Super Clean Pool

Let me begin by saying this is the best pool product you can buy to prevent tons of maintenance. When I first purchased this I just wanted a way to reduce the time I spend kimming the water. It does that extremely well all day and all night. Bugs and debris have a very slight chance to sink to the bottom. And by doing so helps keep your water clean and clear. I live in Chicago and my neighbor asked me in October how the heck I keep my pool so clean and this S2 is the sole reason why. I think it even helps with my Chlorine consumpsion as well. 6 Stars

So far, it's awesome. We have a ton of pine needles that blow in from a neighbors yard and into the pool, Skimmy takes care of them all! I think we've charged him officially once, the rest of the time he runs on solar and luck. You do need to use the noodle in the pools built-in skimmer, as Skimmy doesn't have a TON of power to jet away from the suction, but with the noodle in, he just zips by it on his normal rounds.

Using now for 2 weeks, its is not cheap I know but this little guy really helps keep the leaves off the bottom of the pool. We have been able to turn off skimmer and now working the water level drops and pump is sucking air and no debris be getting into the pump.

Great for little insects like No-see-ums, or any other that end up in the water, as well as any leaves. Big basket so you won’t have to be cleaning it frequently.

My friend has one if these in his pool all summer long. It was amazing watching it pick up all the debris floating in the water. So I had to buy one! Can’t wait to set it up when I open my pool.

Design looks good until you put it in the pool. Within an hour the plastic cover is seriously beat up from scraping against the pool wall. Very weak blade rotation. Not worth the high cost.

Buyer beware – don’t waste your time or money

I truly regret purchasing this expensive pool skimmer. Right out of the box, it was nothing but problems. It took over 8 hours to fully charge, and only after doing a firmware update did the LEDs finally indicate that it was charged.
After setting up the cleaning schedule and placing it in the pool, I started the cleaning cycle – but it was a disaster. The propellers would only spin for about 15 seconds, then stop for 30 seconds, before trying again. This repeated cycle eventually stopped altogether, leaving me with a non-functional skimmer.
I tried to restart the setup sequence three times, hoping it was a one-off issue, but it never worked. Honestly, it was faster and less frustrating to skim the pool manually rather than deal with this unreliable product.
Buyer beware – don’t waste your time or money on this.

We are very sorry for the unpleasant experience. This solar-powered automatic robotic pool skimmer Surfer S2 comes with a 24-month warranty and worry-free customer service from the date of purchase. To further make sure what caused the cleaner failure, please do the troubleshooting steps below to fix the issue: 1. Please check whether the machine is used in a saltwater swimming pool. If so, observe the rotation of the propellers on both sides after turning on the machine. If there is obvious jamming, turn off the machine, manually turn the lower propeller, turn on the machine and let it run for half an hour before testing (if it is caused by saltwater crystallization, this operation can solve the machine caused by saltwater crystallization); 2. If it is not a saltwater swimming pool, please turn off the machine, clean up the foreign objects wrapped around the propeller or impeller, and manually turn the impeller for testing after cleaning. If the rotation is normal, turn on the machine for testing; 3. After turning off the machine, wipe the sensor probe with a clean and soft cloth, and then turn it on for testing; 4. After restarting the machine, if the propeller still does not rotate, it is a machine failure. We appreciate your support and cooperation in providing details with us via email at [email protected]. We understand that timely and effective support is crucial, and we are committed to resolving any issues you may encounter promptly.

Bought this because have a large tree in the backyard that drops a lot of leaves into the pool. This skimmer picks them all up. It is also solar powered so I can leave it in the pool all day. So far so good!
