How to properly care for the Skimmi
Cleaning the solar panel: Periodically clean dust and pollen off the solar panel surface gently to maximize charging efficiency. Use a soft towel or sponge with soap to clean any limescale that accumulates.
Preserving the battery: Be sure that the skimmer is not left in a very hot location (such as a car or hot pavement) as this will likely damage the battery and void the warranty. The default settings are programmed for maximal battery life. The solar panel bypasses the battery whenever it is full and powers the motors directly. This feature minimizes over-dependence on the battery and prevents it from overcharging.
When the Skimmi will not be in use for an extended period, follow our off-season storage recommendations.
We recommend making sure not to submerge the Skimmi in water or wash it with a high-powered water stream to avoid water corrosion.
