Heliatos Boat Freeze Protected Solar Water Heater Kit with Built-In Heat Exchanger

If your boat water heater has a built-in heat exchanger this kit is for you. It contains everything you need to add a high quality freeze protected solar water heater to your boat. It simply connects to the heat exchanger that is already in your water heater. The antifreeze in the solar loop is heated by Heliatos MH-38 solar water heating panels.

The MH-38  panels include special features to prevent corrosion even in the harshest marine environments:

• Powder-coated frame and backing, gives the appearance of white enamel
• Zinc-phosphate internal corrosion protection
• Sealed construction
• Stainless steel hardware

These panels have unbreakable twinwall polycarbonate glazing, and a strong aluminum frame, yet only weighs 12 lbs.
