Brushing

[avidone1]

My pool is crystal clear with the following numbers being typical
fc = 7-9
cya= 70
ta = 100
ch = 350
ph = 7.6

How often should I brush the sides....also is brushing the bottom required or is the vacuum sufficient?

thanks

Before I got my robot, I brushed the pool every day. Now I brush it... never.

Do you have a salt pool?

The standard is to brush the entire pool once a week, or use a pool cleaner that does the same thing for you. Vacuuming is essentially the same thing, so that counts as long as you are vacuuming/brushing everywhere.

Does a Polaris or similar sufficiently go everywhere to count as brushing?

Yes, a Polaris counts.
