How does the Skimmi navigate?
What to know.
The Skimmi has four infrared sensors, two above-water, and two below-water to help it detect debris and objects in the pool.
Together with the front paddle brush and the two side paddlewheels, the Skimmi creates motor currents that push the debris into the filter tray. For best results, we recommend using the Skimmi in a pool/outdoor temperature between 39-131 degrees Fahrenheit.
These combined features ensure that all areas of the pool receive proper cleaning coverage, resulting in a sparkling, clean pool.
