UNS Twin Brush
Product Overview
Nothing ruins the crisp aesthetic of an aquascape faster than dark, brown algae gunk in your pristine glass lily pipes and clear canister filter tubing. Crafted with a flexible, rust-resistant 304 stainless steel spring cable and dual-ended soft bristle heads, this essential aquarium filter pipe cleaning brush snakes through tight curves to scrub away stubborn biofilm and debris without scratching your delicate glass or acrylic pipes. To use, simply insert the desired brush and use both ends to clean glass or acrylic filtration pipes and tubing.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Ended Brush Heads: Features two distinct brush diameters on opposite ends, allowing you to tackle different pipes and tough hose junctions with a single tool.
- Flexible 304 Stainless Steel Cable: Kink-resistant spring wire effortlessly bends around sharp lily pipe curves, intake strainers, and long canister hose bends.
- Safe Soft-Bristle Scrubbing: High-density nylon bristles strip away stubborn algae and sludge without scratching delicate, clear acrylic or glass filter pipes.
- Available in Two Lengths: Choose between the compact 60cm (23.6") model for standard pipe runs or the extended 150cm (59.0") model for long canister filter plumbing.
Care & Maintenance Instructions
- Rinse the brush heads thoroughly under warm tap water immediately after scrubbing gunk from your filter lines.
- Wipe the stainless steel cable completely dry with a towel before coiling and storing to prevent mineral buildup and ensure rust-free longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which size UNS Twin Brush should I choose (60cm vs. 150cm)?
The 60cm (23.6") version is ideal for quick maintenance on individual glass or acrylic lily pipes, surface skimmers, and short outflow runs. The 150cm (59.0") version is recommended if you need to push a brush all the way through long canister filter hoses.
2. Will this spring brush scratch my clear glass or acrylic lily pipes?
No. The bristles are specifically chosen to be tough on algae while remaining gentle on transparent surfaces. To ensure smooth sliding, always wet the inside of the pipe or tubing with water before pushing the brush through.
3. How often should I clean my filter tubing and lily pipes?
We recommend scrubbing your pipes every 2 to 4 weeks during routine water changes. Cleaning buildup out of your lines prevents flow restriction, keeps your canister filter running at peak output, and preserves that ultra-clean, invisible aquascape aesthetic.
