Solar Rings are inflatable discs made of ultraviolet resistant vinyl, designed to float on the top of a pool. Solar Rings have two layers, an upper clear layer and a lower blue layer. The upper layer is designed to hold insulating air, and also to direct sunlight into the bottom blue layer. The blue layer uses about half of the sunlight directed to it to produce heat, while the other half of the sunlight passes through and heats the bottom area of the pool. Once the pool has been heated, the insulating air in the top layer of the Solar Ring helps to keep the pool warm overnight.

What are the main advantages of solar pool heating?
The main advantage of solar pool heating is that it is less expensive than an electrical heater, and doesn't require any significant installation. It is also environmentally friendly.
We have been told that solar rings are as good as solar heat do you no whether this is true as we want to buy 7 for our 18' above ground pool?
With that grade of a small pool your best bet would be the solar rings. The cost for solar would be far more than 20 times greater than the cost the pool and equipment itself.
What is the evaporation rate of a solar pool heating system on a swimming pool?
Approx. 1.5" to 2" per wk.
Diagram of solar heating for inground pool?
A diagram of solar heating for an inground pool typically includes a solar collector, which is often mounted on the roof or in a sunny area. Water from the pool is pumped through the collector, where it absorbs heat from the sun before returning to the pool. The system may include a filter, a pump, and a thermostat to regulate temperature. This eco-friendly method uses solar energy to maintain a comfortable swimming temperature while reducing heating costs.
Where can I find a list of dealers who install solar pool heating?
A list of dealers that install solar systems in your area--at least one of them advertises pool heating systems in particular--can be found here: http://www.solarpowerdirectory.com/city/Ohio.html
How effective are solar rings?
Solar Sun Rings are safer and are capable of generating more heat that a solar cover. The effect is that Solar Sun Rings with 70% to 80% coverage outperform bubble pack covers with 100% coverage. cheers mark tahiliani (jm)
How many solar rings does it take to cover a pool?
That really depends on the pool size. The store selling the product will know the formula.\k
How much electricity can I save by using solar pool heaters?
Makers of solar pool heaters claim you can reduce your electric consumption for pool heating by 20 to 90%, and cutback on hot water use by 75 to 97%. They claim it is possible to completely heat your pool with solar energy alone .
How efficient is solar heating for pools?
Solar heating for pools is a smart and eco-friendly way to keep your pool water warm throughout the year. It works by using solar panels, usually installed on the roof, to collect heat from the sun. This heat is then transferred to the pool water as it circulates through the system. It’s a clean, quiet, and energy-efficient method that saves a lot on electricity costs over time. In terms of performance, solar pool heating systems are about 70–90% efficient, depending on sunlight availability, pool size, and the quality of installation. While they might take a little longer to heat up compared to electric or gas systems, they offer consistent and comfortable temperatures for most of the year. Plus, the maintenance is minimal, and the system can last 15 to 20 years, making it a great long-term investment for homeowners. If you’re looking for trusted solar heating or heat pump solutions in India, Vindsol Heat Pump is one of the leading manufacturers offering reliable and energy-efficient systems suitable for both residential and commercial pools. Other good options include Racold Thermo Pvt. Ltd., known for its advanced heating technology, and Venus Home Appliances, which also provides sustainable water and pool heating solutions. Choosing a trusted brand ensures your pool heating system runs efficiently, saves energy, and stays durable for years to come.
Why is Solar pool heating now producing black spots in water?
the rubber in the heating is degenerating because of wear.... only fix is to replace the rubber
What is needed to get heating in your home swimming pool?
The requirements to get heating in one's home swimming pool are that one must purchase a heating unit and have it installed. There are now solar and geothermal systems which provide up to 70% savings compared to traditional heaters.
What is the difference between photovoltaic solar panels and swimming pool solar panels?
This is a great questions and I will try to answer it in a short and concise way, but also, go to the link below for more information. When people think about alternative or renewable energy, the first image that comes to mind is often large blue or black solar panels on rooftops or portable highway signs that have a small panel attached. These solar panels, also known as photovoltaic modules (or PV modules), convert sunlight into electricity, and they have been the backbone of renewable energy for decades. The Photovoltaic Effect (how sunlight is converted into electrical energy) was discovered over a hundred years ago! Yet widespread implementation of this technology has been very gradual. Only in very recent years has photovoltaics gained wide popularity as an alternative way to produce electricity. Solar pool heating is the most cost-effective use of solar energy in many climates. = Solar Swimming Pool Heating = You can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a solar pool heater. They're cost-competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. Actually, solar pool heating is the most cost-effective use of solar energy in many climates. Most solar pool heating systems include the following: * A solar collector - the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun * A filter - removes debris before water is pumped through the collector * A pump - circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool * A flow control valve - automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.
