Product Description

The Dolphin Skimmi is an intelligent, automated solution for effortless pool care. This advanced robotic pool skimmer seamlessly skims and cleans the water surface, delivering a pristine swimming experience. Designed for all pool types, the Dolphin Skimmi adapts to various pool designs, ensuring thorough and efficient cleaning.

Harnessing the power of the sun, the Dolphin Skimmi intuitively solar charges by navigating to sunny spots in your pool area, providing eco-friendly pool maintenance with minimal effort. Enjoy the convenience of cordless operation, as the lightweight design makes it easy to transport and remove from your pool.

The Dolphin Skimmi's robust solar power ensures powerful performance, saving energy for nighttime cleanings and reducing your pool pump's energy consumption. Its Fine Filter easily handles debris, offering a simpler rinsing process than a manual skimmer net.

Stay in control with the MyDolphin Skimmi App, which provides convenient settings control and allows you to customize cleaning preferences. Monitor power and temperature status with the built-in indicators, and receive real-time updates for uninterrupted pool care.

Equipped with smart infrared sensors above and below the water, the Dolphin Skimmi ensures effective obstacle detection. Pair it with any Dolphin robotic pool cleaner for a comprehensive and complete cleaning system, leaving your pool water crystal clear.

For over 40 years, Dolphin pool cleaners have been effortlessly cleaning the world's pools, empowering pool owners with hassle-free maintenance solutions. With unmatched performance, durability, and cost savings, Dolphin products help you focus on enjoying your pool with family and friends.

Getting Started with the Skimmi App

Q. How do I get started with my Skimmi

A. After you have unpacked the skimmer and removed all the plastic wrapping it's time to start! Preparing your Skimmi for use:

  1. Remove the two orange storage clips from the filter tray.
  2. Push the filter tray in until it snaps into place.
  3. Download the MyDolphin Skimmi app.
  4. To begin the pairing process, manually turn the front wheel to enable the Bluetooth connection.
  5. Tap 'Start Clean' and place the Skimmi in a sunny pool to start working!
We recommend using the Skimmi in a pool/outdoor temperature between 39-131 degrees Fahrenheit.

Two orange clips hold the filter tray securely in place

The two orange clips that come with the Skimmi hold the filter tray securely in place when the robot is not in use. We recommend keeping them to use when the Skimmi is in storage.

Orange clips act as a barrier to prevent filter tray from being inserted completely

If the Skimmi is set on Auto Start, the orange clips act as a barrier to prevent the filter tray from being inserted completely so that the Skimmi does not start its cleaning cycle automatically when not in use.

Q. What features and setting are on MyDolphinSkimmi App?

A. The following Settings are available on the MyDolphin Skimmi, and their intended usage:

Auto Start: With Auto Start, the Skimmer will start working automatically as soon as the filter tray is fully inserted without needing to turn the skimmer on through the app. To activate Auto Start, slide the bar to the right. We recommend turning off the Auto Start before placing the skimmer into off-season storage.

Start via app or automatically

Speed: There are three different Speed options to choose from: Low, High, or Auto (default setting).

  • Low - Slow movement night and day.
  • High - Fast movement night and day.
  • Auto - Skimmi moves slowly at night to preserve energy and moves fast during the day.

Speed Setup

Water Edge Cleaning: Water Edge Cleaning creates a microcurrent that pulls the debris from the edge to clean the perimeter of the pool. This setting has five different options to choose from:

  • OFF - Doesn't create a microcurrent to pull the debris from the edge.
  • Eco (Default Setting) - The Skimmer will clean every 3rd wall that it reaches. (This setting is the most eco-friendly because it reduces battery consumption).
  • Standard - The Skimmer will clean every wall it encounters.
  • Intense - The Skimmer will clean multiple sections of the waterline when encountering the edge of the pool.
  • Perimeter - The Skimmer will clean only the waterline.

Water Edge Cleaning Setup

Water Clarity: If the water isn't clear, it affects the sensors' ability to accurately detect obstacles. Cloudy water can cause Skimmi to turn frequently and in circles. Set to 'Cloudy' or 'Murky' if the water is murky so that the sensors won't get confused.

Water Clarity Setup

Night Light: Blue accent lighting that works at night to create a pleasant atmosphere. The options are Still, Flashing, Detects which turns it on when it meets an object/wall, or Off.

Night Light Setup

Debris Washing: Turn this setting off if you don't want the robot to remove debris near the wall. Debris tends to stick to the waterline, so the robot creates a micro-current to pull the debris away from the wall and into the filter.

Debris Washing Setup

Smart Detect:

  • Off - If there aren't any obstacles in the pool.
  • Avoid Cable & Hose - If there is a corded robot cleaner in the pool cleaning simultaneously or for an infinity pool.
  • Leaves (Leaf) Search - If there are a lot of leaves in the pool.

Smart Detect Setup

Distance to Edge: Choose your response distance to the edge of the pool so that Skimmi either doesn't turn too far from the edge or bump into it frequently.

Distance to Edge Setup

Pool Type: This is set on Standard by default for regular, clear pools. If changed to Natural, it will protect plants and other elements on the pond's edge. It won't clean the water's edge in Natural mode.

Pool Type Setup

Smart Solar Recharge: This feature is on by default and causes the robot to actively search for a sunny place to charge between cleaning cycles. We recommend leaving it on for the most energy-efficient cleaning!

Smart Solar Recharge Setup

Wheels Unblock: The robot is programmed to remove an object stuck in its wheels by itself. If it is unsuccessful, it stops and gives an error alert so that you can remove the object manually. It is on Auto by default. If there are strong winds or currents, or the filter tray is full and heavy, Skimmi may have a difficult time navigating. Setting 'Wheels Unblock' to 'Forced' will use more battery power to increase motor strength.

Wheels Unblock Setup

Alert Sound: When Alert Sound is enabled, the Skimmi will beep if it detects a dangerous temperature or if any of the wheels are blocked.

Alert Sound Setup

Manual Drive: Use the Manual Drive to navigate the Skimmi to the debris that needs to be picked up. Since the communication is through BLE it is important to stand as close as possible to the Skimmi to ensure proper communication. Use the left-hand side toggle to steer the Skimmi forward or backward. Use the right-hand side toggle to steer the Skimmi right or left. Press 'Cruise' if you want the toggles to stay in the set positions. When you press Clean Wall, it will create a microcurrent that will push the debris away from the wall to easily pick up the debris.

Manual Drive Setup

Watt Indicator: The charging/lightning bolt on the app home screen shows how many watts the sun is currently charging the robot.

Watt Indicator Setup

Water Temperature: The temperature indicator shows the water temperature on the app home screen.

Water Temperature Setup

Q. Can I swim while the Skimmi is cleaning the pool?

A. Yes, it is okay to swim in the pool while the Skimmi is in use. We do recommend advising young children to not touch or play with the Skimmi while it is working.

Q. What pool is the Skimmi suitable for?

A. The Skimmi is suitable for pools up to 60 ft in length, in all shapes, sizes, and pool coating types. If the pool is larger than 60 ft, we recommend using two Skimmi's for the best results. It is designed for use in outdoor pools since the skimmer uses solar power energy to run, during the sunny season. Infinity pools: The skimmer has an infinity pool-ready sensor, ensuring your Skimmi can be safely used. In the MyDolphin Skimmi app, make sure the setting 'Smart Detect' is set to 'Avoid hose and cable' to activate those sensors. Saltwater pools: Yes, the Skimmi can be safely used in saltwater pools without any concerns about damage or corrosion from the saltwater.
