Want a cleaner pool with less work? This robotic skimmer could help


These smart pool robots are designed to reduce the time spent skimming and cleaning, helping homeowners spend more time enjoying their pools.

Having a pool is one of those things that’s always sounded better to me in concept rather than in practice.

During the summer, I know there’s no better feeling than waking up to a sweltering day, and dipping into a chilly, glimmering pool to help keep the heat at bay. But then… there’s the upkeep.

And for every minute you spend poolside, it’s like another five minutes have to be dedicated to fishing out the leaves and debris or scrubbing your pool’s tile.

I’ve always wished I could just have a 24/7 pool cleaner on-call to help me maintain my seemingly endless pool maintenance — and believe it or not, Betta’s solar-powered pool robots are delivering that support, now for less than $500 with peak pool season deals.
