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 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 lower blue layer. The blue layer absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. At night the contained air acts as an insulating blanket that retains heat gained during the day. The rings generate up to 21,000 BTUs per day and also prevent water and pool chemicals from evaporating.
The rings are connected to each other with magnets, leaving small open spaces between each ring to allow direct sunlight to go through. The strength of the magnets permits single position removal as well as easy separation to prevent entrapment in accidental falls.
Solar Sun Rings™ may be used on all chlorine or salt water system pools, whether in ground or above ground. Common accessories such as pool cleaners and leaf catchers are able to operate normally. They are also compatible with solar panel systems giving a pool a double shot of the sun's energy during the day and great nighttime insulation. It is recommended to cover up to 80% of the pool's surface, ignoring the small triangles between the rings. Each Solar Sun Ring™ is 60 inches (5 Feet) wide, which is the size that most adults can hold individually. No bulky reel or tools are required for application. With the rafting magnets attached, each Solar Sun Ring™ can be applied one by one, side by side in a matter of minutes, minimizing the need for multiple people for application and reducing trouble overall.
