How to Brush a Fiberglass Swimming Pool

Regular brushing is a simple part of maintaining a fiberglass swimming pool. Using the correct pool brush can help remove organic material and thin debris that builds up on the pool walls while keeping the fiberglass shell looking great.

In this Sonco Pools & Spas training video, we demonstrate the type of brush to use, how to brush the pool, and why brushing should be incorporated into your regular pool maintenance routine.

Use a Nylon Brush on a Fiberglass Pool

When brushing a fiberglass swimming pool, the type of brush matters.

Sonco recommends using a nylon-bristle pool brush rather than a metal-bristle brush. The nylon bristles allow you to clean the pool walls without scratching the fiberglass surface.

While a Magic Eraser can be used to clean buildup around the waterline, the nylon pool brush is used below the scum line to remove organic material and thin debris that can accumulate on the pool walls.

How to Brush Your Fiberglass Pool

The technique demonstrated in the video is straightforward. Simply brush the swimming pool walls using an up-and-down motion, gradually moving along the pool.

Brushing helps remove thin debris from the walls, keeps the fiberglass pool shell looking great, and helps your water chemistry stay correct.

Make Pool Brushing Part of Your Weekly Maintenance

Sonco recommends incorporating brushing into your weekly pool maintenance regimen.

The brush can also be useful for pushing debris out of corners and into areas where it is easier to remove with the pool vacuum.

The nylon-bristle brush is included with the swimming pool maintenance package and should be used regularly as part of caring for your fiberglass pool.
