The fix

Step by step.

If you often find the Skimmi standing still, and the cleaning time is less than usual, try the following steps:

  1. In the MyDolphinSkimmi app, reduce the length of Day Cleaning and extend the Day Pauses in 'Device Settings'.
  1. Turn energy-intensive functions off (i.e., Debris Washing = OFF, Speed = Low, Wheels Unblock = OFF)
  1. Turn on 'Smart Solar Recharge' in the MyDolphin Skimmi app. Set the 'Start Delay' to at least 1-2 hours.

  2. Keep the solar panel clean.

  3. Empty the filter tray more often.
