What is Eco Mode on the Skimmi 300?

Short answer: Eco Mode offers three cleaning and rest schedules to suit sunlight and cleaning needs, with automatic adjustments between day and night.

Based on Maytronics support, updated 2026-07-13, rewritten by Poolbots' pool experts. Applies to 2 models.

The answer

What to know.

Eco Mode on the Skimmi 300 lets you choose from three session types to match the available sunlight and how much cleaning your pool needs.

  • Medium sessions, the default: Suited to most environments, this setting balances cleaning with rest. During daylight hours, the robot cleans for 45 minutes, followed by 20 minutes resting in the sun. At night, rest periods automatically increase to 90 minutes.
  • Long sessions: Intended for sunny areas, this setting provides longer cleaning periods and shorter rest periods.
  • Short sessions: Intended for low-sun conditions, this setting provides shorter cleaning periods and longer rest periods.

The Skimmi 300 automatically adjusts its Eco cycles for daytime and nighttime operation.

Applies to: Dolphin Skimmi 300 and Dolphin Skimmi.
