What is the best type of collector to use?
Unlike other solar pool heating systems that use tube on tube flat plate collectors or monolithic designs, the Heliocol collectors use a patented individual tube design that relieves stress caused by expansion and contraction. This may not be important in the Sun Belt where the temperature does not vary more than 30 degrees. However, in New Jersey where we may have temperature swings of 100 degrees or more, this ability of the Heliocol, collectors to expand and contract without failure is paramount. The individual tube design eliminates the need for invasive hold-down strapping and all the holes in the roof required by less intelligent, monolithic designs. Less roof penetrations means a safer, more secure and longer lasting trouble free installation for you! Heliocol collectors are the only solar panel engineered with a direct flow system to provide optimum flow without restrictions on your pool filter system. Other collectors that use a sub-plenum create backpressure that reduces your
