Automatic Pool Cleaners Safe for Vinyl Liners?

I have a newer liner that I put in in fall of 2016. My previous liner was an unknown age and also unknown how the prior homeowner managed chemistry.

I have an original Aquabot, but it destroyed the pattern on my previous liner, so I haven't used in in 5-years, just been manually vacuuming.

Question: Are there are automatic vacuums (suction or self powered) that are safe for vinyl liners and won't get hung up around the main drain in in corners and rub off the pattern on our liner?

or should I stick with manual vacuuming?

I have a Salt pool and follow TFP recommendations for water chemistry with the only modification being the use of Natural Chemistry products to control phosphates.

TIA
 
Call Margaret up at Marina Pool and Spa in Colorado and she'll help you figure out which is best for your pool.

The Maytronics line Active 20 says its okay for vinyl, it has two brushes. The Active10/S50 version has only one brush for above ground pools as it doesn't climb walIs believe???

I love my Pentair Warrior SE (Active 20) and Margaret sells them tax free and shipping free. Can't beat that!
