Solar-Breeze - Robotic Solar Pool Skimmer

If you don't own one of these great pool skimmers already, get one immediately!

For big pools or small pools, you won't regret it, it saves you time and money and it's fun to watch it work. And wait until you see how efficiently it catches all the dirt, that swims around on the surface of your pool.

I was surprised to see how brave this  little machine is.  Sometimes I find even long pieces of palm tree leaves curled up in its collecting tray.  More than this, the machine's fine mesh filter catches all the tiny unwanted things such as dust, pollen, little bugs and other very small stuff, which you normally cannot even see, how much of it is in your pool and probably causes you allergies, irritations or just contributes massively to the pool's contamination.

And it will last you a long time, because of its sturdy construction and the super friendly and generous customer service, which is really willing to help, no matter what part of the globe you're calling from.

Hi Guys!

Just wanted to share with you a picture of the awesome job my Solar-Breeze did after a windy day.  

We went out about 1:30 pm, and got home around 7pm.  It was not windy when we left, and I had emptied the Solar-Breeze the previous day.  While we were out, a storm came over and the wind got very strong.  When we got home I went to check out the pool and was very impressed.  I took the picture when emptying the Solar-Breeze, as I couldn’t believe how much junk it had removed from the pool in a matter of hours.  I should have taken a picture of the pool as well to show you how clean it was…   It even picked up a frog, but he jumped out before I got the camera. LOL  

Why is it that January finds many families taking a serious look at their household budget?  Are there cheaper options for telephone?  Do you really need all those cable channels?  Should you change your time-of-day price plan with your electrical utility?  What priority does Prime Rib have on your grocery list?  For parents of college-bound students, there is that in-state/private college decision also.

Of course, we all want more money and there are two ways to have more money available for your lifestyle and/or your retirement.

1 – make more

2 – spend less

If you can’t increase your inflow, you can certainly decrease your outflow.  Start by sorting your expenses into four broad categories.

A revolutionary approach to pool cleaning is now available which works on the premise that it is cheaper to clean the pool from the surface with free solar energy than from the bottom with expensive electricity.

Messy pools start with debris;  leaves, twigs, flowers, grass cuttings, dust, pollens, seeds, pet hair, and garbage being blown into the pool.  It mostly floats on the surface for a couple of hours before becoming water-logged and sinking to the bottom where it decomposes.  The bacteria  brought into the pool by the debris interacts with the organic material, sunlight and water to produce algae growth.

Removing the debris from the surface before it sinks makes all kinds of sense and cents.

Many Solar-Breeze owners live in the No-Snow Zone.  We welcome cooler temperatures but can still have dinner outside by the pool. 

Winter brings shorter days, and less direct solar rays.  When the sun hits pholtovoltaic panels at an angle of less than 90 degrees, they still function to turn solar energy into an electrical current, however the amount of current produced is less.  For the Solar-Breeze, this means shorter operating times as less energy is produced during the day and less charge is available on the battery during the night.

In parts of the world where pools are closed for the winter, there is a fall routine you go through to clean, close and cover your swimming pool.  If you are using a Solar-Breeze robotic pool skimmer to keep your summer pool sparkling clean, then you have one more task.   Clean, dry and store the Solar-Breeze so that next summer you can again have a trouble free, sparkling clean pool.

I used to think — “Someone should do something about that.”  Then I realized that I am someone.

When it comes to your swimming pool, there are greener options.  An average pool which is open year-round consumes enough electricity to create the same carbon footprint as an SUV.  Solar Pool Technologies has the mission of introducing inventions to remove the swimming pool from the electrical grid.

Solar energy can be used to clean, heat and sanitize your pool.

Are you ready for fall?

Pine needles, mesquite leaves, bougainvillea, palm flowers, leaves of all sorts....blowing into your pool and mucking it up.

If this mess becomes waterlogged and sinks to the bottom, it will take more energy to clean your pool and more chemicals to rebalance and sanitize it.

This is when Solar-Breeze really shines.

Pools can be “green” in a sustainable way, but they can also be green for all the wrong reasons.  If your pool has been overtaken by algae, you may want to backwash your pool to clear the algae and restore your water quality.  Diatomaceous Earth filters are ideal for clearing out the bad type of green in your pool, and they do so in an eco-friendly way!
