Good afternoon all, I'm considering getting either the Betta solar skimmer or installing a Hayward wall skimmer as an upgrade from last season's Intex floating skimmer. I felt like the intex worked pretty well but it was a bit of a hassle and obstruction with it being in the pool. We did use a solar cover at night as we have a rectangular pool with the wall mounted solar cover roller. So my question is, is it better to go with a wall mounted skimmer and continue to use the solar cover or forego the cover and let the robot run 24 hours a day? I did get the seagull SE last year as a cordless floor vacuum but did feel that it left some debris in the corners. Hence my wanting to remove the debris before it falls to the bottom. Thoughts?

I vote the Betta robotic skimmer! I bought mine a year ago and its the best investment for my pool. I got the SE version which is both solar powered and and can be charged via the adapter. We just leave it in the pool day and night and it cleans 24/7. Even gets my dog's hair. We barely had to manually skim the pool and hire pool cleaners since we got it
