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. Consult heater operation and installation instructions for water temperature guidelines before setting tem- perature. • Spa or hot tub water temperature should never exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is consid- ered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is recommended for young children. • The drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could lead to uncon- sciousness, and subsequently result in drowning. • Pregnant women take notel 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. 1.4 General Operation Description Read the installation and operation instructions completely before proceeding with the installation. The warranty does NOT cover damage caused by improper assembly, installation, operation or field modification. Also, damage to the heat exchanger by corrosive water is NOT covered by the warranty. NOTE: Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference when inspecting or servicing the heater. in this manual and the installation codes referred to throughout. Be sure to read and comply with all warnings and cautions. • The water temperature should always be checked with an ac- curate thermometer before entering a spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by as much as 1 F°/1 C°. • Persons with a medical history of heart disease, diabetes, cir- culatory or blood pressure problems should consult their physician before using a hot tub or spa. • Persons taking any medication which induces drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs. • Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce hyperthermia. • Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body temperature reaches a level several degrees above the normal body tem- perature of 98.6°F (37°C). Symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal body tempera- ture. 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 The blower draws air and fuel through specially designed burner transferring the heat to the water.

All Jandy Pro Series heaters must be installed in accordance with the local building and installation codes as per the utility or Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). In the absence of local codes, please refer to the latest edition of the national codes for installation. JXi pool and spa heaters meet or exceed the requirements of energy conservation regulations such as those in states that have disallowed the use of continuously lit pilot type ignition sources. 1.8 Heater Components J Header Rear f.d e O Flue Temperature Sensor Monitors temperature at the exhaust flue. Ii excessive temperatures are detected, combustion will stop and a fault will be displayed. ®' Hot Sulfate Igniter When current is passed through the ceramic material of the igniter it will achieve temperatures great enough to initiate combustion of the airtfuel mixture. O Ignition Control Provides energy for ignition, monitors flame quality and controls the gas valve. Upon call for heat, the blower is activated to purge the combustion chamber. Electrical power is then applied to the hot surface igniter. When ignition temperature is attained, the gas valve opens and ignition occurs. If stable flame is detected the igniter will power down. If stable flame is not detected the control system will close the valve to prevent further gas release. If a total of 3 ignition attempts fail an ignition fault is displayed. O, High Limit Switches Prevent water of excessive temperatures from being discharged from the heater. If either switch, one at the heat exchanger first pass 57°C and one at the heat exchanger outlet 65°C, senses excessive temperature, the gas valve will close and combustion will stop. ®Indicates a safety control equipped to protect internal components and extend the fife of the heater. h - �i Oe PooVSpa Water Temperature Control. Senses water temperature by _ _ means of a thermistor. Heater will operate to attain and maintain the water temperature according to the heater settings. Two separate thermostat settings are supported, typically used to set pool and spa temperatures. O Water Pressure Switch Senses whether or not water is available to the heater by measuring back pressure at the ®header inlet. If insufficient pressure is detected, the display will indicate a "Check Flow" fault and combustion will stop. O Gas Valve Controls gas flow into the burner. Enables flow when the temperature control calls for heat and all safety controls enable operation. It also regulates gas pressure to -2" WC (Water Column) below the air pressure at the blower inlet. Necessary pressure regulation cannot be accomplished with common (positive pressure) gas valves. Oh Combustion Blower and Air Orifice Draws in air and fuel gas creating an air/fuel mixture that is passed through the burner for combustion. The fan will operate for several seconds before flame initiation and after the flame is extinguished to purge the combustion chamber for a clean bum and to expel any residual exhaust gas. O Air Pressure Switch Monitors the vacuum (negative pressure) within the blower housing. This switch verifies that air is ®flowing through the combustion system by sensing pressure. If air flow is inadequate, combustion will stop and a fault will be displayed. Page 6 Jandy® Pro Series, JXi' Gas -Fired Pool & Spa Heater I Installation & Operation Manual Section 2.

Figure 4. Indoor and Outdoor Shelter Installation The "Minimum Net Free Open Area" information from Figure 4 is not applicable in installations where exhaust fans or blowers of any type are used. Any equipment which exhausts air from the room where the heater is installed can deplete the combustion air supply or reverse the natural draft action of the venting system. This could cause flue products to accumulate in the room. Additional air must be supplied to compensate for such exhaust. Consult a professional engineer to ensure that installations where exhaust fans or blowers are used are designed and installed in accordance with all applicable local and national installation codes. In addition, the heater must be completely isolated and protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes or corrosive vapors (i.e chlorine or hydrochloric acid). A WARNING Do not store any chemicals, cleaners, or other corrosive material near combustion air openings or in the room. Avoid locating appliance vents in the vicinity of combustion air openings. Failure to prevent corrosive materials from mixing with combustion air can result in reduced heater life and unsafe heater operation. I As outlined in the latest edition of ANSI® standard Z223.1 (NFPA® 54), the heater — Listed Vent Cap location must be properly vented to provide sufficient air supply for proper combustion.

Figure 4. Indoor and Outdoor Shelter Installation The "Minimum Net Free Open Area" information from Figure 4 is not applicable in installations where exhaust fans or blowers of any type are used. Any equipment which exhausts air from the room where the heater is installed can deplete the combustion air supply or reverse the natural draft action of the venting system. This could cause flue products to accumulate in the room. Additional air must be supplied to compensate for such exhaust. Consult a professional engineer to ensure that installations where exhaust fans or blowers are used are designed and installed in accordance with all applicable local and national installation codes. In addition, the heater must be completely isolated and protected from any source of corrosive chemical fumes or corrosive vapors (i.e chlorine or hydrochloric acid). A WARNING Do not store any chemicals, cleaners, or other corrosive material near combustion air openings or in the room. Avoid locating appliance vents in the vicinity of combustion air openings. Failure to prevent corrosive materials from mixing with combustion air can result in reduced heater life and unsafe heater operation. I Page 12 I= Jandy® Pro Series, JXi- Gas -Fired Pool & Spa Heater Installation & Operation Manual 3.3.2 Exhaust Venting When the M heater is installed indoors or in an outdoor shelter it can be vented as a Category I or Category III appliance. In either case the vent pipe sizing must be in accordance with the specifications listed in Table 1. • Category I: Appliance operates with a negative vent static pressure, a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production and will vent vertically terminating at the roof. • Category III: Appliance operates with a positive vent static pressure, a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production and can be vented horizontally terminating at a side wall. • Do not terminate heater vents near air conditioning or air supply fans which could pick up exhaust flue products, such as carbon monoxide and other hazardous effluent, and return them inside the building. • Vent pipe type and material must be carefully selected and depends on the type of installation. • Do not locate the vent terminal where exhaust flue products could strike against building materials and cause degradation. • Vent opening should be well away from landscaping or other obstructions that would prevent free air flow to and from vent terminal. • Do not terminate vent under decks, stairs, or car ports. • Do not use the appliance to support the vent pipe. • Vent piping must be supported with no low spots or sagging which could allow condensate to collect. • Horizontal runs must be sloped upwards away from the heater to a vent terminal at a minimum of 1/4" per horizontal foot (2 cm/m). See Figure 4. • Install the vent pipe so it can expand and contract freely with temperature changes. • Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with any other appliance. • It is recommended that vent runs over 18 feet be insulated to reduce condensation and use a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater, especially in cold climate installations. A WARNING Vent pipe materials, sizing, and installation must be as required by the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI® Z223.1 or the Canadian Installation Codes for Gas Appliances CAN/CSA-13149.1. Undersized pipe can result in inadequate venting and oversize pipe can result in vent condensation. Improper selection of vent pipe material, incorrect sizing of the pipe, and incorrect installation of vent piping can result in release of combustion products to the indoors. This can cause serious injury or death by Carbon Monoxide poison- ing or asphyxiation. A WARNING Improper installation or maintenance can cause nausea or asphyxia- tion from carbon monoxide in flue gases which could result in severe injury or death. For indoor installations, as an added measure of safety, Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. strongly recommends installation of suitable carbon monoxide detectors in the vicinity of this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces. Incorrect design and installation of heater vents and ducts can result in personal injury, damage to property, or death. To avoid such hazards, the heater must be installed only by a qualified professional service technician.

Do not connect vent systems of different categories to the same venting system. 3.3.6 Inspection and Replacement of Existing Vent System with New Components When replacing an existing pool heater with the JXi, it is recommended that a new appropriate venting system is installed with the new heater. However, if the existing venting system must be used, be sure to carefully inspect the existing system to ensure that it is in good condition and appropriate for the JXi heater. Replace any parts that are not in serviceable condition before completing the installation. Jandy® Pro Series, JXi`" Gas -Fired Pool & Spa Heater I Installation & Operation Manual Page 15 Section 4. Gas Connections Gas piping installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1 and all local codes. In Canada, the installation must be in accordance with CAN/ CSA B 149.1 and all local codes that apply. The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure greater than or equal to 1/2 psi (3.50a). CAUTION [Permanent damage to the gas valve will occur if the installation procedures are not followed correctly. 4.1 Supply Gas Requirements A WARNING The JXi pool and spa heaters are designed for use with either natural gas or LP gas. Check the rating plate on the front of the combustion chamber to be sure that the heater is designed to use the type of gas being supplied. CONVERTING THIS HEATER FOR USE WITH ANY OTHER FUEL TYPE IS NOT RECOMMENDED BUT, WHEN NECESSARY, SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BYA LICENSEDAND QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL, AND ONLYAFTER CONTACTING ZODIAC POOL SYSTEMS FOR THE PROPER INSTRUCTIONS AND CONVERSION KIT. All questions should be directed to the Zodiac customer service center at 1-800-822-7933 Table 2. Supply Gas Pipe Size Requirements • Refer to Table 2 for correct gas inlet piping length from the gas meter to the heater. • Check the gas meter to make sure it will supply enough gas to the heater and any other appliances using the same gas supply. If unsure, contact your local gas utility to confirm. • Install a manual gas shutoff valve outside the heater body for service and safety. Never install the shutoff valve inside the body of the heater. • Install a sediment trap and union ahead of the gas controls and outside the heater body. See Figure 6. • Do not use a restrictive gas cock. ATTENTION Do not use flexible appliance connectors on any gas connections unless the connector is CSA approved for outdoor installation, and is marked with the BTUH capacity (which must be equal to or greater than the heater rated input) and the type of gas (Natural or LP). Also, any flexible connectors, such as CSST buried underground must be certified for underground installation and meet all applicable codes. Please note, use of flexible connector still requires the installation of a sediment trap per NFPA 54. See Figure 6. NOTE: The gas line from the meter is usually larger than the gas valve. Therefore, you will need to reduce connecting pipe as necessary. Make this reduction as close to the heater as possible.

The water pressure switch is inside the heater jacket on the water connection side See Section 1.8, item "f'. The switch is preset at the factory for activation at 2 psi (14 kPa). The pressure switch setting must be adjusted If the heater is installed: • Below the surface level of the pool • More than two feet above the pool level • Where the pressure is measured at 1 psi or greater with the filter pump off Figure 11. Water Pressure Switch Adjustment • Install the union nut and drain cap with o -ring at the unused inlet on the heater manifold. Be sure that the o -ring is properly seated. Secure hand tight only. Do not overtighten. Do not use pipe joint or thread tape. • Return all valves to their operating positions. • Restore power to the heater at the breaker. • Turn on pump and inspect carefully for leaks. • Restore main gas supply. • Start the system and check for proper flow. • Return heater to normal operation. A WARNING To avoid an electrical shock hazard, which can result in serious injury or death, ensure that all electrical power to the system is turned off before approaching, inspecting or troubleshooting any leaking valves or plumbing that may have caused other electrical devices in the surrounding area to get wet. ■ Follow all filter manufacturer's instructions. Never attempt to assemble, disassemble or adjust the filter when there is pressurized air in the system. Starting the pump while there is any pressurized air in the system can cause the filter lid to be blown off, which can cause death, serious personal injury or property damage. Location of the heater above or below the pool water surface can also affect the operation of the switch. The factory installed switch can accommodate elevations of 6 feet above the pool water surface or 11 feet below pool water surface. If the heater water connections are outside this range Consult your local Zodiac® representative for recommendations. Set the heater control to "OFF". Remove seven screws securing the side panel to the heater body. • Remove the side panel to gain access to the water pressure switch. See Figure 11. • Turn the filter pump on and confirm that the pressure switch closes with a voltmeter. • If the switch does not close, check that all valves are open to the heater and that there are no restrictions in the line. You may also need to confirm flow rate from your pump as outlined in Section 5.1. CAUTION The water pressure switch should be adjusted to tum the heater off when the pump is off. Setting the switch to close at too low flow can damage the appliance. Adjust the switch to turn the heater off, not on.

Maintenance If the heater is not going to be used for an extended period of time and in colder climates, shut it down completely. See Section 8.6 and Figure 17. IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE NOTE We recommend that before each pool season, the Thermal Regulator Valve (TRV) be inspected for proper operation and replaced if there are signs of scaling or corrosion. Corrosion and scaling are the result of improperly 9.1 Water Chemistry Proper Water Balance is the key to the enjoyment of your pool or spa experience and to the long life of your heater. The pH of your pool or spa's water is one of the factors that has the most impact on indicating how properly balanced the water is. The other factors are: temperature, total alkalinity, calcium hardness and total dissolved solids. Cold water is typically more acidic (corrosive), while hot water tends to lead to a scale forming (basic) condition. While the heater is in operation, if the PH is allowed to rise above 7.8 and the calcium hardness and 9.1.1 Saturation Index PH, Total Alkalinity (TA), temperature, Calcium Hardness and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) play a role in whether the water is either corrosive or scale forming. These factors are combined in the Langelier Saturation Index, which is a method for determining whether or not water is properly balanced. See Table 6 below. Saturation Index = pH + AF + CF + TF -12.1* A-Factor=(AF), C-Factor=(CF), T Factor -(TF) Total Alkalinity Calcium Hardness Temperature A -Factor C -Factor T Factor PPM Factor Value PPM Factor I Value aF Factor Value 5 = 0.7 5 = 0.9 32 = 0.0 25 = 1.4 25 = 1.0 37 = 0.1 50 = 1.7 50 = 1.3 46 = 0.2 75 = 1.9 75 = 1.5 53 = 0.3 100 = 2.0 100 = 1.6 60 = 0.4 150 = 2.2 150 = 1.8 66 = 0.5 200 = 2.3 200 = 1.9 76 = 0.6 300 = 2.5 300 = 2.1 84 = 0.7 400 = 2.6 400 = 2.2 94 = 0.8 800 = 2.9 800 = 2.5 105 = 0.9 A saturation index of 0 is perfectly balanced A negative saturation index has corrosive tendencies A positive saturation index has scaling tendencies A saturation index of +0.3 or -0.3 is ideal *-12.1 should be changed to -12.2 if Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measure at 1,000 ppm or greater Table 6. Water Saturation Index balanced water please see Section 9. LI for complete details on managing your water chemistry. The TRV ensures the heater operates at it's optimal efficiency and if properly maintained will extend the life of the heater. A WARNING Do not operate the heater if the water temperature is below 40 'F (4°C) total alkalinity are not properly maintained; calcium in the water could lose solubility, coating the copper tubes inside the heat exchanger. This will restrict the flow of water resulting in reduced efficiency and possible damage to the heater. If the pH is allowed to drop below 7.2, and the alkalinity is not properly maintained, the water will become more acidic. Acidic water has a tendency to dissolve metal components in the pool plumbing such as copper tubing in the heat exchanger. The practice of putting tablet -based sanitizer in the skimmer basket can produce heavily chlorinated water with very low pH. If this comes in contact with metal parts of the heater it can cause serious damage. Practices like this should be discontinued. If acidic conditions are present, there could be signs of metal in the pool water that could cause staining on the floor of your pool. This might manifest itself in the form of brown stains on the finish of your pool bottom or pool water discoloration. Your local pool dealer can test for metals in your water or can provide you with a test kit. Every effort should be made to maintain the water balance of your pool or spa in the proper range. Ignoring this very important component of your pool's water chemistry can make the water less enjoyable to bathe in and result in permanent damage to your heater and/or complete failure of individual components. Zodiac Pool Systems does not warrant heat exchangers damaged by corrosive water issues or from the build-up of calcium in the heater's heat exchanger. Any questions regarding proper water balance can be directed to our product support line at Zodiac® or to your local pool dealer. NOTE: The Thermal Regulator Valve (TRV) is an indicator of how well the water balance is being maintained. The TRV should be in- spected before each pool season to ensure it is clean and operating properly. If you see signs of calcium buildup (scale -forming or base water) or corrosion (acidic water) the TRV should be replaced and your water balanced. Jandy® Pro Series, JXi'" Gas -Fired Pool & Spa Heater Installation & Operation Manual Page 35 9.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips Please review the following recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize the cost of operating your pool heater without sacrificing comfort. • The American Red Cross® recommends a maximum water temperature of 78°F (26°C). Use an accurate pool thermometer. A difference of 4°F (2°C), between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C), will use as much as 40% more gas. • Carefully monitor the water temperature of your pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater usage due to warmer air temperatures. • Find the proper setting on the pool heater temperature control and use the Set Point Lockout feature to discourage further adjustments. • Set the pump time clock to start the pump no earlier than 6:00 AM. This is the time when nightly heat loss balances. 9.3 Winterizing In areas where freezing temperatures occur in winter and the pool or spa will not be used, the pool should be winterized by a qualified pool service technician: • Turn off the electrical supply and the main gas supply to the heater. • Remove the heater access panel. • Turn off gas supply to the heater following the shut- down instructions. See Section 8.6 and Figure 17. • Remove the drain plug from the inlet/outlet header and completely drain the heater before the first frost. See Section 5.5.1 step "a" • Inspect the gasket on the drain plug. Store the drain plug in a safe place for winter. • Cover the exhaust vent grill with plastic so that snow will not accumulate and freeze on top of the combustion chamber. 9.4 Spring Start-up When winterized, the heater should be reassembled by a qualified professional technician in the Spring. • Reinstall the drain plug. • Uncover the vent grill. • Reattach copper tubing to water pressure switch. • Make sure power is supplied to the pump. • If the pool is only going to be used on weekends, reduce the heater temperature control setting by 8 or 10 degrees during the week. Reset it to the 78°F (26°C) level a day or so before you plan to use the pool. • During the winter or when on vacation for longer than a week, shut down the heater by following the shutdown instructions found in Section 8.6 and Figure 17. and on the inside of the heater. • Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing winds with well -trimmed hedges or other landscaping, cabanas, or fencing. • The greatest source of heat loss in a swimming pool is through evaporation. It can account for 50% of pool systems total heat loss. The use of solar blankets, automatic covers or anything that limits the air's access to the surface of the water will help reduce this heat loss and minimize evaporation. • Remove and drain the copper tubing (siphon loop) for the water pressure switch. PRESSURE SWITCH COPPER TUBING DISCONNECT HERE (WINTERIZING) Figure 19. Water Pressure Switch Copper Tubing (Siphon Loop) • Turn on the filter pump and circulate water through the heater for 5 minutes. Check for leaks while circulating. • Turn on the main gas supply to the heater at the gas cock outside the heater jacket. • Turn on the heater according to Section 8.6 and Figure 17. Page 36 N111= Jandy® Pro Series, JXi" Gas -Fired Pool & Spa Heater I Installation & Operation Manual 9.5 Inspection and Service A WARNING Improper installation or maintenance can cause nausea or asphyxia- tion from carbon monoxide in flue gases which could result in severe injury, or death. The heater is designed and constructed to provide long performance life when installed and operated properly under normal conditions. Periodic inspections, especially at spring start-up, are important to keep your heater running safely and efficiently through the years. Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. recommends that the homeowner 9.5.1 Guidelines for Homeowner Inspection: A WARNING Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors, liquids or chemicals in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. A WARNING Do not use this heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the heater and replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water. 9.5.2 Guidelines for Professional Inspection: The following inspections should be made once a year or as needed. Routine inspections are a critical to the safety and long life of your Jandy pool equipment. • Check for loose or broken wires and terminal connections. • Check the water pressure switch by turning the filter pump off and on several times. The burner should go off immediately after the pump stops. The fan will run for 45 seconds after the burner shuts down. CAUTION If the heater is wired serially to or on the same relay as the filter pump, there is a chance that power will be disconnected to the heater before the fan is able to fully purge the combustion chamber. It is inadvisable to install the heater in a manner which would pre- vent this combustion chamber purge from taking place. An ignition sequence should start shortly after the pump is turned back on. Inspection the thermal regulator valve (TRV). Inspect the electrical controls, specifically: a. High limit switches b. Water pressure switch c. Automatic gas valve d. Power interface/Temperature control e. Flue temperature sensor f. Control circuit fuse g. Ignition control h. Air pressure switch inspect the heater on a regular basis (especially after abnormal weather conditions), and arrange to have a professional inspection at least once a year by a qualified service technician. A WARNING For your safety, when starting the heater, keep your head and face away from the exhaust grill opening and blower inlet grill to prevent any risk of personal injury. Make sure all doors/panels are securely in place and stand back from the heater. • Keep the top of the heater, under the heater, and surrounding area clear of all debris and combustible materials such as paper, leaves, etc. • If there is a pressure relief valve, check for corrosion in and around the valve. If there is corrosion, turn off the filter pump and replace the pressure relief valve. • Once a year check that water is running freely through the pressure relief valve. To check, turn on the filter pump and lift the release lever on the top of the valve. • Be sure combustion air and ventilation openings are not blocked. • Inspect the inlet grill at the blower for blockage, leakage, and corrosion. • Inspect the combustion blower for damage. • Conduct a normal operating cycle and observe that the sequence proceeds as intended. • If the heater is equipped with a pressure relief valve, clean any accumulated corrosion and make sure that water runs freely when lever is lifted. • Inspect combustion chamber and blower exterior for corrosion and indication of improper operation. • Inspect electrical controls for deterioration. Repair and replace as necessary. • Visually check the main burner flame. Remove the top of the heater to inspect the sight glass. See Figure 20 Figure 20.
