Having a pool is definitely an attraction. You can host weekend parties, family bonding, and invigorate fitness. With all these attractions, one critical thing that a pool owner often forget is the maintenance. One issue is the floating articles that gets into your pool every single day, which when ignored eventually, will make the pool prone to less-than-luxurious conditions including algae build up. These floaters needs to be removed as often as possible. Hand skimming is one way to remove floating articles, but it’s a lot of work, especially when you have to do it often. With the help of Solar Breeze Robotic Pool Skimmer, you don’t have to get stressed over this chore every time you use the pool.

The Solar Breeze Pool Skimmer does all the work for you. It collects bugs, leaves, and other dirts, plus being it a solar robotic skimmer, you don’t have to worry about energy consumption as well. It’s a double benefit for sure. The only thing that hinders everyone to purchase it is its price, you pay quite a high initial purchase.



SO THE QUESTION IS, IS THE SOLAR BREEZE POOL SKIMMER WORTH AN INVESTMENT?

Prior to answering the question, let me provide you first with the robots’ benefits:

Eco Friendly

One thing that attracts me most of this robotic pool skimmer is it capability to work without consuming electricity. it is equipped with solar panels that collects energy from the sun and charge the onboard batteries that operate the machine.

With this feature, you can just leave the device in the pool and it will continuously clean your pool all day and all night without worrying excessive energy consumption.

Chemical Dispenser

One cool add on feature to this cleaner is the chemical dispenser. This built-in chemical dispenser spreads the chemicals evenly across the pool leading to less waste and cleaner water. Again, it’s a double benefit, not just it helps you remove debris in the surface of your pool, but it as well helps you purify the water making it safer for swimming.

Cordless

The good thing about this cleaner is it being powered by solar. Meaning, you don’t have to connect it to a power source, unless when you have to charge the batteries due to rainy or cloudy weather.

Moreover, the absent of the cord means the robotic cleaner can move freely without tangles or obstructions. Also, it cleans any type of pools. Any!

Paddle Drive

The Solar Breeze Robotic Pool Skimmer is operated around the pool with the help of a paddle drive that is fixed to the rear of the device. As it moves around your pool, the paddle drive secured to the front picks up the leaves and other dirt floating on the pool surface

Smart Processor

The cleaner works efficiently without the owner having to monitor it. The device is incorporated with a smart onboard computer which ensures that the machine cleans every inch of the pool surface. When the unit is stuck, the automatic reverse function is triggered helping the robotic skimmer to get out from where it has gotten stuck.

There is also a programmed back-up which guarantees that the robotic cleaner covers the entire surface of pool every 2 hours.

WHAT THE SOLAR BREEZE POOL SKIMMER NEEDS IMPROVEMENT ON

  • When you have to remove the device out of the pool, you have to be extra careful when removing the unit from the pool as the debris collected tends to fall out and back into the water.
  • It does not pick up the debris from the floor of the pool. For your information, debris typically floats for about 3-4 hours only before it sinks to the bottom.
  • Costly for a device that only cleans the surface of the pool

FINAL THOUGHTS

So back to the question, should this be worth your investment? You have to put in mind that this cleaner only cleans the surface of your pool.  So, if you’re not satisfied in its cleaning ability, you may need to invest in more conventional robotic pool cleaners.

If it’s summer, or if you live in a tropical place, you have lots of trees and plants surrounding your pool and you must be tired of keeping your pool clean. Then YES! This is definitely for you. After all, you just have to pay once and it will cost you nothing to operate.
