We bought our house with the existing pool about 18 months ago. The previous owner gave precious little information on the pool except for the equipment manuals. All he had was a pole brush and a leaf net at the pool.
So we have never vacuumed our pool in all of the time we have been here. The combination of the skimmer, Polaris 380 cleaner, cartridge filter, and weekly (Ok, biweekly brushing) seems to keep the water clear and the bottom of the pool clear of debris.
Is there anyone out there, except for us, that NEVER vacuums their pool? I'm just wondering since so many of the posts here mention vacuuming as routine sort of thing.
The Polaris, while quirky, seems to grab most of the stuff off of the bottom. In fact, the Polaris even sucks out vagrant pool toys (torpedoes, toy cars, etc) that the boys inadvertently leave in the pool. In fact, we even find a fair amount of sand (from the plaster) when we clean out the net every 2-4 weeks.
