Support answer · Skimmi Use & Maintenance

How do I store my Skimmi in the off-season?

Short answer: Store your Skimmi with about 50% battery charge at 14°F to 104°F, with a clean filter tray held partly open if Auto Start is enabled.

Tools: Orange clips

The answer

What to know.

Before storing your Dolphin Skimmi

  1. Charge the battery to roughly 50%. Choose a storage location within the recommended range of 14°F to 104°F.
  2. Clean out the filter tray so debris does not harden during storage.
  3. For Skimmi, not Skimmi 300, put the orange clips in the filter tray or use another method to keep the tray from closing completely. This keeps the robot off when Auto Start is enabled.
  4. Protect the robot from excessive heat while stored. A hot storage location can damage the battery.

After off-season storage

Clean the solar panel, turn the robot on, then activate it in a sunny pool. This lets it begin charging while it works and helps it return to effective cleaning after storage.
