 
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 coloured 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.
Neither 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 of your pool 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 Many Solar Sun Rings Do I Need?
For heating we recommend enough Solar Sun Rings be purchased to cover 60% to 70% of your pools surface, ignoring the small triangles between the rings. One benefit of Solar Sun Rings is that one size pretty much fits all, they will fit most pools and are particularly beneficial for odd shaped free form pools which can be difficult to cover with bubble type covers. Another benefit is if you decide you need/want more they can be bought individually.

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 Solar Sun 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.
