Battery Run Time during Winter
During winter months, the battery may not get a full charge because the sunlight is not as
strong as during summer. Therefore, you should expect Betta to have a shorter run time than in
the summer. Even in a sunny winter climate like CA, FL, and AZ, you will not get as fast charge as
in the summer, and a full charge will need a longer period.
5. Cleaning and Storage
Empty Collection Basket and Cleaning
Be sure to watch your steps and maintain your balance when working by the pool
side.
Clean the debris collection basket every 2-3 days to keep Betta running at high efficiency.
1)
Use the remote or waiting until Betta is close to the shallow end of the pool where
you can have safe access to Betta.
2)
Keep it flat when you lift it up by using two hands – one on the front handle and the
other on the lift grip at the rear end to avoid debris getting out of the basket. Leave
Betta on a flat surface to rest the unit.
3)
Slide power switch off.
4)
Unlock the cover lock. Lift the basket handle up to remove the basket out of the unit
and empty the debris.
5)
Rinse the basket out with water hose until it’s completely clean.
6)
Put the basket back in the unit, secure the cover lock, and turn power on.
7)
While cleaning the basket, you may also clean the solar panel. You may see some
white residues on the solar panel which are chemicals and minerals from pool water.
Wash the residues out using water hose and wipe clean with soft dry cloth.
Do NOT
use pressure washer to clean or any tools to scrape or brush the panel to avoid
damages.
Winter and Long-Term Storage
If you are closing your pool for the winter, please remove Betta from the pool. Rinse Betta off
