Is this brush safe to use on a plaster bottom pool?

The quality of aluminum bristle was/is very poor. Some of the bristles quickly began to rust and break off. I hadn't noticed them on the bottom, so they left stains on the bottom after 1 day. This is/was in my plaster bottom pool. Better buy a better quality brush, right from your local pool supply store, where at least you will have better customer service. The people that sold me the brush on line were rude and unprofessional.

yes, it's safe just don't leave it in the pool between cleanings, I'm only saying this because if the bristles are rusting like from the other comment it's most likely the chlorine is attacking the bristles from extended time in the water

I have installed these brushes in my downspouts. The bristles are stiff and heavy. I think there's a very good chance they will prevent rodents from climbing inside the downspouts.

Yes it can be used for either above ground or inground pools. As long as it's plumbed correctly it doesn't matter.

I have a in-ground fiberglass pool that I use this pool sweep in...I have had it for about 3 months and it works soo much better than the more expensive pool sweep I had... It tends to gravitate to the deep end because it is made for a flat bottom above-ground pool, but that is small consolation considering how much cleaner my pool is now...I would not hesitate to use this in your pool...

I have never tried it but it should be no problem. But if you have a cover on the pool, it really shouldn't need cleaning.

I can't say but it is tough enough for concrete gunnite plaster pools like mine, so it should work fine on a vinyl liner pool.

I haven't tried, but I'd have to say "probably." I get mine wet all over when I rinse it off, and it's never caused any problems. There is no exposed electrical connection on the brush handle.

Definitely do not use on vinyl liner! This is ok for Gunite or concrete/cement pools.The bristles will put holes in a vinyl liner. Use a nylon bristle brush for vinyl liners.

No, nylon, copper, bronzes or brass brushes are softer than the steel you are cleaning. Although I have read that very caustic solvents may do some harm, I have never seen evidence of it. If you use CLP or Hoppes or other common solvents, I can't see any problem.what can harm a bbl. is a steel cleaning rod coming into contact with the chamber at a bad angle. For that reason most people concerned with accuracy use bore guides to center the rods. Even that, with aluminum of coated rods would be a rare damage.

I personally think so.The bristles are very soft so I think if you use very little pressure and move it around slowly you'll be fine.

yes, it works great for small areas. You would not use it to vacuum the entire bottom of a pool.

I am not sure what is meant by "stucco"? Our pool bottom is concrete / gunnite with fiberglass walls and the vacuum has not caused any damage in the 2 plus years it has been in service.

I've used a pool vac in my pebble tek pool for 14 years. I'm just now replacing my pool vac (I've replaced many parts, but now I'm replacing everything). The parts that come in contact with the pool wear out faster than if they were in contact with a plaster pool's surface, but that's to be expected since the pebble tek coating isn't as smooth as plaster. The pool vac keeps the pool very clean.

Yes, I have a vinyl lined pool and it works great. The granules melt very quickly and I never see any residue on the bottom of the pool. I prefer it to any other shock that I have tried and I have tried a lot of others.

No. It rolls onto the cove at the pool bottom, but not up the walls. Mine works very well on the bottom which is where the stuff settles. I brush the walls a couple of times a year, but there really isn't anything there that I can detect.

The Kreepy Krause I have works fine on plaster.If your pool is plastered you should not have any issues with it.

Yes this tool can be used with an above ground pool. However, most above ground pools are round. If that is the case for the one you own, you may have issues getting sand and debris from near the edges of the pool. Using this tool in conjunction with a triangular shaped brush such as this one Blue Devil B5603C See-Thru Vinyl Carded Vacuum, 3-Pound would be more effective. Or just opt for a triangular vacuum head by itself.
