Solar Sun Rings come with a three-year limited manufacturer's warranty
Solar Sun Rings are a passive solar swimming pool heating device. Made from 2 sheets of heavyweight U.V. resistant vinyl, the upper clear layer directs the suns rays onto the bottom blue layer that absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance of the sunlight passes through for deep water heating.
Sun Rings are inflatable, 60" in diameter and should cover about 70% to 80% of your pools surface. This allows the open areas of your pool to receive direct sunlight, greatly reducing the occurrence of mustard algae. Each unit contains 6 magnets that are used to attach the rings together. The latest version, which is what we offer, includes water anchors to keep the sun rings from being blown off the water's surface by the wind. The water anchor is an additional segmented overlapping channel, which fills with water. It is also self-emptying when manually removed from the pool. However, in strong winds the horizontal lifting closes the overlapping segments retaining the water for weight and stability.
Solar Sun Rings are easy to remove and can be stacked when not in use. However, do not store in direct sunlight as this will ruin the sun rings. When your pool water has reached the desired temperature simply turn the Solar Sun Rings over to conserve water by limiting evaporation without significantly heating the water.
Note: Do not over inflate. Do not use as a floatation device. Solar Sun Rings come with a three-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
How do Solar Sun Rings work?
Solar Sun Rings are made from two sheets of heavyweight UV resistant vinyl. The top-side clear layer directs the suns rays onto the bottom blue layer, which absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts this energy into heat. The balance of the sunlight passes through the sun rings for deep water heating.
At night the Solar Sun Rings act as an insulating blanket to retain heat gained during daylight. Solar Sun Rings are equipped with six magnets to improve clarity and decrease hardness of the water in your pool. The magnets are positioned to facilitate rafting. The strength of the magnets will permit single position removal but will easily separate to prevent entrapment if an accidental fall into the pool occurs.
- Solar Sun Rings were designed to be compatible with automatic pool cleaners. In the event the suction hose catches on a ring, the ring will separate from the raft to allow the pool cleaner to continue.
- Neither water nor pool chemicals can evaporate through the Solar Sun Rings two layers of heavy weight vinyl. You will save water and chemicals about equal to the percentage of the surface of your pool covered.
- Once the water in your pool has reached adequate temperature, Solar Sun Rings may be turned over to conserve water by limiting evaporation without significantly heating the water.
Your pool requires some direct sunlight and open water to stay healthy. The open water around the raft of Solar Sun Rings and the triangles caused by the convergence of three Solar Sun Rings is by design. These open areas allow your pool to receive some direct sunlight. This sunlight will greatly reduce the incidence of mustard algae.
