Is it safe to use on a Pebble Tec finished pool? As I'm worried it might damage it?

I don't know what you mean by Pebble Tec but I have an in ground pool that I tried this in for the last couple of years and it wouldn't stay upright or it went too far up on the sides and made this amazingly offensive noise, you can adjust it but you sure had to do it a lot and it didn't last like it should have so I just bought a barracuda and it seems to be doing better than this did. I wasn't very happy with this product overall. I almost forgot, it also was sensitive on it's little 'feet' and you worrying the finish may affect it is a viable concern.

I am not sure about vinyl pool liner. I think I have read on previous reviews that the sand shark works well on pebble tec. That's what I have. Sorry I do not know

It may be better to wait until another time of the year to see if hard plastic pools come out. I would be concerned the plastic would be damaged easily with shovels and digging.

Don't know what pebble tek means but works great on my pool with standard marconite( not sure exact term but the standard)

Definitely not! It's just a plastic housing with a couple screws holding it together. If you were to put it under a plastic outlet cover or something, it might be fine near the pool. But it wouldn't survive immersion or splashing by any means.

I do.. over time it "deposits" light blue residue on the concrete/plaster/gunnite (which I personally like) - this makes the pool walls very resistant to any growth.. just be careful with chlorine.. if you dump chlorine in - the blue buildup will make a dark stain (had to use acid to remove) - you have to dilute the chlorine and add to skimmer. ( with this system you can get by with much less chlorine) - using just a chlorine floater with tablets seems to work well.

I am not sure. But to let you know, I have the XL that I use for my pebble tec pool.hope that helps.

I have a pebble Tec finish and it works well. It hasn't damaged the surface either, so I would say yes

I wouldn't suggest using them both together. Personally I would use the Nature 2 alone. They both dissolve metals into the water the nature2 has copper/silver/zinc I believe the floatron is just a copper bar but I'm not real familiar with them. I do know you don't have any staining issues with Nature2 although you still need chlorine with it and generally a little higher than what they recommend it does a great job of lowering the chlorine use and keeping the pool clear and algae free.

Just had a wee play on a couple of beach pebbles which were pretty hard and not a problem. Keep speed down a little and keep dipping rock into water to keep tool cool as I believe over heating burrs can lead to loss of bond between diamond and burr. Rips into glass and shell with no problem. Note I used the larger diameter burr that was already in tool. Good luck from New Zealand

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.

I am using it right now. I am using a brush to get everything loose and also using shock to get it started. Keep an eye on your generator to make sure that there is plenty of salt in your pool.

Make sure the rail is installed back from the side of the pool so the bottom of the rail does not touch the level of water you desire. It will rust! I do like it though. It has been very helpful to me because of my bad knees. Measurements are as quoted by another customer!

I don't know. I removed it from my pool. It seemed to do nothing and my new pool man told me to remove it.

Foam insulation is fine. We have used it on pex with no issues, but you need constant water in pipe. (Do not use on drain lines it will melt the plastic)

This foam was glued on and used to both help insulate and give a softer touch to a 27 foot circular pool sides. The liner went over it so no water really would affect the foam. I have a piece left over I will see if water soaks through it tomorrow and respond.

Yes, I have had mine outside for several months on uncovered doors of a pool enclosure. So far so good. Attach the base. Add the top and then silicone all around the outside. Check connection to magnet. Don't worry about waterproofing the magnet side. Check the silicone from time to time and redo when you change the battery.
