Keep your pool crystal clear with the next generation of robotic pool skimmers. Solar-powered, cordless, and fully autonomous, today’s automatic skimmers capture leaves, bugs, pollen, and fine surface debris before it has a chance to sink — saving you hours of manual cleaning and cutting strain on your pump and filter. Free shipping, no restocking fees, and a full 30-day risk-free trial on every skimmer.
A solar robotic skimmer works 24/7 on your pool’s surface — where 80% of pool debris starts. Catching it up top means less sinks to the floor, less clogs your filter, and less wears out your pump.
Runs on free sunlight during the day and stores energy to keep cleaning at night. Zero electric bill, zero cords, zero emissions.
Leaves, pollen, bugs, and pet hair get trapped in a large easy-rinse basket — so your main pool robot and filter do less work.
Skimming surface debris reduces organics that eat chlorine and strains your filter — lowering chemical use and running your pump hours fewer each day.
Monitor solar charge, steer manually, and schedule cleaning cycles from your phone. The MyDolphin™ Skimmi app puts your pool in your pocket.
Onboard IR sensors map walls, steps, and obstacles automatically — rectangular, kidney, round, or free-form pools up to 65 ft long.
Every Dolphin Skimmi is a genuine Maytronics unit backed by a full manufacturer warranty — shipped free and risk-free for 30 days.
The Dolphin Skimmi automatically hunts the sunny spots in your pool to top off its battery. Cleaning by day, finishing the job at night — all without adding a penny to your energy bill.
Because it runs on stored solar power instead of hijacking your pump, Skimmi drops pump runtime requirements and reduces wear on your whole pool system.
Infrared sensors above and below the waterline detect walls, obstacles, and shallow areas in real time. No pre-mapping, no bumpers, no getting stuck on the ladder.
That means complete surface coverage on any pool shape — rectangular, freeform, kidney-shaped, or round — with no dead spots where debris collects.
The MyDolphin™ Skimmi app turns your phone into mission control. Check solar charge status, adjust cleaning schedules, and manually steer Skimmi to that one stubborn pile of leaves — all over Bluetooth, no subscription required.
Get real-time alerts when the filter basket is full so you know exactly when to empty it. No guessing, no wasted trips outside.
Lift, rinse, drop back in. The oversized coarse-filter basket traps leaves, pollen, insects, and pet hair — and because it holds more than a fixed-wall skimmer, you empty it far less often.
Designed to be removed even while the skimmer is in the water, so you can clean it in seconds without bending over the pool edge.
An automatic or robotic pool skimmer is a cordless, floating surface cleaner that patrols your pool autonomously. It captures leaves, pollen, insects, and other light debris before it can sink and turn into sludge, algae food, or filter-clogging waste. Models like the Dolphin Skimmi recharge from the sun and run on their own schedule — no pump, no hoses, no cords.
Yes — they solve different problems. A robotic pool cleaner scrubs the floor, walls, and waterline. An automatic skimmer handles the surface. Running both together is the gold standard: the skimmer removes debris before it sinks, and the robot handles anything that makes it to the floor. Together they cut pool maintenance time dramatically.
Solar skimmers like the Dolphin Skimmi have a built-in photovoltaic panel on top. The unit actively seeks sunny spots on the pool during the day, charges its internal battery, and uses that stored energy to keep cleaning — even after dark. No outlet, no extension cord, and no additional electricity cost.
Yes. The Dolphin Skimmi uses infrared sensors above and below the waterline to navigate any pool shape — rectangular, kidney, round, oval, or freeform — up to 65 ft in length. It works in inground and above-ground pools and is compatible with pool covers.
That depends on how much debris your pool collects. During heavy leaf-drop or pollen season you may empty it daily; in calm weeks, every few days is enough. The basket is oversized and lifts out for a quick rinse — no tools required.
Yes. Organic debris on the surface consumes chlorine as it breaks down. By removing leaves, pollen, and bugs before they can dissolve or sink, an automatic skimmer reduces chlorine demand, limits algae food, and takes load off your filter and pump — which can also lower your electric bill.
The Dolphin Skimmi includes a full 1-year manufacturer’s warranty from Maytronics. Every unit ships free and is backed by Poolbots’ 30-day risk-free trial and low-price guarantee.
No. The MyDolphin™ Skimmi app is free to download and use — no monthly fees, no paywalls, no unlockable features. You get full control, charging status, and scheduling at no extra cost for the life of the skimmer.
