4.5 Battery Run Time during Winter
During winter months, the battery may not get a full charge because the sunlight
is not as strong as during summer. Therefore, you should expect Betta to have a
shorter run time than in the summer. Even in a sunny winter climate like CA, FL, and
AZ, you will not get as fast charge as in the summer, and a full charge will need a
longer period.
5.Cleaning and Storage
Empty Collection Basket and Cleaning
Be sure to watch your steps and maintain your balance when working by
the pool side.
Clean the debris collection basket every 2-3 days to keep Betta running at high efficiency.
1) Use the remote or waiting until Betta is close to the shallow end of the pool
where you can have safe access to Betta.
2) Keep it flat when you lift it up by using two hands – one on the front handle
and the other on the lift grip at the rear end to avoid debris getting out of the
basket. Leave Betta on a flat surface to rest the unit.
3) Slide power switch off.
4) Unlock the cover lock. Lift the basket handle up to remove the basket out of
the unit and empty the debris.
5) Rinse the basket out with water hose until it’s completely clean.
6) Put the basket back in the unit, secure the cover lock, and turn power on.
7) While cleaning the basket, you may also clean the solar panel. You may see
some white residues on the solar panel which are chemicals and minerals
from pool water. Wash the residues out using water hose and wipe clean with
soft dry cloth. Do NOT use pressure washer to clean or any tools to scrape
or brush the panel to avoid damages.
Winter and Long-Term Storage
If you are closing your pool for the winter, please remove Betta from the pool. Rinse Betta off
