SolaSkimmer Solar-powered Swimming Pool Skimmer
This is the SolaSkimmer Solar-Powered

The SolaSkimmer is
design to be very simple and basic. There are no apps that control it
and the design is overall very simple. The two paddles rotate in the
water and move the cleaner along and debris is drawn in and is
trapped by the debris tray along the bottom. Simple yet very
effective. This design allows the SolaSkimmer to move very slowly
around your pool making it highly effective in picking up the tiniest
of debris. It will trap very small bugs like ants as well as pick up
large leaf debris.
I like the simple
design of this cleaner. As it approaches a corner or a pool edge the
infrared sensors will detect the edge and a jet in front will
activate. This jet of water will spin the cleaner and thus keeping it
from getting stuck. I found that these sensors were very effective in
detecting the pool edge and the cleaner did not get stuck anywhere in
the pools I tested it in.
It is better to
run the SolaSkimmer with the pool pump off. This will prevent the
cleaner from getting hung up in the skimmer as the pump draws water
in. This will also allow you to maximize your pools skimming time as
the cleaner will skim the pool all day and you can run the pump at
night to continue skimming with the pool's skimmer. If you have a
variable speed pump the SolarSkimmer will allow you to run your pump
at a lower speed for longer periods of time and will help reduce your
energy cost.
The gray color
scheme is also very nice and will be perfect for those pools with
darker colored plaster. It is also very easy to put in your pool and
remove from the pool when you want to go swimming. To start the
cleaner just hit the very simple silver button. This button will also
turn the cleaner off. The gray color scheme is also very nice and
will be perfect for those pools with darker colored plaster.
It only takes
about 4 hours of direct Sunlight to fully charge the SolaSkimmer or
if you like you can plug it in and charge it. I think it is a great
option to be able to charge the cleaner on cloudy days or those long
Winter days without sunshine. This is also a great option f your pool
remains in the shade most of the day.
Bottom line, this
is a great affordable Solar-Powered pool surface cleaner that you
will be very happy with. You can purchase it directly from their
website or from Costco.com.
