Solar sun rings

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.
At night the contained air acts as an insulating blanket to retain heat gained during daylight. The Solar Sun Rings can increase the temperature of your swimming pool water 4 ºC in 3 days.

Solar Sun Rings were designed to be compatible with all other pool accessories. Solar Sun Rings may be used on all chlorine or salt water system pools, whether in ground or above ground pools.

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.
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.

How Many Solar Sun Rings Do I Need?

Solar Sun Rings are 1.5m in diameter. We recommend 70% to 80% coverage for most efficient thermal heating and retention.

The chart on the right will help you to pick the right number of rings for your pool.
Simply select your pool width in meters on the top row and your pool length on the left column and the point where they meet is the number of Solar Sun Rings that are recommended for your pool.

Example: The grey section is for a 8 m x 4m pool. The number of Solar Sun Rings required would be 10
