Beatbot Sora 30 Robotic Pool Cleaner + Beatbot Robotic Pool Skimmer

The Sora 70 is the only single Sora model that cleans both the surface and underwater zones. The Sora 30 + iSkim Ultra bundle replaces it with two specialized robots that together provide more surface coverage (24/7 patrol versus a Sora 70 surface cycle), greater shallow-area access (8 inches), and the ability to clean both zones simultaneously rather than sequentially. The bundle typically costs less than a Sora 70 while delivering more total cleaning time per week.

Yes. The iSkim Ultra patrols the surface while the Sora 30 cleans underwater. Both use ultrasonic obstacle detection and avoid each other automatically. Running them simultaneously cuts total cleaning time roughly in half compared to sequential operation.

Beatbot rates the iSkim Ultra at up to 28 hours of runtime in no-light conditions using the 10,000 mAh battery alone. Real-world performance varies: in summer with strong overhead sunlight, the unit can run effectively continuously; during cloudy winter weeks, runtime drops to as low as 3 hours per day on solar alone. The magnetic wireless charger covers extended cloudy periods.

The iSkim Ultra is 17 lbs and floats on the surface. Most owners remove it during swim sessions or let it operate at one end of the pool while swimming at the other. Ultrasonic obstacle detection helps it avoid swimmers, but Beatbot recommends retrieval before extended swim activity.

When the battery reaches a low threshold, the Sora 30 automatically returns to the water surface and parks at the edge. If physically stuck on an obstacle, ultrasonic sensors and adaptive path planning typically free it; the included retrieval hook handles edge cases. The app sends low-battery and stuck notifications.

The standard 150 micron basket captures leaves, sand, hair, and most visible debris. The optional 3 micron ultra-fine filter (sold separately) captures pollen, fine algae, and microscopic particles that 150 micron allows through. It is most useful during high-pollen seasons or for owners chasing maximum water clarity. Suction is slightly reduced with the finer filter installed.

The ClearWater system dispenses a Beatbot-formulated clarifier in small metered doses. It targets oils, metal residues, and fine particulate without affecting pH, chlorine, or salt levels significantly. The clarifying agent kit is sold separately and is consumed over time; replenish via subscription or single-purchase refills.

Yes for the iSkim Ultra (floating surface skimmer works in any pool shape). The Sora 30 works in above-ground pools with depths between 0.5 m and 3 m and shallow areas at least 8 inches deep. Above-ground pools with steep ladder-side angles or shallow zones below 8 inches may not allow the Sora 30 to navigate properly.

Yes. The unified Beatbot app shows both robots in a single device list with separate controls for each. Schedules, modes, and status alerts are managed independently per unit. iOS and Android versions are available.

The Sora 30 operates at approximately 60-65 dB underwater, audible from pool deck but quieter than a vacuum cleaner. The iSkim Ultra runs at approximately 45-50 dB on the surface, similar to a quiet conversation. Both are designed for daytime and nighttime operation without disturbing neighbors.

RoboticsSelect is an authorized Beatbot dealer, so the full manufacturer warranties apply: 36 months on the Sora 30 and 24 months on the iSkim Ultra. Direct dealer purchasing also keeps the optional 1-year warranty extension available for the iSkim Ultra, and U.S.-based shipping fulfillment reduces transit risk and delivery times versus international or unauthorized resellers.
