Solar-Breeze Review from Hawaii

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.

Aloha from Hawaii!  Dan, in the Hawaiian Islands

We love to hear from our customers.  Thank you for your kind words Dan.

Ringing in a Greener Year

The year 2011 will go down in history as a very difficult one from the standpoint of the global economy, but it will also stand out for the incredible explosion of interest in Solar.  More homes and businesses than ever are using solar energy as a source for electrical power. We all see the need to use more renewable energy.  Solar fits the bill for most of the planet.

Solar gadgets and devices have proliferated.  Some are just for fun.  Others fill a real need.  The Solar-Breeze solar robotic pool skimmer fits into the "need" category.  Even if current Solar-Breeze owners only reduced their pool pump runtimes by half last year,  the carbon equivalent of many hundreds of SUV's have been taken off the road.  The staff at Solar Pool Technologies thanks everyone who made this possible.

As we ring in a New Year, we look forward to connecting with more pool owners around the world and helping them to save time, money and energy.
