Beatbot has officially launched the iSkim Ultra, an AI-powered robotic pool skimmer that the company calls the first of its kind. Designed to solve the common headaches of traditional skimmers that include inefficient debris pickup, weak durability, and lack of smart features, the iSkim Ultra combines advanced sensors, AI-driven navigation, and solar-assisted charging into a single device.
Smarter Cleaning Through AI
The iSkim Ultra uses 20 onboard sensors and Beatbot’s AI navigation system to scan a pool’s layout and optimize its cleaning path. An S-shaped route ensures wide coverage, while tri-ultrasonic sensors detect obstacles and edges for precision skimming. Its seven-motor system powers surface propulsion, obstacle handling, and debris capture, making the robot a more capable alternative to standard floating skimmers.
ClearWater Clarification and Debris Control
One of its most distinctive features is the ClearWater Clarification System, which dispenses an eco-friendly agent to keep water crystal clear and prevent buildup. A 300ml kit is rated to treat up to 99,000 gallons of water.
Debris removal is handled by a 265mm front roller brush and dual rotating side brushes, which funnel leaves and dirt toward the center before sweeping it into a 9-liter anti-spill filter basket. This design reduces wasted passes and increases pickup efficiency.
Solar Charging and Long Runtime
The iSkim Ultra is equipped with a 24W solar panel and 10,000mAh battery, allowing it to recharge itself in sunlight through Beatbot’s SolarTrack system. When light is low, the battery provides extended runtime, reducing the need for frequent manual recharging.
App Controls and Voice Updates
Owners can manage the skimmer through a smartphone app with WiFi and Bluetooth support. Functions include speed control, scheduling, water temperature monitoring, clarifier dispensing, and a “summon” option to return the robot to the poolside. Voice alerts deliver real-time status updates, from cleaning progress to low-battery reminders.
Magnetic wireless charging makes topping up the battery straightforward, while automatic docking at the pool’s edge ensures the device is easy to retrieve when it finishes a cycle.
Pricing and Limited-Time Offer
The Beatbot iSkim Ultra is now available at a retail price of $1,499. As part of a DogDays promotion, customers can bring the cost down to $850 by using the promo code iSkimUltraCode for a limited time. More information can be found on Beatbot’s official website.
