Betta provides solar‑powered robotic pool skimmers that autonomously remove surface debris from residential and small‑commercial pools. The units use ultrasonic navigation, dual SCT motors, and a 0.2 mm mesh basket, operating continuously with a built‑in lithium‑ion battery charged by integrated solar panels or optional wall adapters.

Problem
Pool owners must manually skim the water surface to remove leaves, pollen, and other floating debris, a labor‑intensive task that often fails to capture material before it sinks and contaminates the pool bottom.
Solution
Betta provides solar‑powered robotic pool skimmers that operate autonomously 24/7, continuously harvesting surface debris without user intervention. Integrated photovoltaic cells charge an internal lithium‑ion battery while the unit is in the water, and an optional dual‑charging port supplies power during low‑light conditions. The skimmer navigates using ultrasonic sensors and twin SCT (Salt‑Chlorine Tolerant) motors, offering Eco mode for energy‑efficient periodic sweeps and Normal mode for nonstop cleaning. A soft‑touch, UV‑resistant housing protects pool surfaces, while a 0.2 mm mesh basket captures fine particles and includes a compartment for chlorine pucks. The system is compatible with saltwater and chlorine pools up to 5,000 ppm and fits infinity‑edge, in‑ground, and above‑ground pool configurations. Optional accessories such as handheld vacuums and battery‑powered hose reels extend maintenance capabilities across the entire yard.
Target Audience
The primary customers are residential pool owners and small‑scale commercial facilities (e.g., hotels, community pools) that require low‑maintenance, automated surface cleaning.
