SOLAR POOL SKIMMERThe surface-cleaning guide

A better fit starts here

Find your pool's skimmer.

Tell us about pool type, reachable water depth, sunlight and controls. We'll explain which documented features match—and which physical clearances still need checking.

Measure shelves the robot can reach. Unknown model clearance is excluded when a depth is entered.

We do not collect or send your answers. Mostly shaded pools still require you to follow the approved adapter-charging procedure.

Starting comparison

Compare three starting options

A research-based shortlist, not a guarantee of fit. Check exact model, obstacles and manual before purchase.

Starting options assume mixed sunshine and no required app or measured clearance. Submit your own conditions above.

  • Backup charging is available; check whether the adapter is included.
  • No app control is documented; check the exact physical or remote controls.
  • Measure shallow shelves and check model clearance before buying.
  • In-ground selection does not establish step, tanning-ledge, coping or wall-opening clearance.
  • Confirm water conditions against the exact model manual.

How the Finder works

We compare documented charging options, app controls, minimum depth and saltwater limits. Listings without confirmed requirements are excluded. Pleco SK01 remains outside automatic matches because its supplied-manual restrictions require a separate pool-operation check. A known requirement excludes models whose relevant specification is unknown. Within the remaining candidates, charging fit, simple-control preference and debris priorities influence order. This is not a tested performance ranking. For a salt pool, use the saltwater compatibility guide to compare the measured reading, exact-model limit and care requirements before treating a Finder result as suitable.

Depth is an exact inclusive boundary. WYBOT's manual lists 70 mm, which is about 2.76 inches and is displayed here as 2.8 inches. An entered 2.7 inches excludes F1; 2.8 inches can admit it when the other constraints pass. That result means only that the measured depth is not below the published floor—it does not certify ledge access, turning room or escape clearance.

Pool type is a guidance path, not a hidden approval filter. Use the above-ground guide, inground guide or depth and obstacle matrix to check ladders, ledges, coping and wall openings. Infinity-edge selections return no automatic matches: the Betta Flex evidence is a starting point, but the exact edge and catch basin still need manufacturer confirmation.

Leaf-heavy selections favor documented large-basket models; fine-particle selections favor confirmed finer mesh in the shortlist. Particle shape and actual collection can differ, so we do not promise pollen-free water. For a compact pool, follow the small and plunge pool screening order before comparing runtime or basket size.

Prices are not used because they change. Package contents still matter: WYBOT says F1's DC charger is optional and sold separately, while other exact packages may include an adapter. Compare the current Amazon total and included charger before ordering. Read the WYBOT F1 decision guide, review our editorial policy or compare every model.
