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.
