The automatic solar-powered robotic pool cleaner Ariel. Tempe Arizona based Solar Breeze is a solar-powered and eco-friendly pool cleaning solutions manufacturer. Ariel is the latest evolution of pool robots that cleans swimming pools by combining the power of solar and intelligent technology. The robot covers the entire pool collecting debris without human intervention.
As per Solar Breeze, layers of dust and debris that loom on the surface of the pool can be cleaned by deploying the Ariel unit in the pool. By turning her on the robot effortlessly maneuvers to remove up to 95% of dirt, leaves, pollen, dust, hair, oil, and more before the debris decays and shrinks to the bottom.

The automatic solar-powered robotic pool cleaner Ariel reduces the maintenance work of its owners by having a net-free world, fewer bacteria and algae growth, less filtration and sanitization needs, and less pool pump runtime.
The pool is always ready for use (swimming) with minimal effort and having the robot clean the pool can reduce the pool pump time by 60% This makes the robot energy efficient and reduces energy cost since it is powered by solar power. Also, reducing the pool pump time can reduce the environmental impact of having and maintaining a swimming pool.

“Automated surface cleaning is becoming recognized throughout the pool industry as a critical part of pool maintenance and greatly contributes to having a clean and healthy swimming pool,” said Paul Sim, Vice President of Pivot-Solar Breeze. “Ariel is the culmination of years of engineering and consumer feedback to produce the quintessential, future-focused pool cleaning device that brings a whole new level of intelligence, beauty, and performance to the robotic surface cleaning category.”
The original robot Solar-Breeze was launched in 2011. Since then, the Solar-Breeze NX and Solar-Breeze NX2 have become very popular among pool owners in different countries.
“Ariel by Pivot-Solar Breeze is a MUST for any pool owner,” said Michael Angle, a demo unit recipient. “It gobbles up dirt, leaves, pollen, dust, hair, insects, oil, and more – anything that lands in my pool! The hours I used to spend skimming my surface are now the hours I spend relaxing or jumping right in. I love my pool again!”
Following are the features of the new Solar Breeze Ariel
- Mesh filter collects and retains particles down to 200 microns in size
- Debris collection chamber that holds twice the volume of a normal skimmer basket
- Simple removal from pool with no-slip handle
- Easy to empty debris and clean the unit
- Rechargeable battery that powers the unit after the sun goes down
- Solar panels that produce enough power to run the unit and charge the battery during the day
- Sensors that detect obstructions and light up at night
- No chords or hoses attached
- Covers the surface of an average pool every 1.5 hours
- Functions in temperatures ranging from 40° to 130°F
- Can withstand water salinity of 6,500 ppm
Following are the latest updates in Ariel compared to the previous versions Solar-Breeze NX2:
- The front bumper wheels have been eliminated along with all of the mechanical systems that went with them.
- The rear paddlewheel has been split so that there not two independently operating paddle wheels at the rear of the unit, which allows the unit to steer.
- There are also now sensors located where the front bumper wheels that will help the unit detect when it is approaching the edge of the pool or any other obstruction!
