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 (all-day solar patrol versus a Sora 70 surface cycle of up to 7 hours), the same 8-inch shallow-area access, and the ability to clean both zones at the same time rather than one after the other. At current store prices the bundle costs less than a Sora 70 while delivering more total cleaning time per week.

Yes. Beatbot designs the pair to run in parallel: the iSkim Ultra patrols the surface while the Sora 30 cleans underwater, and both use ultrasonic obstacle detection. Running them at the same time shortens total cleaning time compared to sequential operation.

Beatbot rates the iSkim Ultra at 18 to 20 hours of battery life on the 10,000 mAh battery alone. Real-world performance varies: in summer with strong overhead sunlight, the 24W solar panel keeps the battery topped up so the unit can run effectively continuously; during cloudy weeks, solar charging contributes less and runtime falls back toward the battery rating. The magnetic wireless charger (about 5 hours for a full charge) covers extended cloudy periods.

The iSkim Ultra 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 steer around objects, but it is not designed to work around swimmers; use the app's one-click parking button or lift it out before extended swim activity.

When a cycle ends or the battery runs low, the Sora 30 floats to the water surface and parks there for pickup. If physically stuck on an obstacle, ultrasonic sensors and S-shaped path planning typically free it; if not, lift it out by hand or with a pool hook. The app cannot reach the robot while it is on the pool floor or wall, but once it is parked at the surface you can trigger one-touch retrieval from the app.

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.

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 with single-purchase AquaRefine refill kits from RoboticsSelect.

Yes for the iSkim Ultra (floating surface skimmer works in any pool shape). The Sora 30 works in above-ground pools with water depths from 8 inches down to 9.8 ft as rated by Beatbot, and cleans platforms at least 8 inches deep and 3.3 ft x 3.3 ft in size. 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.

Beatbot does not publish decibel ratings for either robot. The Sora 30 runs underwater, which muffles its motor noise from the deck, and the iSkim Ultra works at the surface at low speed. Both can be scheduled from the app, so you can run them at times when the pool area is not in use.

RoboticsSelect is an authorized Beatbot dealer, so the full manufacturer warranties apply: 24 months of full machine replacement coverage on the Sora 30 and 24 months on the iSkim Ultra, with warranty support handled through us. U.S.-based shipping fulfillment also reduces transit risk and delivery times versus international or unauthorized resellers.
