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.
Where did you find the conversion kit for sale? I bought the whole unit at our local Leslie's, but they didn't know anything about the conversion kit. It really does work, and I would like to add the kit to my oversized brush.Originally Posted by nikonsal

So who has them online? I can't find one locally and they aren't on ebay, yet...
19.99 on Leslie's website . . .
I actually went ahead and bought one at a local Leslie's store to save on the shipping cost, they are 19.99 in store, same as their website.

The conversion kit is available direct from the company. You can also take the tail off of the brush that it came with and put it on your oversized brush as long as the holes line up.
