Chihiros Pipes Brush

Filter hoses grow a biofilm lining that quietly steals flow — every planted-tank keeper knows the brown ring at the hose ends. These flexible steel-shaft brushes are built to fix exactly that: rigid enough to push all the way through a hose run, flexible enough to follow its bends, with bristles that strip algae and deposits in one or two passes.

Type: Single head · 60 cm

In detail

Stiff flexible-shaft brushes that push right through filter hoses and scrub the algae out.

Push through, don’t fish through

The shafts hold their stiffness, so you drive the brush through the hose like a drain snake instead of dragging string-and-hope. The 60 cm single-head handles glassware connections and short runs; the 155 cm twin-head, with a brush at each end, clears full intake or return lines in one go.

Frequently asked questions

Which brush length should I get?

The 60 cm single-head suits glassware connections and short runs; the 155 cm twin-head, with a brush at each end, pushes through full intake or return lines in one pass.

Can I use it on lily pipes or glassware?

No — the stiff bristles that strip hose algae can scratch glass. Keep it to hoses and use a soft glassware brush for lily pipes.
