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 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?
We recommend enough Solar 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 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.
INFLATION
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 in
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.
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 Solar Sun 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 Solar Sun Rings clean and clear.
COOLING: Turn the Solar Sun Rings over so the blue side is up.
The Solar Sun Rings do not heat water efficiently when upside down.
WATER AND CHEMICAL SAVING: Neither water nor chemicals can
evaporate through the two layers of heavyweight vinyl. You will save on water
and chemicals about equal to the actual percentage of water covered. |
