall brush, but for targeted cleaning, it’s perfect. Build quality feels solid. The aluminum backing gives it a sturdy feel, and it holds up well under pressure. You can scrub hard without worrying about the head flexing or falling apart. It also attaches easily to a standard pool pole, which makes reaching deeper areas much easier. One thing to be very aware of—this is strictly for hard pool surfaces. Do NOT use it on vinyl or fiberglass unless you want to ruin your liner. This brush is meant to be aggressive, and it will absolutely scratch softer materials. Also, because it’s a smaller head, it’s not efficient for large surface areas. You’ll still want a larger brush for general cleaning and use this as your “problem solver” tool. Bottom line: If you have a concrete/gunite pool and deal with stubborn algae or buildup, this is a must-have. It’s a small, powerful tool that makes a big difference exactly where you need it most.

I had black algae and had to scrub much of it by using the brush with my hand to get enough pre pressure. I purchased the larger wire brush later and use it instead of the nylon brush. My pool is cement with a pebble finish. **Q: can this screw into a painter's extension pole? (or only the kind that screws in as opposed to "clicking in")** A: Its inserted in & secured with round latches into the pole. Its not "screwed" or threaded in. **Q: Can I use this brush on the concrete surface of the pool or is it only for tile?** A: It can be used for either or . **Q: is this safe for gunnite with pebble tec finish?** A: I have a gunnite pool with pebble finish and use a large and small stainless steel bristle brush. I had trouble with black algae and the steel brush Is needed to take care of it. I am not sure what tec means but my pool is a pebble finish. hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Small Brush, Big Results – This Thing Eats Algae for Breakfast *by E***S on May 6, 2026* Small Brush, Big Results – This Thing Eats Algae for Breakfast I picked this up specifically for detail work in my pool—corners, steps, tight spots where a standard brush just doesn’t cut it—and it ended up being way more effective than I expected.
