Then, how do pool skimmers work?
How It Works. When the pool pump is running, the skimmer works by pulling water and floating debris from the pool surface through a pivoting flap called a weir. After the debris passes through the weir, it gets collected by the skimmer basket. This continues until the pool pump is turned off.
Which type of robot automatically cleans a swimming pool?

How do pool robots work?
How do they work? Robotic pool cleaners use efficient motors which allows them to operate effectively without using up too much power. When the robot cleaner sucks up debris, it is stored in a separate filter bag attached to the cleaner which can then be emptied after use.
How long should a robotic pool cleaner last?

Why does my pool vacuum not have suction?
Rule out the obvious causes of poor vacuum first. Make sure the water level in the pool is sufficient and air is not being sucked in through skimmer inlets. Add water to the pool to submerge the skimmers if necessary. Verify that the pump strainer basket and the skimmers are free of debris that may obstruct water flow.
Can robotic pool cleaners be left in the pool?
You can swim while your bot cleans the pool, but it’s better not to. Swimming churns up the water. If the machine is in the water at the time, the current will buffet it, making it harder for it to complete its work. It’ll have to work harder to cover the same ground.
How often should I run my pool robot?
Ideally, you need to run your robot pool cleaner daily or at least once a day if you’re always swimming in it. But if you don’t swim in it as much, run it at least once weekly or every two weeks. When you’re using a swimming pool cover all the time, you may wash your pool monthly.
