Solar Sun Rings - Solar Heating

A New & Innovative Solar Heating Device!

Solar Sun Rings are a passive solar heating device for your swimming pool that can also cool your pool water & reduce its hardness! Solar Sun Rings are made from two layers of heavyweight UV-resistant vinyl. The clear upper layer holds insulating air and focuses sunlight on the blue colored layer below. The blue layer absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance of the sunlight passes through the Rings for deep-water heating. Once the water in your pool has reached the desired temperature, Solar Sun Rings may be turned over to continue conserving water and chemicals (by limiting evaporation), without significantly heating the water any further. Then at night, Solar Sun Rings can act as an insulating blanket, retaining the warmth gained during daylight hours.

• Incredibly efficient heating energy, FREE from the sun!
• Heats & cools pool water, plus decreases hardness
• Much more effective than conventional solar blankets
• Innovative design prevents entrapment during use
• Easy to use, store & clean
• Compatible with automatic pool cleaners
• Saves on water & chemicals

Solar Sun Rings are designed to be joined together, to form a blanket that covers between 70-80% of your water’s surface when the pool’s not in use. Why only 70-80%? Your pool requires some direct sunlight and open water in order for the water to remain healthy. The open water outside the blanket of Solar Sun Rings, as well as the triangles caused by the convergence of Solar Sun Rings, is by design. These open areas allow your pool to receive some direct sunlight, greatly reducing the incidence of mustard algae.

Each Solar Sun Ring features six magnets positioned around the perimeter, which are used to attach multiple Rings together. These magnets also act to improve your pool water’s clarity and decrease hardness. The strength of the magnets allows you to easily remove attached Rings together (as you would with a conventional solar blanket), but the Rings easily separate to prevent entrapment in accidental falls. Each Solar Sun Ring is 5 ft. (60") in diameter, and generates 21,000 BTU per day!

One Ring is $34.99. Buy 5 or more at $29.99 each!

Here’s a few more reasons why you should choose Solar Sun Rings:

Safety - No other floating solar cover matches Solar Sun Rings design for safety… the primary design objective was to prevent accidental entrapment.

Durability - High quality, UV-resistant vinyl (polyvinyl chloride) outlasts polyethylene 3 to 1, and is not destroyed by pH fluctuation, high chlorine concentration or salt water systems. Also, vinyl is very easily repaired if accidentally punctured.

Solar Efficiency - Solar Sun Rings were designed to safely heat swimming pools, not to cushion packages. The solar efficiency of Solar Sun Rings greatly surpasses bubble pack solar blankets. The inferior plastic in conventional covers reflects much of the sun's energy, and doesn’t allow adequate deep-water heating. The effect is that Solar Sun Rings - with 70% to 80% coverage - outperform bubble pack covers with 100% coverage!

Prevents Mustard Algae - The 100% pool coverage and inefficient heating associated with bubble-pack covers creates additional problems, too. By blocking all direct sunlight, mustard algae will form in your pool within a very short time, meaning you simply cannot use a traditional solar blanket continuously. Solar Sun Rings, however, with their increased solar efficiency & 70-80% coverage, are designed for continuous use without culturing a pool full of mustard algae!

Compatible with your Pool Equipment - Solar Sun Rings are designed to be compatible with automatic pool cleaners. Solar Sun Rings are also compatible with solar panel systems, giving your pool a double shot of the sun's energy during the day, and great nighttime insulation.

Easy Placement & Removal - Solar Sun Rings were designed for handling by one person.

Easy to Clean - The five foot diameter of each ring also allows for much easy cleaning than with traditional solar blankets. Cleaning is easy, too. After removing Rings from the swimming pool, they can be easily cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent solution.

Warranty - Solar Sun Rings are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for two years. Warranty is limited to materials and workmanship

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Inflation: The inner grid of each Ring should be inflated orally with only about 2 large breaths of air, for an average adult. Don't use more air - two breaths is all that's needed. Close the valve, "bunch up" the Rings to move the contained air around, and to separate both layers of plastic - the Ring cannot lie flat unless the layers are separated. Each Ring will be about the size of a soccer ball when "bunched" up. The outer ring should be inflated orally until it is firm. Close the valve, and the place Rings in a single layer (do not stack) in direct sunlight on a flat, non-abrasive surface until the packing lines relax. This will take approximately 10-30 minutes depending on the intensity of the sun. If the Ring does not lie flat after packing lines are relaxed, examine the Ring for areas where the layers of plastic are not separated & "bunch up" again. If the Ring still doesn't lie flat, measure the diameter. A properly inflated Ring is 60 inches in diameter. If the Ring is smaller than 60", use the deflation tube (provided) to remove air from the inner grid until the Ring lies flat. Excessive air in the inner grid, deep packing lines and failure to separate the two layers may all cause the outer edge of the Ring to curl and distort.

Using Solar Sun Rings for Heating Your Pool Water: Once the Rings are inflated, cover 70% - 80% of the surface of your pool with Rings, by placing the blue colored side on the water. Do not cover more than 70% of the surface (for deep pools); or more than 80% (for shallow pools). For the best solar effect, keep the upper surface clean and clear.

Using Solar Sun Rings for Cooling Your Pool Water: Turn the Rings over so that the blue side is face-up. Rings do not heat efficiently when turned upside down in this manner, but will instead keep direct sunlight off your pool's surface.

Using Solar Rings for Chemical & Water Savings: Water and chemicals cannot evaporate through the two layers of heavyweight vinyl. You will save on water & chemicals in proportion to the percentage of pool surface covered, and the length of time Solar Sun Rings are in use on your pool.

Care of Solar Sun Rings: Once inflated, proper care of your Solar Sun Rings will greatly extend their useful life. While Rings are not in the pool, do not walk on them or drag them - especially on abrasive surfaces such as pool decking. Due to their thermal and insulating properties, Solar Sun Rings must be stored out of direct sunlight when they are removed from the pool, to prevent overheating & melting of vinyl films. Do not use Solar Sun Rings as pool toys.
