Betta Flex Solar-Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Betta Flex Solar-Powered Robotic Pool Skimmer. This device is designed to autonomously clean your pool's surface, removing debris such as leaves, pollen, and dust, ensuring a cleaner swimming environment with minimal effort. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the skimmer to ensure proper use and maintenance.

1. Setup

1.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the packing list. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

1.2 Initial Placement & Charging

The Betta Flex skimmer operates entirely on solar energy. For initial use, place the skimmer directly into the pool water. Ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for optimal charging. The device will begin charging automatically. No external cords or plugs are required for operation or charging.

The high-capacity built-in lithium battery is charged by the efficient solar panel. It typically requires 5-6 hours of direct sunlight for a full charge, enabling reliable operation.

2. Operating the Skimmer

2.1 Powering On/Off

To activate the skimmer, locate the power switch on the device and set it to your desired cleaning mode. To turn off, set the switch to the 'OFF' position.

2.2 Cleaning Modes

The Betta Flex offers dual cleaning modes:

• Eco Mode: For smart, periodic sweeps, optimizing energy consumption.
• Normal Mode: For continuous 24/7 performance, ensuring constant surface cleaning.

The skimmer automatically cleans various floating debris on the water's surface. Its patented AquaDynamic Design allows for non-stop cleaning, day and night.

2.3 Pool Compatibility & Navigation

The Betta Flex is compatible with all pool types, including infinity edge, in-ground, and above-ground pools. Its soft-touch casing is designed to be gentle on pool sides while effectively managing debris.

Equipped with ultrasonic radar sensors and a UV-resistant body, the skimmer detects obstacles and guides itself to efficiently clean your entire pool.

3. Maintenance

3.1 Emptying the Debris Basket

The skimmer features a spacious debris basket with an easy-lift handle for convenient emptying. To empty, simply dock the skimmer, open the cover, and lift out the basket. No flipping or disassembly of the main unit is required.

3.2 Cleaning the Solar Panel

Regularly wipe the solar panel surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or residue. This ensures maximum solar energy absorption and efficient charging.

4. Troubleshooting

4.1 Skimmer Getting Stuck in Skimmer Port

If the Betta Flex skimmer frequently gets stuck in your pool's skimmer port, a simple solution is to use a pool noodle as a barrier. Cut a pool noodle to size and wedge it into the skimmer opening so it protrudes slightly, preventing the robotic skimmer from entering and getting trapped.

4.2 Reduced Cleaning Performance

• Check Debris Basket: Ensure the debris basket is not full. A full basket can impede water flow and reduce skimming efficiency.
• Clean Solar Panel: A dirty solar panel can reduce charging efficiency, leading to shorter operating times. Clean the panel as described in Section 3.2.
• Sunlight Exposure: Ensure the skimmer receives adequate direct sunlight for charging. Cloudy days or shaded areas may affect performance.
