Innovative Marine is proud to introduce HELIO, our new line of heaters utilizing ultra-safe PTC (positive temperature coefficient) technology.

What makes the Helio Heater so good and how does it work?

When developing the HELIO, we looked at the aquaculture industry and how PTC technology was utilized. After scrutinized detailed analysis, we extrapolated how to efficiently heat (in both cost and thermal dispersion), as well as minimizing the danger of air exposure and for everyday use. PTC technology utilizes solid state ceramic chips that are programmed to reach only a certain predetermined set temperature. As compared to resistance wires that continuously increase in temperature until the element ceases.

When the temperature of the ceramic chip heating element increases, the sensor on the chip itself reads the increase and will increase its electrical resistance resulting in decreased heat output. This simply means that as the heating element gets hotter, it will become relatively more difficult to become hotter. Safety is inherently built in and not added on.

Now, after we re-engineered and redesigned as well as incorporated the latest reef aquarium technologies, the PTC self-regulating heater and its components are ready to operate safely and efficiently in a harsh marine reef aquarium ecosystem.

The mastermind behind the HELIO Heating System is our PTC smart controller, which bridges the gap between hobby grade and commercial heating systems. The smart controller's processor goes hand in hand with the PTC heating elements to keep your temperature stable. Communicating back and forth with the elements and alerting you immediately after any fluctuations in temperature have been detected.

The PTC smart controller has been fitted with a titanium remote temperature sensor and dual heating element power lines. Since each heating element has its own built in temperature regulation system, there's safety in redundancy from the controller's temperature sensor. And if dual heating elements are employed, there is yet another level of safety added to the system.

Each piece of the HELIO heating system was created to work harmoniously together. Commercial grade titanium heating sheaths and screws prevent corrosion. Rare earth magnetic heating element holders allow optimal water flow. Quick disconnects for the controller's temperature sensors and heating elements make for easy maintenance and upgradeability.

After years in development, the HELIO heating system possesses powerful features that exceed current reef aquarium heater expectations and achieve three main objectives: Increased safety. Improved reliability. And to provide a new reef aquarium heating technology superior to the long held standard.
