Recommended operating conditions
We recommend using Skimmi at pool/outdoor temperatures between 39°F and 131°F.
Skimmi can work alongside your pool-cleaning robot. If that robot has a cord, we recommend enabling 'Avoid cable hose' in the MyDolphinSkimmi app Settings.
Keep the orange clips for storage
The two included orange clips secure the filter tray while Skimmi is not in use. Save them for storing your skimmer.
When Auto Start is enabled, the orange clips block the filter tray from sliding all the way in. This keeps Skimmi from automatically starting a cleaning cycle while it is not in use.
