Chihiros Pipes Brush

Chihiros Pipes Brush

Chihiros Pipes Brush is a filter hose cleaning brush designed to remove algae and other deposits from the inside of the hoses on planted aquariums. It suits aquarists who want to keep their filter plumbing clean without taking the hoses apart piece by piece.

Key Benefits

• Cleans the inside of filter hoses, where algae and other deposits collect over time.
• Strong enough to be pushed right through the hose, which makes cleaning easier.
• Helps keep hose interiors looking tidy. The build-up is perfectly natural but not pretty.
• Offered in a one-head and a two-head type to suit different cleaning jobs.

How to Use

• Insert the brush into the filter hose and push it through the hose to dislodge algae and other deposits from the inner walls.
• Repeat as part of your regular filter hose maintenance. Planted aquarium hoses need this upkeep, as deposits become visible inside them with time.

Important: Use these brushes on hoses only. Cleaning glassware with them can cause damage.

Suitable For

• Filter hoses on planted aquariums.
• Routine hose maintenance where algae and deposits have built up on the inside.

Available Sizes

Available as a pipe brush with one head (length: 60 cm) and a pipe brush with two heads (length: 155 cm).
