SSR1 Solar Sun Ring Swimming Pool Spa Heater 21K BTU Cover Heating SSR-1

I was skeptical as to whether these would work or not but they really do and are a must have if a pool heater is not an option,just follow the instructions and be patient,it will not do much if the temps are low and you dont have alot of sun,but once you get a couple sunny days in the 80’s and 90’s the pool temperature will rise dramatically and maintain,im averaging between 87 and 90 degrees even in the morning,the quality seems it could be better but even if i get 2 seasons out of them the cost of 7 of these is what it might be to run a gas heater for 2 weeks.

Bought a total of 11 over the last 2 years to heat my 21 foot round above ground pool. Last year 5 had not able to hold air and just collected leaves and rain water. This year another 3 could not hold air. Pulled all of them out and threw them away- great concept but not a very long lasting design.

We have an Intex above ground pool, 4 ft high and 16 ft wide in diameter - located in the Midwest, northwest suburb Chicago land area. We bought 7 of these to almost perfectly cover the whole pool. The reason we bought this was to mainly provide some additional heat but also to prevent heat loss and evaporation overnight. Regarding heat, we can have up to a 10 degree (F) difference as long as there is sun. No sun, not that much of a difference. We have also seen a difference to how much water is saved overnight not to mention the heat as well. We have had 2 weeks of straight high 80s-90s with partly sunny to all sunny days and have only noticed less than a 1/4 in if water and have not yet needed to refill. Prior to the rings, I probably would have lossed an inch or inch and a half with these same conditions. Out of the two years we’ve had them, we have had one with a leak in the middle section and will be purchasing another one to replace it. Another huge thing is to at least clean the top surface of them so that when there is sun, it can directly penetrate and do its thing. I plan to quickly wash them at least once every 3 weeks or once a month. It may seem a lot of work but we don’t want to buy a heater. In the near future, looking at doing a DIY water heater with some copper and a wood burning fire pit. Until then, this will do.

A bad implementation of a good idea. Constantly needing to be reinflated. Not very sturdy.

We have a 600 ft.² inground pool with a heater. Living in South Florida. There’s only a couple months a year where this is neede. we used to use a big tarp looking thing that came on the spindle that you rolled out over the entire pool. It worked OK, but it was so difficult to put on and then takeoff. With these 2 pound inflatable toppers, our pool evaporation has gone to almost nil, where we usually lose about 6 to 10 gallons a day. Since it’s winter, we can heat our large pool up to about 90° and overnight with the temperature of 70° outside, the pool is only losing about 2°. If you do have a large pool, it does take quite a few of these to cover it - in our case 12. But if you enjoy a warm pool in the winter time, highly recommend for both your electricity bill and your water bill.

Bought enough to cover most of the surface of an 18' round pool. Temp increase and heat retention was negligible at best. Putting them on and taking off was not as easy as I had hoped. I will stick with a full solar cover next year.

I was initially skeptical about this product, but it truly works! It significantly reduces water evaporation—almost no water loss from the sun over four days. It also helps retain heat overnight, keeping my pool warm here in Fort Lauderdale, South Florida. Excited to see the savings on electricity from not having to heat the pool as much during the day!

NO Stars !!Don't waste your money , product will not lay flat wind keeps blowing it out of the pool !!It curls up bad and I plan to let all air out of it tonight and will see if it stays in the pool and helps the water temp stay more level !
