HELIOCOL

SOLAR POOL HEATER

Heliocol is the first solar pool collector in the world to achieve the elite status of ISO9001:2000 Certified.

Relatively few manufacturers have the privilege of placing the ISO 9001:2008 emblem on their products. Only

those companies performing at the highest levels in their industries can meet the stringent requirements

specified by this demanding international standard. The technical and engineering expertise of Heliocol

and their relentless pursuit of continuous product improvement have earned them the world renowned ISO

9001:2008 certification. Over the two year process necessary to gain certification, their customer service

record, product failure rate, and engineering processes were all carefully scrutinized and found deserving of

ISO 9001:2008.

The solar energy system described by this manual, when properly installed and maintained, meets or

exceeds the minimum standard established by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC). This

certification does not imply endorsement or warranty of this product by the SRCC.

An Environmentally Safe Product is one that helps to preserve and protect our environment. The Heliocol

Solar System does just that. An average pool in the united States, when heated by a gas heater, will introduce

into our atmosphere 58 tons of C)2 and 108 pounds of NOX over a ten-year period. A Heliocol Solar System

that is cost effective, durable , and worry-free will introduce no such health hazards into our air. Your Heliocol

system will provide you with natural, safe, and free energy year after year.
