The answer

What to know.

When the front sensors on Dolphin Skimmi are dirty or blocked, they may not detect the pool walls properly.

Gently clean the front sensors to remove dirt, debris, and buildup that could affect detection.

If Dolphin Skimmi continues to hit the walls after cleaning, chat with Poolbots' pool experts for help.
