Product Description

The Heliocol solar collector is an advanced pool heating panel. The modular panels are made from one piece of polypropylene with no welding or gluing. Heliocol has achieved top ratings with the Solar Ratings & Certification Corporation and its technical data provide a rating of 13.9kWh per HC50 panel per day. Heliocol has been installed on some of the biggest pool complex's in the world and in New Zealand.
The system functions in the following manner:

A) Using your existing pool pump, pool water is directed through a series of valves to your solar collectors.
B) Pool water enters the solar collectors at the bottom and rises to the top through the individual tubes of the collector.
C) As the water rises through the collector it is heated by the sun's radiant energy.
D) The swimming pool water is then returned to your pool to repeat the cycle until your pool is warm.
