Solar Breeze Robotic Pool Skimmer

Solar Breeze You know why I don’t have a pool? It’s certainly not because I don’t have a large enough backyard. Or money. Or the desire to be cold and wet. No, it’s because keeping it clean would be really, really annoying. The Solar Breeze helps you out by automatically skimming the inevitable and unending gunk off the water all by itself. This, apparently, is trickier than it seems, and the Solar Breeze has special paddles to gently lift debris into interior bins without causing it to sink. The paddles also push it around the pool, focusing on the downwind edges where stuff is likely to accumulate. The Solar Breeze is powered completely by the sun, and also includes a chemical dispenser to help keep the water clean (although it only cleans the surface). It’s not going to give your pool as comprehensive of a cleaning as an iRobot Verro, but it is only $500 and you don’t have to plug it in to anything.
