Support answer · Skimmi Use & Maintenance

How does the Skimmi navigate?

Short answer: Dolphin Skimmi uses four infrared sensors, two above the water and two below, to detect debris and objects in the pool.

Based on Maytronics support, updated 2025-08-24, rewritten by Poolbots' pool experts. Applies to 1 model.

The answer

What to know.

Dolphin Skimmi detects debris and objects using four infrared sensors. Two sensors sit above the water, and two sit below it.

The front paddle brush and two side paddlewheels create motor-driven currents that move debris into the filter tray. Together with the sensors, these features provide cleaning coverage across all areas of the pool.

For best results, use Skimmi within the recommended pool/outdoor temperature range of 39 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit.
