Why not go the liquid CYA route? Immediate application and sold in gallon jugs! Will bring up your CYA immediately, as in as soon as you pour it in!

Dallasaggie, good decision....I have had the Solar Breeze version 2 for about 5 years now. It has its shortcomings! It gets stuck all the times when the water is slightly above normal (like now with all this rain). Also with all these clouds it has not been able to charge. I wrote to the CEO...

I would like to see the option of charging it via a plug. You stated yourself did not charge good the first day due to clouds. Well there needs to be a secondary way to charge this thing if you get consecutive days of clouds. There are a few surface skimmers on the market that allow you to...

+ 1 on the Aqua Comb!

I have the 2nd version, the NX as well and this is the one that I have picked apart from day 1! I have also sent it back to solar breeze twice for maintenance/repairs and I stand by my observations...The latest software has been added during the maintenance and worn out parts replaced. using it...

What I tell ya! Solar Breeze not ready for prime time....Yet!

Yea get synthetic turf, I got some around my pool to replace real turf that never grew well, its great. Only drawback is its price, 5 times the price of real turf or other material but once you have it you will love it!

Polaris robots are just as good as the dolphin's. I have both (a 94 and a dolphin triton) and I feel the Polaris cleans better, stronger suction on the vacuum side (my opinion) and the ability to adjust the time its running vs a set time on the dolphin triton. Don't second guess your choice you...

I sure hope it holds up better than my Solar Breeze did! After only 2 years it started to have problems. The Solar Breeze, in my opinion, is only a fair product. It never cleaned the leaves from the side of the pool (always had to manually skim those), it got stuck in my skimmer openings until I...

So last night I step outside in the backyard to check out the snow effects on the pool and everything is running! Waterfall, fountains, everything! I check my controller and sure enuff the freeze control had automatically turned on and started running in freeze protection mode....Nice!

Ya know, 700 for another surface skimmer with a 1 year warranty? Naw, thanks anyway. Until the units can clean the leaves off the tile line (none can do that now), until the warranty equals that of submersible robots (they don't), and until they seem more robust, this may be my last surface...

So I had to buy a new front motor. They changed the suppliers for some parts and there was a work-around for intergrating this motor to the original wiring harness. While digging around the insides of the solar breeze NX I noticed that some things just are not holding up well in the Texas sun...

You are correct sir, the unit is not water proof. It is designed to allow water to enter the pontoon (lower gray half). The working parts are however water proof, that is they can operate in a water environment. The failure, after 1 1/2 years is, in my opinion, an issue. I would imagine that the...

Mine is doing the same thing. On for seconds then stops and get the red light in the center. Called solar breeze and did some trouble shooting. They asked me to turn it over, flip it on and look at both paddles front and rear. On mine only the rear turned. Tech said both should be turning. They...

I'm thinking mineral along the lines of calcium. Here in Austin we had lots of rain and my flagstone wall dripped down some white stuff onto my tiles in a few places. Just took a wet pumice stone to the tile and some of the flagstone mortar and got rid of it.

you would have to punch really, really hard with the aqua comb to rip the filter material. I utilize the comb and the spray to fish out all the dirt and material within the filter. It has never ripped the filter.

I use aqua-comb. Its not gonna get it spotless but cleans better than just hose.

We went with A&S in Austin Texas. They built us a fine pool! Don't worry about the quality just ask all the questions you can think of!

I have the solar breeze nx, I would rate it fair. I live in Austin Texas, lots of sun, but it does not run 12-15 hours even with direct sun. It does a fair job of picking up stuff, better than nothing but not perfect. I still have to skim manually along the tile line, the solar breeze does not...

Re: Central Texas Live Oak Pollen I live in Austin and the pool is surrounded by live oak. I have had the pump running higher for longer just to keep the skimming action going. Have had to run the robot every day to get the stuff falling to the bottom. Have had to manually skim with net 2 or 3...

I have had the solar breeze NX for a little less than a year. I use it year round. It does run less in the winter due to less time spent in the sun. I did have to send it back to solar breeze, under warrantee, to get some issues repaired. Those issues included: It would cut short its forward...

I am a sole proprietor LLC and my spouse works full time and we use turbo tax home and business to do our tax's. My former CPA wanted to charge over 1200.00 to do my combined business/home tax's. She charged 100.00 extra per schedule! On top of the tax owed the federal gov I had to pay over...

I have the 9450 and I like it. I wish I had the 9550 for the remote as there are times I only need to clean a section and I cannot do that with the 9450. But I can program it to run manually (outside of the preset programs) from 1/2 hour to 3 1/2 hours. The lack of a swivel has not been a...

I think your spa is too small for a robot to be useful, I use my rechargeable vacuum, the pool blaster for my spa, cleans it great!

I have the Polaris 9450 (the one without the remote). The cord does get twisted while in the pool but in my 40ft by 16ft pool it has never been a problem! There is 60ft of cord and it can reach to both ends and across with no problem. It is a great cleaning tool, I have large oak leaves and...

We use a mosquito control company called barefoot mosquito. I was skeptical at first but the service works. Expensive though at 100 per month but it does control what was an uncontrollable problem before.

To correct the "stuck in the skimmer problem" in my pool I ordered two suction cups and strung clear fishing line between the cups. What you see is a horizontal line across the skimmer. The solar breeze bounces into the line and either moves left or right or reverses in 4 mins. It works and does...

The solar breeze gets stuck many times in one of my skimmers. The reverse action is not strong enough to get it out. If I don't remove it from the skimmer it just stays there until the battery runs down. That's some powerful skimmer! Still working better now that the suns out and rocks are...

I took the rocks out of the puck tray. They were in there to weigh down the device because the pool had filled up due to excessive rain. Once the rocks were out the solar breeze reversed better. The rocks were blocking the flow of water thru the robot. It still gets stuck from time to time...

I have a Polaris 9450. I think this unit is great! I have used it since opening the pool in April 2016. My cord does not tangle (much) and when it does it has not caused problems for the unit. The cord does not have a swivel, true, but that has not caused a problem with my unit. The Polaris 9450...
