The Dolphin Skimmi: Solar-Powered, 24/7 Surface Cleaning in the GTA
Tired of constantly having to skim your pool of leave and debris? Battling against the trees? Fighting with your partner about cutting them down? Not anymore.
The Dolphin Skimmi is a new-era, solar-powered robotic surface skimmer that acts as your pool’s first line of defence, providing 24/7 autonomous maintenance for pools up to 65 feet (20m) in length.
Why the Dolphin Skimmi is Superior to Manual Skimming
| Manual Skimming (The Chore) | Dolphin Skimmi (The Automated Solution) |
|---|---|
| Time Commitment: Requires you to physically patrol the pool surface multiple times a day. | Hassle-Free Operation: Drop-and-Forget. The unit operates 24/7, constantly clearing the surface for a clean morning swim. |
| High Energy Cost: The traditional method relies on running your main pool pump at high speeds to pull surface debris into the skimmer basket. | Zero Energy Cost: It is 100% solar-powered and cordless, recharging during the day and running on stored energy at night. It reduces the need for your main pump to run at higher speeds. |
| Filter Strain & Water Quality: Debris sinks and puts massive strain on the bottom drain and skimmer baskets, forcing your main pump and filter to work harder. | Protects Equipment: It removes leaves, pollen, and insects before they sink, significantly reducing debris load and stress on your expensive pump and filter. |
| Poor Coverage: You can only skim when you are present; debris collects overnight. | Intelligent Sensors: Equipped with above and below-water infrared sensors to navigate seamlessly, avoiding obstacles (like pool hoses) for full surface coverage. |
The Skimmi completely replaces the most tedious daily chore of pool ownership: standing poolside with a net.
Smart Technology and Features
The Skimmi utilizes advanced features developed by Maytronics (the creators of Dolphin) to ensure efficiency:
- Smart Solar Recharge: The unit automatically detects sunny spots in your pool to park and recharge its Lithium-ion battery, maximizing its runtime and energy efficiency.
- App Control: The MyDolphin™ Skimmi app (Bluetooth-enabled) allows you to monitor its battery and charging status, check real-time water temperature, and use a manual drive feature to direct the robot to a debris hotspot.
- Cordless Design: Its lightweight, cordless design ensures it moves freely across all pool shapes (rectangular, kidney, free-form) without getting tangled or stuck.
The Dolphin Skimmi works constantly above the surface, acting as the ideal companion to a traditional Dolphin robotic floor cleaner, ensuring no part of your pool is left untouched.
