The Idea:
Cleaning from the Top

There are an estimated 10.4 million residential swimming pools in the United States alone – they’re part of everyday life. Maintaining a pool’s cleanliness and swim readiness poses a unique set of challenges to pool owners and those in the pool industry. Historically, instead of prevention, pool cleaning technology has focused on cleaning the bottom as a reaction to sunken and decaying debris. Why? The physical task of hand-skimming before jumping in indicates that you have to ‘earn’ your swim time.

The creation of the original Solar-Breeze, an invention which was largely drawn from the hundred-year-old concept of harbor skimmers, sought to thwart the root problem. “Could solar energy power a surface skimming robot across the water for a long period of time to effectively collect all debris before sinking?” The question, first posed in 2003, became the catalyst for the multi-year success of a new category in the pool industry – automated surface cleaning robots. Pool robots have allowed people everywhere to #DitchTheNet and bottom-cleaning equipment for good, plus save time and money.

On a Mission

To introduce all pool people to a broad line of advanced and eco-friendly pool maintenance solutions. By 2025, the electrical consumption and emissions produced by 200,000 pools will be reduced by 60%.

“Hey Siri, define pool person”

Someone who values swimming pools and swim time. Example: a pool owner, maintenance professional, supply store owner, or builder.

As a pool professional, I take care of a lot of pools. I have one that has such high tree debris in it I have considered dropping the account because it was so hard to manage. I threw a pool robot in there and wow, what a difference. This pool such a breeze to manage now.

Our pool has never been clearer or cleaner. The surface is cleaned by the pool robot which makes less work for the bottom vacuum. Our pool guy says he wishes that all of his customers had one of these.
