Steel Wire Brush vs. Nylon Brush

When first starting out it's important to know what the best use and function of your tools are going to be. One of the most important tools you will have are your pool brushes. They come in different lengths and configurations. One critical difference is the steel wire vs. nylon brush. Steel brushes should be used gently and minimally. Mainly the are used to brush black algae spots and not the whole pool. If you do use them on black algae in one pool, then don't re-use them in a clean pool somewhere else. Keep that brush for only use in black algae pools. As for the Nylon brushes, focus on buying the ones with aluminum on the backside for strength. We also like the ones that curve at the ends. These are easier to get into the corners of the pools.
