Well, I finally got bored and made a time lapse video of our Solar Breeze NX. 16+ hours squished down to 2 minutes. It's still working good after a year of use, but have my fingers crossed that it will last a few more. Maybe I'll make another video in the fall when it really gets a workout...

I had a weird trapezoid shaped area where I wanted to put ours, finally decided to frame it myself, 6x6 columns, 6x12 beams, trusses with metal roof. Basically 16' wide, 15' long on one side, and 23' on the other. Cost about $7,000 in materials, and lots of my cheap labor. I priced...

The most comfortable patio sofa set I've ever sat on, but so dang expensive! The OW Lee Monterra series, which has a nice high back.

I got my NX last October just in time for the fall season. I must have lucked out and got a good one, since I've had no problems so far. The skimmer still does the bulk the work, as mentioned above. I run mine 5 hours a day, 10 to 3. But when the skimmer is off the NX is still our there...

Built a small storage shed to keep out of the weather when not in use. Also serves as water testing table.
