The Heliocol heat mat system
Heliocol solar pool heating systems have three basic components: a panel, a pump and a filter. A pump, usually your existing pool pump, pushes water through a filter to strain leaves and debris. Water is then pumped into a Heliocol solar panel mounted on your roof, porch, fence, or any other location with good sun exposure (optimally south facing in North America). The water is substantially heated as it moves through the panel and it flows back into your pool, warming the water. Unlike solar water heaters for indoor use, solar pool heaters do not require a storage tank. Your pool provides all the storage required.
Components
Heliocol doesn’t require rubber hoses or metal clamps as part of its installation. Rubber hoses deteriorate over time while our heavy-duty plastic components are designed to last through nature’s elements and your pool’s chemicals. And unlike metal clamps, which need to be tightened and adjusted each year, Heliocol’s plastic clamps require zero maintenance.
