Harness the Power of the Sun for a Cleaner Pool

Maintaining a clean pool doesn’t always require cords, hoses, or constant effort. With solar-powered pool skimmers, you can keep your water surface free of leaves, insects, pollen, and debris—all while using renewable solar energy. These innovative devices float across your pool, collecting debris before it sinks, reducing strain on your filter, and cutting down on manual cleaning.
