Solar Sun Rings
 Solar
Sun Rings use the sun's free energy to increase your pool or spa temperature
by an average of one-half degree per day. The clear top side attracts
the sunlight and the blue underside transfers the heat into the pool
or spa.
This unique new product is easy to put on and easy to take off. And there's no need for a solar reel with its unique design. Magnets spaced along the outer perimeter attach the Solar Sun Rings together. This is much safer than standard solar covers as the magnets easily come apart if someone falls into the pool. Automatic pool cleaners remain unhampered and work beneath the Solar Sun Rings, so there is no need to remove them while cleaning. Each ring is five-feet in diameter. Buy one for a spa or several for a pool. It is recommended to cover approximately 70% of the pool with Solar Sun Rings for maximum effect (some direct sunlight to your pool water is helpful to prevent algae growth). Made of UV-resistant poly vinyl. Two-year limited manufacturer's warranty. Solar Sun Rings are non-returnable. Defective pieces will be replaced. For a limited time only, plain blue Solar Sun
Rings are available!
Simply request "plain blue rings" in the comments field of your order.
*If you live in a high wind area, the Australia version of Solar Sun Rings is recommended. These solar sun rings have a water anchor system so that they will stay on your pool when the wind is blowing. 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. 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. Neither water nor pool chemicals can evaporate through the 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, Sun Rings may be turned over to conserve water by limiting evaporation without significantly heating the water. How Many Solar Sun Rings Do I Need? We recommend enough Sun Rings be purchased to cover 70% to 80% of your pools surface, ignoring the small triangles between the rings. Are Solar Sun Rings Compatible With My Pool? Solar Sun Rings may be used on all chlorine or salt water system pools, whether in ground or above ground. How Do I Clean My Solar Sun Rings? After removal from the swimming pool, Solar Sun Rings can be easily cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent solution. Solar Sun Rings Help Your Pool Stay Clean Your pool requires some direct sunlight and open water to stay healthy. The open water around the raft of Solar Sun Rings and the triangle caused by the convergence of three 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. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE INFLATION
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 the
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 Rings clean and clear. 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
the Solar Sun Rings or drag the 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. WARRANTY 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. |
Inner
Grid: 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. Close the valve. Bunch up the SSR
and move the contained air around to separate both layers of plastic.
The SSR cannot be made to lie flat unless the layers are separated.
The SSR should be about the size of a soccer ball when bunched up.
Outer Ring:
Inflate the outer ring orally until it is firm. Close the valve. Place
each SSR single layer in direct sunlight on a flat non-abrasive surface
until the packing lines relax. This should take from 30 minutes to
3 hours depending on the intensity of the sun. If the SSR does not
lie flat after the packing lines are relaxed, examine the SSR for
areas not separated. If the SSR still does not lie flat measure the
diameter. A properly inflated SSR is 59 inches or 149.86cm Distorted
Inflationin diameter. If the SSR 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.
