The mediator of a clean and healthy pool consists not only of a robot pool cleaner running in the water or various chemicals added to it. Brushing the pool before it is one of the necessary steps to ensure you get the best results when shocking the pool. A high-performance pool robotic pool cleaner like the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro or Beatbot iSkim Ultra can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, but brushing the pool pasta shocking helps chlorine make it into all the crevices, getting rid of hidden contaminants.
Why You Need To Brush Your Pool Before Shocking
The process of shocking your pool involves introducing a high dose of chlorine or other chemicals, which kills bacteria, algae, and other contaminants. Without brushing the pool first, debris and biofilm can act as a barrier, preventing the shock from working as it should.
✅ Loosens Dirt and Debris
Brushing removes dirt, algae, and biofilm film from the walls and floors of the pool.
This will allow a pool vacuum robot, such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro, to collect the loosened debris easily.
✅ Prevents Algae Growth
Algae spores tend to stick to pool surfaces; shaded areas are especially prone to this.
Brushing before shocking helps the chemicals penetrate the algae better and minimizes the risk of getting algae back.
✅ Enhance Chemical Penetration
Organic material on the pool surface can react with chlorine, reducing its efficacy.
Brushing allows the chlorine to be distributed evenly through the pool for proper sanitation.
How To Brush a Swimming Pool Correctly Before Shocking
Here are the steps to take to maximize the results of shock:
Usher Out the Robot Pool Cleaner
Turn off any automatic cleaning systems before you begin brushing.
Use the Right Pool Brush
Nylon brushes – Great for vinyl and fiberglass pools.
Stainless steel brushes – Ideal for concrete or plaster pools.
Brush Walls and Corners
One is to start from the top down to the floor.
Give extra attention to shaded areas and steps, as well as around ladders, which are common places for algae to grow.
Brush the Floor
Sweep the entire pool floor with a steady back-and-forth motion.
Afterward, a swimming pool robot cleaner like the Beatbot iSkim Ultra can help clear out any loose debris.
Clean the Waterline
Brush the waterline to remove oils, calcium deposits, and algae.
Once the debris has been loosened, a wall-climbing pool cleaner will help you tackle this task.
How To Shock Your Pool After You Brush
Do not shock the pool for at least 30 minutes after brushing. But you suspend all this so the debris inside can settle and the shock can be evenly distributed.
🕒 Best Time to Shock
Do it in the evening or nighttime to reduce chlorine loss via sunlight.
Shocking should be followed by at least 8 hours of running the pump and/or filtration system.
Using a Robot Pool Cleaner, the Benefits of Brushing
A high-quality robot pool cleaner such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro or Beatbot iSkim Ultra significantly improves the results of brushing and using shock:
✅ Efficient Debris Removal – Combats dirt, leaves, and algae released using the scrub brush.
✅ Advanced Navigation – Clean every floor and every wall.
✅ Wall Climbing Capability – A pool cleaner that climbs walls and reaches tight spots.
✅ Fine filtration — Filters out tiny debris and particles.
✅ Smart Cleaning Cycles – Ensures maximum cleaning efficiency.
Common Pool Cleaning Problems and Their Solutions
Some pool problems can stick around even when brushing and shocking are routine:
Algae Growth
👉 If algae continue returning, start testing the pH and chlorine regularly.
👉 You have algae spores from the bottom of the pool with a Maytronics or Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro.
Cloudy Water
👉 Next, brush and shock the pool, running the filter nonstop until the water clears.
👉 A robotic pool vacuum will take care of smaller debris.
Staining
👉 Apply a stain remover or an acid wash if the stains are nasty.
👉 How to acid wash a pool to remove deep stains.
Symptoms 1: Poor Suction from the Pool Cleaner
👉 Empty the filter, skimmer, and pump of debris.
👉 If you still have a suction problem, you may need a booster pump to boost pressure.

Pool Maintenance 101: Top Best Practices Pool Maintenance Tips
To maintain your pool in top condition throughout the year:
✔️ Brush the sides of the pool at least weekly.
✔️ After heavy use, heavy rain or algae develop, shock the pool.
✔️ Use the robot pool cleaner for deep cleaning (now and then).
✔️ Maintain the pH and chlorine levels in the water.
✔️ Every week, clean the filter and skimmer basket.
You may take inspiration from existing models when designing a new pool-cleaning device.
