rb,
You're right, the bristles break down after a while on all the plastic brushes. Sunlight/heat and salt/chlorine speed up that process, so storing it out of the sun and rinsing with tap water after use will prolong its life.

Thanks Kurt. I was storing it in the garage, can't say I was rinsing it. I wonder why they make them from hard, stiff plastic like they do?
I've been using the head of one of those handled brushes you can attach to a garden hose, for washing cars. Very soft polymer bristles, and stands up well to the pool. I just wish it was wider, and could easily be attached to my vac pole.
tYep, and those hard plastic bristles hurt like blue blazes when they stick in your hand while you're brushing them off the pump strainer basket.
