Ok, I know most everyone has the issue of having to constantly replace the tail scrubber on your pool cleaner sweeper hose. I’ve had terrible luck with the cheap ones on Amazon. Does anyone have a recommendation of a scrubber that will last more than a week or two? I came across a site Swimming Pool Maintenance | Swimming Pool Learning | United States and they have what’s called the Pool ‘N Brush tail scrubber. Has anyone had experience with this particular product or website? Is there a better solution or better made scrubber? Thanks
 
I tried the cheap tail scrubbers and found the foam was too soft and they did not last long.

I buy genuine Polaris tail scrubbers from my local Pool Store for $5 each and find they last about 3 months.

A search found this eBay seller who sells 3 packs for under $15...

 
Thanks. If the pool store ones last 3 months it might be worth it. Cheaper than having to buy a new hose for sure when you find it has been rubbed down and flat on one side! It's a few days on the cheap ones then turn the scrubber to get a few more from it.

Yesh, I do rotate the scrubber to even out the wear when I see a side getting flat. It extends the line of the scrubber. By the time I replace it there is very little left.

If you do not keep the foam tail intact then the round tail weights get rubbed flat.

Try the Swasher on Amazon. Get the complete sweep tail and don't look back. Your hose is probably ready to replace and it is difficult to install just the $21.00 end. The entire tail is only $40.00. Amazon.
Mine's now 6 years old, still going strong and it WILL NOT spray the windows
