Jandy Unveils New JXiQ Gas Pool and Spa Heater

The new Jandy JXiQ gas pool and spa heater combines the popular features of the original with a host of new self-diagnosing capabilities. Despite its compact size, the heater has accessible service components, rodent deterrent design, VersaFlo Integrated Bypass technology and built-in sensors that provide self-diagnostic capabilities to ensure proper installation and operation while taking the guesswork out of troubleshooting.

These new sensors detect:

• Sufficient gas pressure – The JXiQ automatically establishes if there’s sufficient gas pressure to safely ignite. Running the heater when there’s insufficient gas pressure can cause the heat exchanger to soot up and fail prematurely.
• Correct power input – Auto-sensing dual-voltage operation allows the JXiQ to operate at either 115V or 230V, which prevents miswiring at installation because it automatically adapts to the supplied voltage. This dual-voltage capability also ensures the correct voltage is applied, including proper polarity, making it ideal for both new builds and aftermarket replacements.
• Optimized flow – The JXiQ measures how much the temperature rises between the inlet and outlet, allowing pool professionals to dial in the correct speed of a variable-speed pump during installation.

Thanks to real-time processing, users can see a diagnostic readout on the display, which is 50% larger than before, and the estimated time it will take to heat the water to a desired temperature.

The sacrificial anode also draws corrosive elements in the water away from susceptible parts and equipment — prolonging the life of the pool heater while preserving metallic finishes on handrails and lights.
