The Heliocol® Solar Pool Heating System
Cost Savings
Owning a Heliocol solar pool heating system means drastically reducing or even eliminating expensive pool heating utility bills! Year after year, the savings continue while you extend your swimming season.
Pool Heating Costs
No Utility Bills
It costs nothing to run your solar pool heating system because your heat comes free from the sun. Other pool heating options, such as gas or electricity, can cost thousands of dollars to run every year. In fact, many pool owners who buy a gas or electric heater stop using the heater altogether after discovering the high cost of system operation.
Guaranteed to Last Longer
Unlike gas, electric or heat pump systems, which offer complicated limited warranties averaging less than 5 years, our system comes with the industry’s only 12-year FULL manufacturer’s warranty protecting ALL manufacturer parts.
Reliability
After evaluating dozens of solar pool heating vendors, we at Repower Home selected Heliocol because of their technology, value and reliability. They stand behind their products with a 12-year manufacturer’s warranty. These products have been installed in thousands of homes around the U.S. in the toughest of environments and have proven their value and reliability. Unlike all other manufacturers who give pro-rated warranties on only some parts, Heliocol’s manufacturer’s warranty covers ALL manufacturer parts for a FULL 12 years, and is the one that covers labor costs of repairs. Repower Home is a sister company to Moonworks, a home improvement dealer with more than 40,000 satisfied customers in the New England area.
Safety
With no pilot lights, no metal components and no moving parts, Heliocol solar pool heating systems installed by Repower Home keep your family safe while heating your pool. Traditional heaters use fossil fuels like propane or natural gas, which can leak and cause fire. Other pool heaters use high voltage electricity. Our solar pool heating systems heat your pool naturally and safely with free, clean energy from the sun.
Easy Installation
Repower Home staff are certified by the manufacturer and will install your Heliocol pool heating system approximately 1 day. Installing our modular system requires simple plumbing from the solar panels to your existing pool pump. Other heaters, such as gas or electric units, require the expensive installation of gas and electricity lines.
Carbon Reduction
Other heating methods use fossil fuels to heat your swimming pool. These fossil fuels create pollution, fouling the air we breathe and increasing the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. But Helicol’s high-efficiency solar absorbers transfer hundreds of thousands of BTU’s (units of heat) from the sun into your swimming pool water without creating any pollution or greenhouse gases!
This chart shows how many tons of pollution are created every year from several pool heating methods.

How it Works
This diagram illustrates how the Heliocol system works.
Diagram of efficient solar pool heating system
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’s heated by the sun’s radiant energy.
The water is then returned to your pool to repeat the cycle until your pool is warm.
