<\/a><\/p>\n Hand skimming a pool is a lot of work, especially if you have to do it often.\u00a0Pools in dusty areas or near trees get dirty quickly, requiring skimming before every use.<\/p>\n Frequent skimming is also important if your\u00a0pool gets used a lot. Using the right mesh filter, a good skimmer\u00a0can\u00a0rid your pool of floating oil from suntan lotion.<\/p>\n If you have the budget and suffer from constant skimming (like we do at my house), then\u00a0the Solar Breeze NX Automatic Pool Skimmer<\/strong><\/a> is a dream come true.<\/p>\n You just\u00a0place it in the pool, turn it on, and it takes care of\u00a0almost all\u00a0of the debris & oils floating on the water.<\/p>\n What is even more amazing is that it does this using 100%\u00a0solar power – no cables, no electrical concerns, and no utility\u00a0bills.<\/p>\n And the solar charging works great – some\u00a0users say they’ve never had to charge it from a wall outlet, since purchase.<\/p>\n A constantly\u00a0clean pool surface, with zero labor or power costs – what’s not to like?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is important to note that the Solar Breeze is just a pool skimmer, not a fully-fledged robotic pool cleaner<\/a>.<\/p>\n It just removes\u00a0debris and unwanted particles from\u00a0the surface of the water<\/strong> but does\u00a0not clean floors or walls<\/strong>.\u00a0For that, you will need a robotic pool cleaner from brands like Aquabot<\/a> and Maytronics<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Solar Breeze NX<\/strong> does what it is designed to do, efficiently and silently.<\/p>\n Once placed on the water, it skims the surface collecting everything from leaves to pollen and even suntan oil. It does an excellent job, too.<\/p>\n When it comes to ease of use, this is one of the simplest pool cleaners you will ever work with. Just place it in the water, turn it on and watch it go merrily on its way collecting everything unwanted on the water.<\/p>\n It will collect\u00a0twigs, leaves, pollen and other debris on the surface of the water. If your pool tends to develop floating films, the Solar Breeze skimmer can clean that up, too (for the most part).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Solar Breeze has\u00a0solar panels<\/strong> on\u00a0the top surface of the unit, which take in sunlight and convert it into usable electrical power.\u00a0Batteries<\/strong> within the unit store the solar\u00a0power\u00a0and drive the motors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A paddle drive<\/strong>\u00a0near\u00a0the front moves\u00a0the unit through\u00a0the water and collects\u00a0surface residue and debris into\u00a0a collection tray, located inside\u00a0the unit.<\/p>\n The filter tray<\/strong>\u00a0is removed periodically to empty it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The skimmer comes with an intelligent onboard computer<\/strong> that helps in navigation, ensuring that every inch of your pool surface is covered.<\/p>\n If the skimmer gets stuck, the computer will trigger an automatic reverse navigation to get the unit moving again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the best part about the Solar Breeze NX automatic pool skimmer, in my opinion.<\/p>\n The best part about being solar-powered\u00a0is the\u00a0lack of a power cord<\/strong>. You do not have to connect it to a power source, unless you need to charge the batteries due to a lot of cloudy days.<\/p>\n In addition to not having to pay for electricity, the absence of a cord\u00a0means it moves freely without obstruction<\/strong>. The skimmer can clean a pool of any shape and size with no\u00a0issue.<\/p>\n The Solar Breeze NX’s\u00a0reliance on\u00a0batteries has another\u00a0advantage; you can<\/strong> use\u00a0this skimmer a night<\/strong>. The batteries store enough charge to power the automatic cleaner for several hours without sunlight.<\/p>\n When the battery charge dips below a certain level, the unit automatically shuts down and you will see a warning red light.<\/p>\n Once you place it on the water, it does all the work on its own. \u00a0This is due\u00a0to its\u00a0intelligent onboard processor<\/strong> that directs navigation and cleaning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Solar Breeze NX is not just a pool cleaner; it can also be used to dispense pool chemicals<\/strong>\u00a0using its\u00a0built-in chemical dispenser<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The advantage of using the Solar Breeze over other dedicated dispensers is that it spreads the chemicals more evenly across the pool leading to less wastage and cleaner water.<\/p>\n If you can afford it, this\u00a0is one product that every pool owner who suffers from daily skimming chores should have.<\/p>\n The Solar Breeze NX\u00a0makes the work of keeping the surface of your\u00a0pool clean\u00a0with zero effort on your part. Best of all, it costs you nothing to operate.<\/p>\nCleaning Ability<\/h2>\n
