Solar-Breeze - Robotic Solar Pool Skimmer

Salt is essential to life.  Without salt in your diet, many of the chemical processes of digestion and nutrient absorption are compromised.

What about salt outside the body – not consumed?  Sea Salt is touted to have all sorts of benefits.  Bathing in Sea Salts will help to detoxify your body, calm inflammatory skin conditions, slough off dead cells and generally leave your skin feeling more vital.  Does swimming in a saltwater pool have the same health and beauty benefits as bathing with Sea Salts?  The answer is all in the numbers.

A salt-water pool uses a chlorine generator to take crystalline salts and break them into Hypochlorous Acid and Sodium Hypochlorite.   The Hypochlorous Acid is the Chlorine that sanitizes the pool water and impedes the growth of algae and bacteria.  The two chemicals convert back into salt and then are broken out again as they go through the electrolysis of the chlorine generator.  While they are recombined, we feel the salt (NaCl) in the pool.

People argue that a saltwater pool is more natural and chlorine free.  This is a common misconception.

A salt water pool starts with crystalline Sodium Chloride (think table-salt).  It looks like this.....

The chlorine generator un-bundles the salt to produce Hypochlorous Acid and Sodium Hypochlorite.

1. To swim in.  Let’s get that one out of the way right off the top.  If you don’t swim, perhaps you should learn.  Not only is it fun, but it is a good survival skill.
2. Less grass to cut and gravel to rake.  Pools take up space.  Although they aren’t maintenance-free, they are less work than a lawn.
3. Water is soothing to look at.  The oasis-effect is undeniably peaceful.
4. Use it for testing in the “float or sink?” game.
5. It’s easier to explain the pool boy.

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!

Large or small, salt water or fresh water, gunite or pebbletec; all pools have a tendency to get dirty.  It's a fact of pools.

There are three steps to having a clean pool, regardless what size or type you may have.

1. SANITIZE

 

1. OXIDIZE

 

1. PREVENT ALGAE

A Solar-Breeze robotic solar pool skimmer can help you with steps 1. and 3 and save on electricity in the process. 

Over the next couple of weeks, the team at Solar Pool Technologies will go deeper into these three steps.  So stay tuned.

I first heard this song when I was about 10 years old and thought it was really hokey, yet somehow, I still remember it, more than 40 years later.  Cool, Clear, Water resonates in my head.  Now I live in the desert and the backyard swimming pool is our oasis - complete with palm trees.   The last thing I want to do is spend time cleaning the pool.  We have a Solar-Breeze for that!  Instead of skimming the pool, I can just kick back and crank up the tunes - even if some of them are a bit old-school.

A frequent comment by visitors to our booth at the Maricopa County Home & Garden Show this weekend is,"My neighbors have these ______ trees that dump all sorts of _____ into my pool.  I can't stand it!  I wish they would just cut them down!!!" 

What a strain on neighborhood relations!  Eucalyptus, mesquite and bougainvillea are beautiful but they are pernicious debris-factories.

Don't get mad!  Get a Solar-Breeze and make friends with your neighbors again!

We add two more benefits to operating a Solar-Breeze in your pool.
