Storing your Solar-Breeze for the Winter

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.

Green Options for the Pool

P1020475.JPGI 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.

Cats, Hats, & Swimming Pools

Ancient Egyptians believed that they could protect themselves from evil spirits by watching their cats.  Felines could sense the invisible presence and would react to the threat, warning the living people in the home.

Cats can still sense invisible threats.  Their senses and their whiskers are more finely attuned to the world around them than yours and mine are.

So, take note when your mouser meows to come in and stretches out on the cool tile floor.  He senses the threat of excessive sun and heat and is taking the most sensible action available for a non-swimmer.

A Note from Oklahoma

I just had to write and let you know how pleased I am with my new Solar-Breeze robotic pool skimmer.  Living in Oklahoma it was a constant battle skimming the pool due to our extreme winds and numerous trees near my pool.  NO MORE!  The unit worked perfectly right out of the box and I know my pool will be ready for guests at a moment's notice.  I'll certainly tell all my fellow pool owners!
