Skimmi Robotic Pool Skimmer | User Instructions
SETTINGS
• Smart Solar Recharge - During pauses in the cleaning intervals, the robot finds direct sunlight
before pausing to charge.
• Wheels Unblock - The robot is programmed to do various actions to try to remove objects if
they get 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, 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.
• Sound Alert - If there is an error or if the wheels are stuck, the robot will beep to notify you
even if you are not using the app.
CLEANING SCHEDULE
We recommend not to set it for long work periods in low-light conditions because it has no way to
recharge itself and this can drain the battery.
In low-direct-sun conditions, we recommend increasing the “Start Delay”. It strengthens the battery
by delaying work after sunset and sunrise. That means that it will work before your morning swim,
but not the whole night, and it will recharge in the morning before it starts working.
There is rarely a need to change the settings. The robot is set for most climates to keep the pool
clean while protecting the battery from running high or low and thus being damaged. It alternates
between work and rest/recharge periods. In low-light conditions, if the battery is often low, you
can increase the rest periods and set it to work for shorter periods. In low-light conditions, we
also recommend turning ON the “Auto-Start” setting, so that the robot automatically starts again
in the morning if the battery ran low at night. Note that some of the “Device Settings” (“Waterline
Cleaning Frequency” and “Wheels Unblock”) also affect how much the battery is drained.
• Day Cleaning - Cleaning cycle duration during the day.
• Day Pause - Skimmi finds direct sunlight and pauses its work for the set amount of time to
charge its battery. If the battery is full, it doesn’t pause.
• Night Cleaning - Cleaning cycle duration at night. Note that this is short because the robot does
not recharge at night.
• Night Pause - Breaks in between cleaning cycles. Note that this pause is long so that the robot
doesn't drain its battery at night.
• Start Delay - Delay the start of the first cleaning after dawn and dusk. Start delay is useful in
low-light conditions. It allows the robot to fill up its battery in the morning before starting to
work and it waits a few hours at night before starting to work so that there is enough battery
power left to clean the pool right before your morning swim.
