In Canadian installations, the minimum distance to t
maintained from the inside wall of the pool or spa is
meters (approx.10 feet).
Equipment Pad . 1
Place the heat pump.on a flat slightly pitched surface,
such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad). This allows
proper drainage of condensation and rain water from the
base of the unit. If possible, the pad should be placed at
the same level or slightly higher than the filter system
equipment pad.
NOTE Ensure that the pad is pitched not more than
inch per foot cm per toward the compressor end
(front) of the heat pump. Pitch slab from back to
front % inch per foot maximum and level from
side to side.
Condensation and Drainage
Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil while
the unit is running and drain at a steady rate, usually
3 to 5 gallons (11.4 to 18.9 liters) per hour, depending
upon ambient air temperature and humidity. The more
humid the ambient conditions, the more condensation
will be produced. Keep the drain holes of the base ofthe
unit clear of debris.
If the heat pump is installed indoors*, means of
condensate disposal must be provided
* Indoor installation requires factory consultation
Lawn Sprinklers
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat

1.3 Consumer Information and S
A WARNING 1
Improper installation or maintenance can cause nausea
or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide in flue gases)
which could result in severe injury, or death. For indoor
installations, as an additional measure of safety, Zodiac
Pool Systems, Inc. strongly recommends installation 1
of suitable Carbon Monoxide detectors in the vicinity of
this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces.
The heater is designed and manufactured to provide
many years of safe and reliable service when installed,
operated, and maintained according to the information
in this manual and the installation codes referred to
throughout. Be sure to read and comply with all warnings
and cautions.
1.3.1 Spa/Hot Tub Safety Rules
A WARNING
The following "Safety Rules for Hot Tubs,"
recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission, should be observed when using
the spa.
A WARNING
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
warns that elevated water temperature can be
hazardous. Consult heater operation and installation
instructions for water temperature guidelines before
setting temperature.
1. Spa or hot tub water temperature should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees
Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is considered safe for a
healthy adult. Special caution is recommended for
young children.
2. The drinking of alcoholic beverages before or
during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness
which could lead to unconsciousness, and
subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women take note! Soaking in water
above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage
during the first three (3) months of pregnancy
(which could result,in the birth of a brain -
damaged or deformed child). If pregnant women
are going to use a spa or -hot tub, they should make
sure the water temperature is below 100°F (38°C)
maximum.
4. The water temperature should always be checked
with an accurate thermometer before entering a
spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by
as much as IF° (I CO).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems
should consult their physician before using a hot
tub or spa.
6. Persons taking any medication which induces
drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
7. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body temperature
reaches a level several degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). Symptoms include
dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal body temperature. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
Lack of awareness of impending hazard
Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa
• Physical inability to leave spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
1.3.2 1 Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., offers the following
recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize
the cost of operating your pool heater without sacrificing
comfort.1
1. The American Red Cross® recommends a
maximum water temperature of 78°F (260C). Use
an accurate pool thermometer. A difference of 4170
(20C), between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C),
will use as much as 40% more gas.
Page 4 Jandy°Pro
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater
usage due to wanner air temperatures.
3. Find the proper setting on the pool heater
temperature control and use the Set Point Lockoi
feature to discourage further adjustments.
4. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. -This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
S. If the pool is only going to be used on wee))<ends,
reduce the heater temperature control setting by 8
or 10 degrees during the week. Reset it to &-78°F
(25°C) level a day or so before you plan to use the
pool.
6. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, shut down the heater by following
the shutdown instructions found on the inside of
the heater.
7. Where possible, shelter the pool from
winds with well -trimmed -hedges or other
landscaping, cabanas, or fencing. / -
8. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature,/a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on filter systems. /
1.4 Warranty

1.5 Certification Codes and Standards
The'heater is design -certified by CSA (Canadian
Standards Association) compliant with the latest edition of
the Standard for Gas Fired pool Heaters, ANSI® Z21.56
in the USA and CSA 4.7 in Canada.
All Jandy Pro Series heaters/must be installed in
accordance with the local building and installation codes
as per the utility orAuthority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
In the absence of local codes, refer to the latest edition of
the following national codes for installation:
1
Al' Gas -Fred Pool & Spa Neater ' ..:�tallalion &Operation Manual
1. In the United States, the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA® 54/ANSI Z223.1. Pay particular attention
to the chapter addressing Venting of Equipment.
2. In Canada, the Natural Gas and propape
Installation Code, CAN/CSA-B149.1. Minimum
combustion air requirements MUST be
followed for proper and safe operation. The
Jandy Pro Series JXi heater may not operate
properly when installed with only the minimum
combustion air openings allowed in CAN/
CSA-B 149.1.
The JXi pool and spa heaters meet or exceed the
requirements of energy conservation regulations, such as
those in California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and other
states that have disallowed the use of continuously lit pilot
type ignition sources. In addition, the natural gas models
of this heater comply with the California South Coast Air
Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Rule 1146.2
for Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions.
Any changes to the heater, gas controls, air orifice, gas
orifices, wiring, draft diverter, or improper installation
may void the warranty. If change is required to any of the
above, consult the factory.
1.6 General Operation Description
In the JXi heater, the blower draws air and fuel through
specially designed orifices for both air and gas, then
delivers the precise mixture to the burner located inside
the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber
is completely sealed and contains the heat exchanger,
which surrounds the burner. Once combustion gases pass
through the heat exchanger, the flow is directed through
an exhaust duct located on the side of the combustion
chamber, where it vents to the atmosphere.
1.7 Safety Controls
The JXi heater is equipped with the following safety
controls to protect internal components and prolong the
life of the heater.
Air Flow Switch
The airflow switch monitors the vacuum (negative
pressure) within the blower housing. The air flow switch
is factory set and the ignition module will not operate
unless the air pressure switch and all safety switches are
satisfied.
Water Pressure Switch
Operating the heater without sufficient water flow may
severely damage the heater. If water flow to the heater is
restricted, the water pressure switch prevents the burner
from firing. The control panel will display an error
message to indicate water flow is insufficient.
Jandy° Pro Series, Jx" Gas„
& Spa Heater Installation & Operation Manual
NOTE: If the heater is installed below the, level of the pool,(or
more than two feet above the pool level), the pressure
switch setting must be adjusted. See Section 5.4
Adjusting the Water Pressure Switch for guidelines.
Water Temperature Control
All heater models are equipped with an electronic control
which senses water temperature by means of a thermistor
and controls heater operation to bring the water to the
temperature selected. It has an option for two (2) separate
thermostat settings which are typically used to set pool and
spa temperatures. 1
Ignition Control
The ignition control provides energy for ignition of the air/
gas mixture, monitors the flame and controls the gas valve.
When the temperature control calls for heat, the ignition
control initiates the start-up process -by first purging the
combustion chamber gases. The ignition control will
then energize the igniter and open the gas valve when
the igniter surface is sufficiently hot. During the start-up
process and after ignition, the ignition control system is
continually monitoring the flame condition. If the con�rol
senses an unstable flame it will close the gas valve as a
safety precaution.
Section 2. Installation

• Appliances are normally de -rated when installed at high
elevation. This is not necessary with the JXi heater
because it has a special venturi-type combustion system
which self -compensates for changes in barometric
pressure. Air flow through the blower inlet pulls the
correct flow of gas into the burner regardless of air
density. Proper combustion andlhigh efficiency are
assured without special adjustment or changes to the
heater. 1
2.4 Heater Components
I . Gas Valve - The gas valve controls gas flow
into the burner. It enables flow only when the
temperature control requires heat and only if
all safety controls enable'operation. It is also a
negative pressure regulator, where it maintains a
gas pressure of 0.2" WC below the the air pressure
at the blower inlet. It regulates the gas pressure to
0.2" WC less than the air pressure at the blower
inlet. This is necessary for proper operation of the
burner system and cannot be accomplished with
common (positive pressure) gas valves.
2. Combustion Blower and Air Orifice —The
blower pulls air and fuel gas in through their
respective orifices and mixes the two gases before
forcing the fuel/air mixture through the burner
for combustion. During normal operation the fan
will turn on before flame initiation to ensure that
the combustion chamber is clear before the igniter
is energized. Additionally, the fan will run after
the flame is extinguished in order to clear the
combustion chamber of exhaust gas.
3. Pool/Spa Water Temperature Control - The
JXi heater models are equipped with an electronic
control, which senses water temperature by means
of a thermistor and controls heater operation to
attain and maintain the water according to the
temperature selected. It has an option for two (2)
separate thermostat settings, which are typically
used to set pool and spa temperatures. � •
4. Ignition Control - The ignition control provides
energy for ignition of the air/gas mixture, monitors
the flame and controls the gas valve. When the
temperature control calls for heat, the ignition
control provides a pre -purge of the combustion
chamber. Once the pre -purge is complete the
Ignition control then applies electrical power to
a hot surface igniter. When the igniter attains
sufficient temperature, the ignition control opens
the gas valve. Immediately after ignition, the
control system will look for characteristics of a
stable flame and de -energize the igniter. Ifflame
is not detected shortly after opening the gas valve
the control system will close the valve to prevent
further gas release. The ignition control will
attempt to start 2 more times before an ignition
fault is displayed.
S. Igniter - The hot -surface igniter is constructed of
a ceramic material that attains a temperature great
enough to ignite the air/fuel mixture, when an
electric current is applied.

is a single use switch, which detects abnormal
temperatures in the vent system. It is mounted
to the exhaust duct. Excessive temperatures'
will cause the switch to open. Excessive
temperatures can be caused by inadequate water
flow or a compromised heat exchanger. The ven
