If you are a pool professional or a discerning homeowner who has been on the lookout for a state-of-the-art natural gas or propane pool heater, you may want to take a look at the new-in-2024 Jandy JXiQ heaters. We here at ePoolSupply have provided this blog post as a general guide for you to take a glance at so you can get a feel for the Jandy JXiQ series of heaters before you make the decision to purchase or before you go to install your (or your client’s) brand-new heater. Take a moment to read through this post to get an idea of what the Jandy JXiQ series of heaters can do for you and your customers!
All the Features of the JXi (and More)
The Jandy JXiQ series gives you all of the benefits of the Jandy JXi series including a small footprint, leading to space-saving on your equipment pad; easily accessible service components so your pool professional will have an easy time servicing your JXiQ heater; a design that is made to deter rodents; and perhaps the most notable feature, the VersaFlo Integrated Bypass technology, meaning you can have the water passing through your JXiQ bypass the heat exchanger when there is no call for heat, saving up to 20% in energy costs simply by choosing to bypass the heat exchanger when you have no need for heat in your pool.
New Built-In Sensors
Not only does the Jandy JXiQ series have all of the goodies from the JXi series of heaters, but they come with an assortment of brand-new, built-in sensors that inform the user, whether they be a pool professional or the homeowner, of various topics that help to ensure proper installation, operation, and give troubleshooting tips.
What the Sensors Detect
Sufficient Gas Pressure
According to Fluidra USA, the first sensor detects whether there is sufficient gas pressure to make certain it is safe for the heater to ignite. If the pressure is insufficient, the heat exchanger can build up a layer of soot and fail prematurely. This sensor also comes complete with a Low Gas Pressure Switch in order to prevent excessive condensation, thus extending the life of the heater.
Proper Power Input
Auto-sensing dual voltage operation allows the JXiQ heater the ability to operate at either 115 or 230 volts. This will prevent miswiring upon installation as the heater will automatically select the correct voltage. Installation flexibility will be assured while proper input will also be ensured without flipping cards or changing wires. Dual voltage will also aid with commissioning by ensuring correct voltage and proper polarity are applied. All of these features make the JXiQ heaters ideal for both new builds and aftermarket replacements.
Optimized Flow
The JXiQ measures how much the temperature rises between the inlet and the outlet, thus allowing for pool professionals and pool owners to dial in the correct speed of a variable speed pump during the installation process. By optimizing water flow, heat exchanger failures due to scale buildup and condensation can be avoided.
How the Sensors Assist Every Day
Information garnered by the sensors is processed in real time, and a complete diagnostic readout is displayed on the heater's digital display (which is now 50% larger than the previous model, making the JXiQ digital display the largest in the industry).
The JXiQ heater is the ideal companion for salt pools as the salty water makes the pools more prone to corrosion. These heaters come with a sacrificial anode to draw corrosive elements in the water away from susceptible parts and equipment, including the heater, handrails, and lights.
A boon to homeowners, JXiQ heaters will calculate and relay to you how long it will take to heat the water to your desired temperature.
åAs one last bonus, the JXiQ is engineered to be compatible to Jandy's Versa Plumb system, which means the heater works with a variety of energy-efficient equipment options to reduce the cost of operation and to increase hydraulic efficiency while using the smallest possible footprint.
