Why Choose
?
SAFETY Solar Sun Rings (SSR) were designed with safety in mind, they are made to
separate in case of an accidental fall in and are made out of 100% infant safe vinyl.
PERFORMANCE When compared with according to output per square meter, no
other passive solar heating type of device or cover matches the output of (SSR).
EASY TO USE Solar Sun Rings can be easily placed and removed by one person
within a few minutes. Once placed, they will connect together by corrosion-
proof magnets.
ECONOMICAL The proven performance and low cost of (SSR) combines for eco-
nomical pool heating requiring little or no extra maintenance or upkeep costs.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND Solar Sun Rings can heat your pool while not em-
mitting any greenhouse gases. They also leave no waste by products and are
100% recyclable.
SMART SUSTAINABLE ENERGY While utilizing the entire spectrum of sunlight
as the source of heat, (SSR) are the most energy ecient pool heating device

CONVERTED TO HEAT
GENERATED HEAT
HOW THEY WORK
Unlike conventional solar pool couers which
merely insulate and trap heat, Solar Sun Rings
are designed to actually generate heat and
transfer it to your pool.
Made from two sheets of U.V. resistant uinyl,
the upper layer holds insulating air and focuses
sunlight on the blue colored lower layer that
absorbs about 50% of sunlight and converts it
to heat. The rest of the sunlight is allowed to
pass through for deep water heating.
Once the Solar Sun Rings are inated, 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. More coverage
than 70% of the surface on deep pools and 80% on shallow pools is not necessa-
ry. Keep the upper surface of the Solar Sun Rings clean and clear for the best
solar effect.

1. The
inner grid
should be
inated
orally
with
about two large breaths of
air for an average person.
Do not use mire air, two
breaths is all that is needed.
Close the valve.
5. Close
the valve.
Place
each SSR
single
layer in
direct sunlight on a at non
abrasive surface until the
packing size relax.
2. Bunch
up the SSR
and move
contained
air around
to seperate
both layers of plastic. The
SSR cannot be made to lie
at unless the layers are
separated.
6. This
should
take
from 10
minutes
to 30
minutes depending on the
intensity of the areas not
separated.
3. The
SSR
should be
about the
size of a
soccer ball
when bunched up. Be sure the
ination valves are closed
tight to vrevent air from
escaping.
7. If the
SSR still
does not
lie at,
measure
the outer
diameter. A properly
inated SSR is 152,4cm in
diameter
4. Lay
the SSR
at and
inate
the outer
ring
orally until it is somewhat
rm. Avoid over inating
as that may cause the SSR
to warp.
8. If the
SSR is
smaller,
use the
air tube
provided
to let air out of the inner
grid until it lies at.
Proper ination is necessary to
use this product. 8 easy steps!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

9
Excessive air in the grid section, deep pa-
cking lines and failure to separate both lay-
ers of plastic will all cause the outer edge to
curl and distort. In order to prevent this, just
pay careful attention to adding the approp-
riate amount of air in each chamber. Simply
inate as instructed or if over inated, remo-
ve the excess air slightly by nding the ac-
companied air straw and inserting through
the stopper cap in the ination valve.
Proper care of this product will greatly extend its useful life, so special attention needs to be taken when stacking or
cleaning the product. Refrain from walking on Solar Sun RingsTM or from stacking on pool decking and concrete sur-
faces which are designed to be abrasive to prevent slips and falls. When Solar Sun RingsTM are not on the pool water,
refrain from stacking in direct sunlight as the product can burn whatever items that may lie underneath, including
other Solar Sun Rings. In order to clean or if you begin to notice scale or scum buildup on Solar Sun Rings TM, simply
mix a solution of water, pine cleaner, and vinegar and mix it well in a bottle. Clean your rings by wiping o residue on a
monthly basis with this solution to ensure the best performance, appearance and longevity.

CARE OF SOLAR SUN RINGS

10
STORAGE DURING SWIMMING
• Solar Sun Rings may be removed and stacked on a completely shaded
crea, free from any sunlight throughout the day. Any surface where Solar
Sun Rings are placed must be smooth and non abrasive. Placing thom over
grass, plants, or soil is not recommended.
• If necessary, Solar Sun Rings may be folded into quarters (fold in half
once, then fold again). Deation of the outer ring or the inner grid will not
be necessary.
• Solar Sun Rings may also be hung by the attached loop on a non abrasive
hook beside a non abrasive surface beneath a completely shaded area. They
must also be hung at least 2 inches away from any external heat source such
as a light or an outdoor heater.
STORAGE GUIDE The following are guidelines to storing your Solar
Sun Rings for maximum performance an lifespan

11
STORAGE DURING THE WINTER, OFF SEASON
• If local temperatures remain over 35° Fahrenheit (2° Celsius), then keeping Solar Sun Rings on the pool can be possi-
ble, but occasional cleaning of the rings may be necessary. If this method is preferred, deation of the outer ring or the
inner grid will not be necessary. Storing them under a winter cover on the pool is not recommended.
• If local temperatures are less than 35° (2° Celsius), or if storage away from the pool is preferred, then Solar Sun
Rings may be stored away for long periods of time. First, deate the outer ring and the inner grid by inserting the sup-
plied deation stems in the valves until no air is present, then completely clean, dry, and fold the rings as mentioned on
the previous page. Place the Solar Sun Rings in a non abrasive and sealed container that will not be deformed or altered
over a long period of time or one that may have openings which would allow for sunlight to seep in. The container may
be placed in a cool and dry place such as a storage shed or a garage. Leaving the container outdoors or in an area ex-
posed to the elements must be avoided and is not recommended. Solar Sun Rings must also be stored in a way where no
sunlight can reach them as the product may still function as intended and begin to generate heat during storage.
• After storage over a long period of time, make sure Solar Sun Rings™ are warmed up to room temperature. The
Solar Sun Rings may be opened individually and be inated according to the Ination Instructions provided with each
ring. You may also nd these instructions within this guide in pages 8 and 9. Folding creases will relax and fade under
sucient sun exposure within 15 to 3o minutes. Once proper care is maintained and instructions are followed, your
Solar Sun Rings will perform as designed, generating heat for your pool.

SUN BURN
What to look for: Brown spots developing on top layer. Grey charred areas
that feel hard and crack when folded or when touched.
Causes: Burning caused by overlappiug over other rings or from stacking in
direct sunlight.
Prevention: Connect rings with magnets on corners and refrain from over-
lapping. Store in a cool and fully shaded area with no direct sunlight.
OVER INFLATION
What to look for: Round pillow top look to surface. Curling or waving of
outer ring Little or no heat produced.
Causes: Inner grid and/or outer ring are over inated causing inadequate
contact with water.
Prevention: Insert deation stem on valve until defalted to correct size.
Please refer to instructions on page 8 for proper ination.

cation of how the leak took place. Vinyl may protrude up along uneven punctures.
Dirt or stain around a puncture. Streaks or striation like scratches will be present.
Causes: Inappropriate or neglectful handling and use. Product was dragged
instead of lifted o the ground. Product laid on abrasive surface.
Prevention: Keep Solar Sun Rings o and away from all avrasive surfaces
and refrain from dragging, walking or scraping along on any surface.
CORRECT SETUP
Characteristics: Rings lay at and rm on the water. All magnets on 6 cor-
ners stay in place. Two layers in inner grid are not stuck together. Inner grid
does not bubble. Outer ring does not buckle or curl. Vinyl is smooth and won‘t
crack. Overall circular form is maintained. Refer to instructions or this guide
