    Does it go around the pool surface randomly or can you program it do cover the entire pool surface. My pool surface is 20×40 ft.

      Hi, Jerry! The Skimdevil Camio SX15 uses Smart technology. It doesn’t just float randomly (although, initially, it may feel like it is) but it is designed to map and clean the entire surface of the pool in the most efficient manner. Let it operate first because it will scan and map your pool. It also has the ability to redirect itself to maneuver around obstacles to continue cleaning tight spaces. You can check here for more details https://amzn.to/2GPgQOW. You also don’t need to program it yourself (although it is nice to use the app too to customize/program as you prefer).

    I live in Arizona so to help cool the pool water in the summer I have two water features that spray water over the pool surface. Is the control panel on top of the skimmer water proof when water sprays on top of it?

    • Carlo says:

      Good question, John. Regular rain and winds should not be a problem for the Skimdevil Camio SX15. So a little water spraying over it should be ok.

  3. Gary warren says:

    I would think that in the west were we have hard water itnwould not be a good idea to overspray the solar panels. Lime accumulation could be very detrimental to performance

  4. Carlo says:

    The manufacturer warranty is 1 year. If you purchase from Amazon, they also offer extended 4 year warranty (please check on the seller information for accuracy.)
