How Solar Pool Covers Save Costs on Energy

One thing that you may have found when you have jumped into your pool is that the water can at times be rather cold and take some getting used to. If the weather is also a little on the cold side it doesn't help the matter either.

One simple solution that many people use is to have a solar pool cover installed. A solar pool cover like any other solar power generating device that has no moving parts is what is defined as a “passive system”. The benefit of a passive solar system is that while they tend to produce less energy the fact that they have no moving parts means that they don't have to be maintained or regulated in any way.

While there are more extensive non passive pool heating systems that are available that have a more dramatic effect on the pools water temperature solar pool covers are easy and inexpensive to have installed and require only minimal occasional maintenance.

Solar pool covers work in two ways, first by preventing the pool water from cooling through evaporation and secondly by attracting the suns energy and subsequently passing it on below to the pool water.

Naturally they work best on a hot sunny day but they will work to hold in the waters heat on into the evenings as well. Solar pool covers also come in varying price ranges, with the most expensive being automated solar pool covers that retract with the push of a button.

The least expensive type are manually operated solar pool covers that have to be pulled or rolled back by hand. Either way they do make a noticeable difference in the waters temperature and even on less that optimal sun days they will take the edge off of pool water that would otherwise be unbearably cold.

Pool covers in general do help to keep unwanted debris from entering a pool and with a solar powered pool cover you get the added benefit of warmer water also.

Swimming Pool Solar Sun Rings -( SSRN , Solar Sun Rings ) $29.99 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 topass through for deep water heating. Each Sun Solar Ring generates 21,000 BTU per day. Rings are 60" in diameter.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 32 gauss magnets to improve clarity and decrease hardness of the waterin your pool. The magnets are positioned to facilitate rafting. The strength of the magnets will permit single position removal but will easily separate to prevententrapment 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 norpool 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.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.Easily Cleaned - After removal from the swimming pool, Solar Sun Rings can be easily cleaned with a sponge and mild detergent solution.Warranty: Solar Sun Rings are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for two years. Warranty is limited to materials and workmanship.Solar Sun Rings Features:Safety: No other floating solar cover matches SolarSun Rings design for safety. Countless pets and many people have died because of entrapment with the one piece bubble pack covers. The primary design criteria of the Solar Sun Ring was to prevent entrapment.Durability: High quality ultra violet resistant vinyl(polyvinyl chloride) is used exclusively for durability that cannot be achievedby the inferior plastic used in bubble pack covers. Vinyl will normally outlastpolyethylene 3 to 1. The vinyl used to manufacture Solar Sun Rings is not destroyed by pH fluctuation
