is this safe to use on pools with liners?

It is safe for pool liners; however, my Dolphin lasted two years before it needed a motor ($400 repair) that did not include the 4 bearings it also needed, I junked it.

Absolutely I have a liner and it's completely safe and does a great job. Sometimes the unit gets stuck on the side wall amd floor but for the price it works perfect

It is all plastic and light weight. If you use it to scoop out leaves on the water surface it is fine. If you want to scoop out leaves from the bottom of a pool with a liner I think it would be safe if you are gentle and don't have any seams or ridges on the bottom. You could also sand the edges with black wet/dry #200 grit+ sandpaper to keep it smooth. I use it on and in ground pool and it does not mark the bottom, which is white plaster.

Not needed in northern climates not sure about warmer areas. I would also be concerned that a floater that can't move in still water for a long period would allow the chlorine to bleach/stain the liner directly below it.

Definitely do not use on vinyl liner! This is ok for Gunite or concrete/cement pools.The bristles will put holes in a vinyl liner. Use a nylon bristle brush for vinyl liners.

ask the manufacture. I only used it around my pool on the travatine and so far so good.

We're in the Northeast and have taken the pool down for three years now. I can say that we haven't had any issues with holes in the liner. Taking it down is something of a hassle since you need to ensure it is as dry as you can get it and it will invariably be muddy. We've found that a wet/dry vac helps tremendously with cleaning much of that off.

Yes it is safe. However, before you use it on your phone, test it by putting a slip of paper in it. Leave it at the bottom of the pool for about 1 minute. If it comes out dry, it's safe to use on your phone.

I used it in a slightly larger inflatable pool and it worked well. Still had to add a little chemicals on and off

I have been using this product for years. Never had an issue. I keep my pool clean and the chemicals up, though. I also have a pool that has self cleaning jets that really make the water circulate well. Hope this helps.

Works great in a inground vinyl liner pool, cleans great and climbs up the walls to the waterline

I don't think it will damage anything, just its filter function will be blocked. This PoolSkim is the best pool accessory I've used.

This pressure washer is strong enough to strip off paint and damage a pool liner. Thou would have to use the cleaner distribution tip to be safe. But that greatly reduces the cleaning ability of the unit. If I were you I would just use a pump sprayer to put down cleaning solution and wash off with a garden hose.

I have had no problems with it damaging a liner. It actually is slightly abrasive enough to remove some staining and algae while safe enough not to tear the lining.

The pool I have is an above ground with hard sides. It did not do any damage or snag the liner of the pool. The piece of equipment has rounded edges and wheels that help it glide around the sides or the pool with ease.

I have a spray in liner and it was not an issue. I don't see it being an issue with a plastic liner either

I am sure it is safe. However, I, after each time getting it empty I soak it in the sink with water and "Comet", and I hand-scrub it. Of course I use the liners for inside which I also buy on line at Amazon.

Yes. It does a good job. I have also heard from our pool maintenance person that it is the easiest on the liner (as compared to other brands).
