Solar-Breeze - Robotic Solar Pool Skimmer

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.

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!

Algae is your pool's enemy. Before you attack, clean and remove the debris, balance the water chemistry and identify the algae.
