FAQ

With Auto Start, the Skimmer will start working automatically as soon as the filter tray is fully inserted without needing to turn the skimmer on through the app. To activate Auto Start, slide the bar to the right. We recommend turning off the Auto Start before placing the skimmer into off-season storage.

There are three different Speed options to choose from: Low, High, or Auto (default setting).

Low - Slow movement night and day

High - Fast movement night and day

Auto - Skimmi moves slowly at night to preserve energy and moves fast during the day

Water Edge Cleaning creates a microcurrent that pulls the debris from the edge to clean the perimeter of the pool. This setting has five different options to choose from:

OFF - Doesn't create a microcurrent to pull the debris from the edge

Eco (Default Setting) - The Skimmer will clean every 3rd wall that it reaches. (This setting is the most eco-friendly because it reduces battery consumption)

Standard - The Skimmer will clean every wall it encounters

Intense - The Skimmer will clean multiple sections of the waterline when encountering the edge of the pool

Perimeter - The Skimmer will clean only the waterline

If the water isn't clear, it affects the sensors' ability to accurately detect obstacles. Cloudy water can cause Skimmi to turn frequently and in circles. Set to 'Cloudy' or 'Murky' if the water is murky so that the sensors won't get confused.

You can set the Skimmi to have accent lighting when it works at night. The options are Still, Flashing, Detects which turns it on when it meets an object/wall, or Off.

Turn this setting off if you don't want the robot to remove debris near the wall. Debris tends to stick to the waterline, so the robot creates a micro-current to pull the debris away from the wall and into the filter.

Off - If there aren't any obstacles in the pool

Avoid Cable & Hose - If there is a corded robot cleaner in the pool cleaning simultaneously or for an infinity pool

Leaves (Leaf) Search - If there are a lot of leaves in the pool

Choose your response distance to the edge of the pool so that Skimmi either doesn’t turn too far from the edge or bump into it frequently.

This is set on Standard by default for regular, clear pools. If changed to Natural, it will protect plants and other elements on the pond’s edge. It won't clean the water’s edge in Natural mode.

Smart Solar Recharge is on by default. It causes the skimmer to actively seek out sunny areas to charge when the skimmer pauses. We recommend leaving it on, especially if you have shady areas, as it improves battery charging.

The robot is programmed to do various actions to try and remove an object stuck in its wheels. If it is unsuccessful, it stops and gives an error alert so that you can remove the object manually. It is on Auto by default.

If there are strong winds or currents, or the filter tray is full and heavy, Skimmi may have a difficult time navigating. Setting “Wheels Unblock” to “Forced” will use more battery power to increase motor strength.

When Alert Sound is enabled, the Skimmi will beep if it detects a dangerous temperature or if any of the wheels are blocked.
