What Are Solar Sun Rings

The Solar Sun Ring is a passive  solar swimming pool heating device made from two  sheets of heavyweight U.V. resistant vinyl. The  upper clear layer holds insulating air and focuses  sunlight on the blue colored lower layer.

 The blue layer absorbs about 50%  of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance  of the sunlight is allowed to pass through for  deep water heating.

 How Do Solar  Sun Rings Work?

 At night the contained air acts  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  in accidental falls.

 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. Solar Sun Rings Pool ExampleNeither water nor pool chemicals can evaporate through the Solar Sun Rings two layers of heavyweight vinyl. You will save water and chemicals about equal to the percentage of the surface 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.

 

 

 HOW TO USE THE  SOLAR SUN RINGS

HEATING: Once the Solar Sun  Rings are inflated, cover up to 70% to 80%  of the surface of your pool with Solar Sun  Rings by placing the blue colored side on  the water. You should not cover more than  70% of the surface on deep pools and not more  than 80% on shallow pools. For the best solar  effect, keep the upper surface of the Solar  Sun Rings clean and clear.
COOLING: Turn the Solar Sun Rings over so the blue  side is up. The Solar Sun Rings do not heat  water efficiently when upside down.
WATER  AND CHEMICAL SAVING: Neither water  nor chemicals can evaporate through the two  layers of heavyweight vinyl. You will save  on water and chemicals about equal to the  actual percentage of water covered.
 

CARE OF SOLAR  SUN RINGS

CARE: Once inflated proper  care of this product will greatly extend its  useful life. Pool decking is designed to be  abrasive to prevent slips and falls. Do not  walk on Solar Sun Rings or drag Solar Sun  Rings on this abrasive surface. When Solar  Sun Rings are not on the pool water do not  stack them in direct sunlight, excessive internal  temperatures will develop and melt the vinyl  films.
Solar Sun Rings are passive pool heating devices  and should not be used as pool toys.

WARRANTY: Solar Sun Rings  are warranted to be free of manufacturing  defects for two years. Warranty is limited  to materials and workmanship. Solar Sun Rings  will not warranty products for damage or suitability
