solar sun rings

Solar Sun Rings are a passive solar swimming pool heating device, which are constructed from 2 sheets of 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 filters through the ring down into your pool water.

Solar Sun Rings have two grids, inner and outer, that require inflation. The inner grid should be inflated orally with about two large breaths of air for an average person. Do not use more air, two breaths is all that is needed. Then close the valve, bunch up the Solar Sun Ring and move the contained air around to separate both layers of plastic. The Solar Sun Ring cannot be made to lie flat unless the layers are separated. The Solar Sun Ring should be about the size of a soccer ball when bunched up. Next the outer ring needs to be inflated. To inflate the outer ring, you need to breathe into it orally until it is firm. Place each Solar Sun Ring in a single layer in direct sunlight on a flat non-abrasive surface until the packing lines relax. This could take 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the intensity of the sun. It is important to have the Solar Sun Rings lay flat. If the Solar Sun Ring does not lie flat after the packing lines are relaxed, examine the Solar Sun Ring for areas not separated. If the Solar Sun Ring still does not lie flat measure the diameter. A properly inflated Solar Sun Ring is 59 inches in diameter. If the Solar Sun Ring is smaller use the deflation tube provided to let air out of the inner grid until it lies flat. Excessive air in the grid section, deep packing lines and failure to separate both layers of plastic will all cause the outer edge to curl and distort.

Each unit contains 6 magnets that are used to attach the rings together and now include water anchors. The water anchor is an additional segmented overlapping channel of vinyl below the outer ring. The channel is self-filling when the Solar Sun Ring is placed on the pool. 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 cleaned with a sponge and white vinegar solution. Solar Sun Rings can be stacked when not in use. Beware not to stack them in direct sunlight. The excessive internal temperatures will develop and melt the vinyl films. When your pool water has reached the desired temperature simply turn the five foot Solar Sun Rings over to conserve water by limiting evaporation without significantly heating the water.

Solar Sun Rings will cover 50% of your pool surface based on the manufacturers Ring Calculator formula. The majority of heat loss from a pool comes from the water surface at night. Solar Sun Rings do not cover the entire surface of your pool; therefore it allows heat to escape. To help keep the warm water in your pool at night we recommend you use an additional product such as solar fish or a solar blanket.

Do not over inflate. Do not use as a floatation device.

How Many Solar Sun Rings Do I Need?

We recommend enough Solar Sun Rings be purchased to cover 70% to 80%
of your pools surface, ignoring the small triangles between the rings.
