What Pool Brushing Covers

Effective pool brushing means more than a quick pass along the walls. Our technicians systematically brush every surface in your pool with appropriate brushes for your pool's material — plaster, vinyl, or fiberglass.

  • Pool walls — top to bottom brushing
  • Pool floor — especially corners and low-flow areas
  • Steps, benches, and ledges
  • Waterline tile scrubbing
  • Behind ladders and fixtures
  • Algae spot treatment and targeted brushing

Why Brushing Prevents Algae in Florida Pools

Algae doesn't just appear in the water — it starts by anchoring to pool surfaces. In Florida's warm, humid climate, algae spores are constantly present in the air and water. Brushing dislodges these spores before they can root into your pool's plaster or tile, making them easy to remove via filtration and chemical treatment. Pools that are brushed weekly have significantly fewer algae problems than those that aren't.

Waterline Cleaning: Florida's Calcium and Stain Challenge

Brevard County's hard water, combined with sunscreen, body oils, and mineral deposits, creates a stubborn ring at your pool's waterline. Left untreated, this buildup etches into tile and plaster, becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to remove. Our technicians scrub the waterline during every visit, keeping tile clean and preventing long-term staining and calcium scale.

Brushing Different Pool Surface Types

Different pool surfaces require different brushes and techniques. Plaster pools need stiff nylon or stainless steel brushes to break up deposits. Vinyl liner pools require gentle brushes to avoid tearing. Fiberglass pools need soft brushes to protect the gel coat finish. Our technicians know exactly which tools and techniques to use for your pool type, protecting your surfaces while cleaning them thoroughly.
