I did not mean to start any kind of panic. I love automatic pool cleaners.

We had a local pool company years back that told their customers to leave the cleaner in the pool at all times. Between the cleaner and the chlorinator they advertised a maintanance free pool. I spent a lot of time under liners finding holes for the next few years.

Use the cleaner to clean the pool and then take it out. My cleaner is not the best trained. I use it when I am doing yard work or floating on an air mattress.

Just use some good judgment and you will be fine.
