Solar Sun Rings

Solar Sun Rings are not just a solar cover they are a solar heating system Solar Sun Rings produce 21,500 BTU per Ring per day - that is the same heat produced by Solar Panels but at a fraction of the cost  Solar Sun Rings are safer to use than normal solar covers: - greatly reduces chance of entrapment Solar Sun Rings can be left on when using an automatic pool cleaner, unlike solar covers Solar Sun Rings helps stop the build up of yellow algae (phaeophyta) Solar Sun Rings look fantastic Solar Sun Rings are easy to take off the pool owing to their patented magnetic rafting design. Easily quickly installed or removed by one person. Solar Sun Rings are a must for your swimming pool in the UK because of their excellent heat generation and retention properties Solar Sun Rings are perfect for your swimming pool abroad because they are easy to take with you in a suitcase Every now and then a new product hits the market that just blows away all of the competition. Solar Sun Rings is just that product. Old-fashioned Solar Covers are effective in retaining heat on swimming pools and producing some heat, but if you ask a solar cover manufacturer how much heat a solar cover produces, as we have, they will generally tell you one of three things: They do not know They cannot quantify it or most amazingly of all They do not produce heat at all but just allow the sun to heat the pool.

Well Solar Sun Rings are a bit different. The manufacturers of Solar Sun Rings know exactly what their product does and how many BTUs it produces, possibly because it works so well. (click here for PDF of Test Results from U.S. National Pool Industry Resach Centre)

How Do Solar Sun Rings Work?
The Top Blue Layer absorbs 50% of the sunlight and converts that into heat, the other 50% is allowed to pass through for deep water heating.

Each Solar Sun Ring can produce over 21,000 BTU per day giving an output of 1070 BTU per sq ft. A top of the range Swimming Pool Solar Heater will only produce 1000 BTU per square foot of collector and you still need a solar cover is still to conserve the heat at night.

How Do I Remove The Solar Sun Rings From My Swimming Pool?
Each Solar Sun Ring has six magnets around its circumference that connect to other Solar Sun Rings to automatically form a raft. These magnets create a strong enough bond to allow easy removal of the Solar Sun Rings in one complete raft by one person.

How Many Solar Sun Rings Will I Need?
Each Solar Sun Ring measures 5ft across when inflated and coverage of 70-80% of the swimming pool surface is the maximum recommended in the UK. If you are using them on your swimming pool at your holiday home in sunnier climes then reduce the number down to around 60% . The Solar Sun Rings have been designed to allow maximum heat production while still allowing your swimming pool to breathe. 

A free-form swimming pool approximately 20 x 12 will need only 7 Solar Sun Rings at a cost ofless than  £210.  If the same heat was to be produced by swimming pool solar heating panels you would need to spend approximately £800 on the Solar Heating, another £130 on a quality solar cover and up to £300 on a reel system for the solar cover. As you can see the savings using Solar Sun Rings are immense.

Why Are Solar Sun Rings Safer Than A Solar Cover?
One of the biggest fears for any pool owner is the worry of a child or a pet drowning. No other floating solar cover matches Solar Sun Rings design for safety. Countless pets and many people have died because of entrapment with the one-piece solar covers. The primary design criteria of Solar Sun Rings was to prevent entrapment.  With the Solar Sun Rings they are held together in a raft by six magnets that will hold the solar sun rings as a single raft on the pool but the Solar Sun Rings will pull apart if any thing falls in allowing easy access to the side of the pool and safety.

Can I Use My Automatic Pool Cleaner While The Solar Sun Rings Are On The Swimming Pool?
Solar Sun Rings are 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.

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.If loads of FREE HEAT for your swimming pool is what you require then Solar Sun Rings are for you.

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 both mustard algae and increased alkalinity.
