5-Inch Stainless Steel Pool Algae Brush for Corners & Steps

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.

Works great and hasn’t rusted at all

This wire brush removed the black algea. Nothing else touched it. It worked.

It's a sturdy metal brush that brushes algae quickly

My husband used this on our deck pre prepping prior to staining. He said it worked great and will be using every spring on deck.

Good

This thing gets the job done on tough green algae blooms on my pool plaster. Tough enough to scrape the algae, but soft enough not to damage the plaster pebble finish. The only inconvenience is the angle of the attachment. It would be nice if it had a slight bend upward.

Tried other products but this one did the trick. Size and weight made cleaning algae on the sides of the pool very manageable

Awesome brush if you need something stiff and a steel brush at it. Large brushing surface area. Great buy!

Perfect small brush
