Hi All - I was hoping to get some input on the solar breeze unit (https://www.solar-breeze.com/). We just finished our pool about a month ago and we have come to the stark realization that we have a full time job on our hands cleaning our pool here in central texas. We have a few acres and probably over 1000 trees (oaks, cedar, etc) and the wind blows a lot. This makes a constant supply of leaves and tree debris that all end up right in our new pool and make the top water line look terrible. The pool skimmer doesnt quite keep up (at all really). Manually skimming is a 2-3x /day job if you want it to keep on top of it. I ran across the solar breeze skimming robot that appears to handle this exact task. Its around $500, so its not cheap, but if it makes our pool life a lot better that would be worth it. It seems like you just set it and forget it and empty the bin every so often, but I'm not sure if thats the reality. If it can stay in the pool "on" all the time, then it seems like it would be worth it. If you have to go out, set it up each day, then put it back up each night, then its just trading 1 task for another one. Any experiences or thoughts on this type of device?
Thanks,
JD
