FAQs
What is the best type of brush to use for scrubbing pool walls?
Angled brushes specifically designed for pool walls work the best. The angled design allows you to apply pressure directly onto the wall's surface for maximum scrubbing power. Stiff polypropylene or nylon bristles are ideal to loosen stuck-on grime and debris without damaging the plaster or tiles. A long handle, at least 4-5 feet, gives you good reach from the pool deck without needing to enter the water. Some quality angled pool wall brushes also feature a combo brush/scraper head to tackle stubborn stains.
Should I use a scrub brush or a scrubber pad?
For routine scrubbing to remove algae and debris buildup, a sturdy angled scrub brush is preferred. The bristles can penetrate into porous plaster surfaces. For occasional deep cleaning or dealing with stubborn stains, you may want to use a handheld scrub pad along with the brush. Choose non-abrasive scrub pads made specifically for pool walls to avoid damaging the plaster. Avoid using metal brushes or hard-bristled street brooms which can leave scratches.
How often should I scrub my pool walls?
To prevent stubborn stains from building up and keep your pool walls looking clean, aim to thoroughly scrub the waterline and below once a week. Pay extra attention to areas where oils, lotions and debris tend to cling such as the steps and bench seating. Algae also tends to first take hold in forgotten wall corners so regularly scrubbing all wall surfaces is key. Be sure to scrub walls after administering any pool chemicals or clarifiers as well.
What is the easiest way to scrub my pool walls?
Using a high-quality angled pool brush with an extendable aluminum pole is by far the easiest way for scrubbing walls. The angled design provides superior scrubbing power while the long pole eliminates the need to crouch or strain. Slip-resistant rubber grips on the pole handle also make scrubbing easier. Choose a sturdy brush with firm polypropylene bristles to take on rough pool plaster without falling apart prematurely.
Why does my pool need scrubbing so often?
Frequent scrubbing helps prevent a variety of pool issues down the line. Removing debris, oils and minerals that cling to surfaces prevents stains from setting and accumulations that can harbor algae and bacteria. It also enhances chemical distribution for balanced water. Plus, physically stirring up the water helps keep the filtration system running at peak performance. Investing 5-10 minutes per week into scrubbing goes a long way towards easier overall maintenance.
