  Randy RiosAug 10, 2025
  If your Betta Lighting Equipment isn't responding to the remote, there are a few potential reasons. First, check the remote's batteries and replace them if the remote's light doesn't illuminate when a button is pressed. Second, the remote might not be paired with the Betta; try pairing it again. Finally, the Betta may be in Sleep Mode due to low battery. If so, wait for sunlight to become available, which will allow the unit to exit Sleep Mode and become controllable by remote.

Why is my Betta Lighting Equipment not running at night?

  If your Betta Lighting Equipment isn't running at night, it's likely in Sleep Mode. The status lights will be off, indicating a very low or completely discharged battery. Leave the unit in the pool. After sunrise, it will start running in intervals to find sunlight for recharging. You can also manually place it in direct sunlight to speed up the charging process.

  If your Betta Lighting Equipment runs only for a short time even with sufficient sunlight, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check the solar panel for any residues and clean it. Second, ensure that the propellers and impeller are turning freely and are not obstructed.

  If your Betta Lighting Equipment is moving in circles, it's likely that one or both propellers are trapped, causing it to run unbalanced. Check the propellers and impeller for any obstructions like dirt, string, or hair.

  There are several reasons why your Betta Lighting Equipment might not be running during the day. * **Scenario 1:** The unit could be in Intermittent Mode with low battery (status lights flashing red). In this case, leave it in the pool, and it will run in intervals to find sunlight to recharge. * **Scenario 2:** The unit might be in Sleep Mode (status lights off) due to a very low or completely discharged battery. Try placing it in direct sunlight to charge. * **Scenario 3:** The unit could be in Strand Mode (status lights flashing red and green) because it's stuck. Be patient and wait for a few minutes. The unit will try restarting every 20 minutes. Also, ensure the basket is in place and the cover lock is secured. Check the propellers and impeller for any obstructions like dirt, s...

The Betta 2 Smart Pool Skimmer is an autonomous, solar-powered device designed to clean the surface of swimming pools. It operates as a self-driving pool surface cleaner and skimmer, collecting floating debris into a removable collection basket. The unit is powered entirely by a high-capacity solar panel that charges an internal battery, allowing it to run on 100% solar energy without the need for AC/DC/USB charging ports.

Function Description:

The Betta 2 is designed to continuously skim the pool surface, removing leaves, insects, and other floating debris. It utilizes a control system with various sensors, including a Gyro scope, to navigate and maneuver on the pool surface. The unit can operate in two modes: Auto Mode and Remote Control Mode. In Auto Mode, it is fully self-driving, using its sensors to guide itself and manage operations and charging. In Remote Control Mode, users can manually control its movement and travel path using an included remote control. The remote allows for directional control (forward, stop, left, right, back) and can be used to direct the skimmer to specific areas of the pool. If the remote is not operated for 2 minutes, the unit automatically reverts to Auto Mode.

Important Safety Instructions:

Do NOT swim while Betta is working in the pool. Remove it and keep it in a cool, shaded place when the pool is in use.
It is NOT a toy and should be kept away from children.
Maintain balance and watch your steps when working by the poolside.
Do not use Betta while other pool cleaning devices are in the pool.
During swimming season, keep Betta in the pool unless it's in use or needs cleaning/service.
Do NOT leave Betta in a hot and dry spot out of the pool unattended to prevent severe damage.
Do NOT wash Betta using a pressure washer, as it can cause damage.

Components:

The Betta 2 consists of several key components:

Cover Lock (1): Secures the cover.
Distance Measure Sensor (2): Used for navigation and obstacle detection.
LED Status Indicator (3): Provides visual feedback on the unit's operational status.
Guide Wheel (4): Assists in movement and navigation.
Propeller (5): Provides propulsion for movement.
Anti-stranding Bar (6): Adjustable bars designed to prevent the unit from getting stuck on shallow stairs or other pool structures.
Solar Panel (7): The primary power source, charging the internal battery.
Power Switch (8): Turns the unit on and off.
Cover (9): Protects internal components.
Debris Collection Basket (10): Removable basket for collecting debris.
Debris Intake Impeller (11): Draws water and debris into the collection basket.
Handle (12): For lifting and handling the unit.

Usage Features:

First-time Use: To start, slide the power switch to the "ON" position. The LED indicators will flash, and the propellers and impeller will begin running. Place the unit in the pool, and it will start moving and cleaning.
Solar Charging: The unit ONLY charges when the power switch is ON and there is sunlight.
Remote Control: The included remote control is pre-paired at the factory. If it needs re-pairing (e.g., if it doesn't work or has been replaced), turn the unit OFF, then ON, and press any button on the remote within 5 seconds.
LED Light Status Indicator:
- Standard Mode (Green flashing lights): Sufficient power, unit running normally.
- Intermittent Mode (Red flashing lights): Low battery, unit running at irregular intervals to find sunlight for recharging.
- Sleep Mode (All lights off): Very low or completely discharged battery.
- Remote Mode (Steady Green lights): Unit is being manually controlled.
- Strand Mode (Red and Green flashing lights): Propellers or impeller are stuck by obstacles or cannot run freely. The unit will stop and attempt to restart every 20 minutes.
Anti-stranding Bars: These bars can be adjusted in two height positions to prevent the skimmer from getting stuck on shallow pool structures. To deploy, press the upper button on the bar housing and pull down. To retract, press the lower button and push up. Adjust in pairs (front and/or rear) to maintain balance.
Winter Operation: During winter months, expect shorter run times due to less intense sunlight and slower charging.

Maintenance Features:

Collection Basket Cleaning: Clean the debris collection basket every 2-3 days for optimal efficiency.
1. Use the remote or wait for Betta to be in the shallow end for safe access.
2. Lift the unit flat with two hands (front handle and rear lift grip) to prevent debris spillage. Place it on a flat surface.
3. Slide the power switch OFF.
4. Unlock the cover lock.
5. Lift the basket handle to remove the basket and empty debris.
6. Rinse the basket with a water hose until clean.
7. Return the basket to the unit, secure the cover lock, and turn power ON.
Solar Panel Cleaning: While cleaning the basket, clean the solar panel. White residues (chemicals, minerals) from pool water can be washed off with a water hose and wiped with a soft dry cloth. Do NOT use a pressure washer or any tools to scrape or brush the panel to avoid damage.
Winter and Long-Term Storage: If closing the pool for winter, remove Betta, rinse it with hose water, let it dry completely, and store it indoors at room temperature in a dry place away from high heat. Before the next season's use, inspect all parts for signs of trouble.
