choose to wash out the inside of the debris collection using a low-pressure stream from 
a garden hose.  DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER TO CLEAN THE SOLAR-BREEZE.  Re-
assemble the tray, screen and mesh, and slide it back into the Solar-Breeze.  Place the 
unit back in the pool and turn the switch to the “ON” position.

Adding Chlorine Tablets to the Dispenser 

To add chlorine tablets to the chemical dispenser, slide the chlorine dispenser out of the 
side of the Solar-Breeze.  Add two (2) jumbo 3” chlorine tablets to the dispenser.  

Never 

use more the two (2) jumbo 3” chlorine tablets in the chlorine dispenser at one time.  
Using more than two (2) chlorine tablets may prevent the Solar-Breeze from backing 
up properly when in reverse navigation mode.  

Slide the dispenser back into the Solar-

Breeze.  Place the unit back in the pool and turn the switch to the “ON” position.  With 
chlorine tablets in the dispenser, the Solar-Breeze can now clean AND sanitize your pool 
at the same time.

Maintaining Buoyancy 

After several days or weeks of operation, water may accumulate in some areas of the 
apparatus where it cannot escape.  This may impact the operation of the unit.  
Symptoms of such water-logging may include: 

 

Unit moves more slowly through the water. 

 

Debris is pushed in front of the unit rather than being pulled into the collection area. 

 

Unit does not reverse properly when it goes into a reverse navigation. 

When these symptoms occur, simply remove the Solar-Breeze from the pool and set it 
in a vertical position on its end (label towards the ground) facing the sun for a half day.  
This will allow it to dry, and will also allow the Solar-Breeze to gain a full charge.  The 
unit should resume normal operation when it is placed back in the pool.
