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.
Summer is a season when people are
able to get outdoors more and enjoy the warm weather. People choose to
celebrate summer in lots of different ways, like taking a vacation to
the beach, or going on a camping trip. Some people choose to simply
stay in their own backyards, lounging by the pool or having a barbecue.
While not everyone is lucky enough to be able to have their own pool,
having a swimming pool in your own back yard is a big responsibility.
You have to keep it clean and sanitary and for those that have a lot of
trees around the pool, you also have to keep it warm. And the best way
to do that is to use solar sun rings.
Many people have invested in complicated heating systems for their
pool if they live in a climate that doesn't get scorching hot, or if
they plan on doing a lot of swimming at night. These systems can waste
energy and end up costing a lot of money. You might even start
wondering why you installed this pool in the first place! However,
solar sun rings are a great way to heat up the temperature of your pool
without having to spend much at all.
If you've never heard of solar sun rings before, you should know
that they are large passive solar heating devices that are created by
sealing together two sheets of UV resistant vinyl. These rings are then
set out to float around the surface of your pool. The upper layer of
the solar rings is clear, while the lower level is blue. The clear
layer absorbs and traps the sunlight while it is floating around, all
the while transferring the heat from the sun down to the lower layer
where it comes in contact with the water.
With only a couple of solar sun rings floating around your pool,
you can successfully increase the temperature of your pool without
having to spend a dime on costly heaters or heating fuel. Your family
will be able to lounge around in water that's the perfect temperature.
Because the solar rings are working all day long, most people find that
the warm water stays around long after the sun has set for the day,
prolonging the amount of time that you can spend in your pool! If you
want to have the most comfortable pool in your entire neighborhood,
consider adding solar sun rings to your pool care kit.
