What chlorine level is it safe to use pool vacuum?

Hello everyone! So we are SLAMING our pool right now, but are afraid to put our pool vacuum in because of the high chlorine levels. What FC level is the threshold before it causes damage to the pool vacuum?

Thanks!

I used my vacuum last time I SLAMed my pool. If you can swim up to and at shock level all your equipment will be fine.

Submerging your equipment in SLAM value (or more) FC 24/7/365 is likely not good for the equipment.

Using your robot 4 hours daily at those same levels I am sure would be totally harmless.

So, I am not a fan of leaving the equipment in the pool ALL the time is a good idea (although I think some do)
