Solar Sun Rings Swimming Pool Solar Cover, Blue Sunburst, 5-Foot Diameter
Quick overview
- Solar heating The dark top layer absorbs sunlight and passes that heat into the water below it.
- Thermal blanket at night Left on the surface after dark, the rings slow the heat loss that undoes a warm afternoon.
- Less evaporation Covered water loses less volume and fewer chemicals to the air.
- Drainage grommets Grommets in the top let rain and splash water seep through instead of sinking the ring.
- Handled in sections Rings come off and go back one at a time, so there is no full sheet cover to drag and reel.
- Plan for 60 percent coverage For useful heating, cover at least 60 percent of the water surface with rings.

Product details
A Solar Sun Ring is a section of solar cover you handle by hand. This one is the blue sunburst version, 5 feet across, with a 60 inch outer tube that keeps it rigid and floating flat on the water.
How it warms the pool
The top layer absorbs sunlight and turns it into heat, which passes into the water underneath. The ring also acts as a lid: it slows evaporation through the day and holds warmth in through the night, which is where an uncovered pool loses most of what the sun gave it. The gain is real but modest, so treat rings as a way to stretch the swimming season rather than as a substitute for a heater.
Coverage and handling
Plan on covering at least 60 percent of the water surface for useful heating. Because the pool is covered in pieces rather than one sheet, you can pull a few rings, swim, and put them back without a reel. Grommets in the top let rain and splash water drain through so the rings keep floating, and they wipe clean and stack for storage at the end of the season.
