The top clear layer focuses sunlight onto the blue layer, which absorbs around 50% of the sunlight and converts it into heat. These rings are 5 feet in diameter and are designed to float on the surface of the pool, helping to retain heat at night while reducing water and chemical evaporation during the day. They feature drain grommets that prevent them from sinking. They're compatible with both salt and chlorine pools and are easy to handle, install, and remove without needing special tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolar Heating for Daytime Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solar Sun Rings® efficiently heat pool water during the day, harnessing the sun’s energy to raise water temperatures naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Blanket Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e: At night, the rings act as a thermal blanket, helping retain heat in the water and reducing the need for additional heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduces Evaporation\u003c\/strong\u003e: The rings help minimize water and chemical evaporation, contributing to overall pool maintenance savings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEncapsulated Magnets for Rafting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Built-in magnets hold the rings together, creating a rafting effect for better coverage while still allowing for easy break-apart to prevent entrapment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDurable and Easy to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: With added grommets, reinforced design, and compatibility with pool cleaners, these rings are simple to install, remove, and maintain, ensuring long-lasting use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"richTextElement\" class=\"_2Hij5 _3bcaz\" id=\"comp-l7ksnoec\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many Solar Sun Rings does my pool need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_0\"\u003eWe recommend enough Solar Sun Rings be purchased to cover up to 70% to 80% of your pools surface, ignoring the small triangles between the rings.

This result was validated by repeatedly heating 10' x 19' test pools to a maximum of 8 degrees fahrenheit in 4 days and reached plateau after that. Approximately 67% of the pool was covered with Solar Sun Rings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"richTextElement\" class=\"_2Hij5 _3bcaz\" id=\"comp-l7ksqcm1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-testid=\"richTextElement\" class=\"_2Hij5 _3bcaz\" id=\"comp-l7kswk3i\" style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_0\"\u003eCan one person apply and remove Solar Sun Rings by themselves?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_0\"\u003eEach Solar Sun Ring is 60 inches (5 Feet) wide, which is the size that most adults can hold individually.
