Product Description

The Jandy JXiQ260NK 260,000 BTU Natural Gas Pool & Spa Heater combines powerful heating with advanced diagnostics, smart controls and a compact, installation-friendly design. Built for residential inground pools and spas, the JXiQ provides reliable heating while making it easier to monitor operation and troubleshoot potential issues.

The JXiQ260NK features auto-sensing dual voltage, automatically detecting the incoming power supply for easier installation. A unique low gas pressure switch helps prevent ignition when the heater does not detect sufficient gas pressure.

Advanced onboard sensors provide enhanced self-diagnostic capabilities, helping technicians quickly identify and troubleshoot potential operating issues. The large digital display provides at-a-glance heater status and can calculate estimated pool heat-up time for added convenience.

The JXiQ is also Versa Plumb®-Ready, allowing the heater to be integrated with a bypass configuration that can route water around the heater when heating is not required. By reducing unnecessary flow through the heater, a properly configured bypass can help reduce hydraulic restriction and improve overall circulation efficiency, particularly in systems using variable-speed pumps. Separate bypass equipment may be required.

For additional protection, an integrated sacrificial anode attracts corrosive elements in the pool water away from more susceptible heater components. Its compact footprint and durable enclosure also help protect internal components and make the JXiQ well suited for equipment pads where space is limited.

The JXiQ260NK also supports iAquaLink® connectivity, allowing compatible systems to provide convenient app-based heater monitoring and control. Separate equipment is required for iAquaLink connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fuel does the Jandy JXiQ260NK use?

The JXiQ260NK uses natural gas and provides 260,000 BTU of heating capacity for residential inground pools and spas.

Does the Jandy JXiQ260NK have a bypass feature?

The JXiQ260NK is Versa Plumb®-Ready and can be integrated with a bypass configuration that routes water around the heater when heating is not required. This can reduce unnecessary hydraulic restriction and improve overall pool system efficiency. Separate bypass equipment may be required.

What is the benefit of bypassing the pool heater?

When heat is not required, routing water around the heater can reduce resistance within the pool's plumbing system. This can improve circulation efficiency, particularly when the pool uses a variable-speed pump.

Can the JXiQ260NK connect to iAquaLink?

Yes. The JXiQ platform supports iAquaLink® connectivity, allowing compatible systems to provide convenient heater monitoring and control through the iAquaLink app. Separate equipment is required.

Does the JXiQ260NK have built-in diagnostics?

Yes. Advanced onboard sensors provide self-diagnostic capabilities that help identify potential operating issues and simplify troubleshooting.

What does the low gas pressure switch do?

The low gas pressure switch helps prevent the heater from attempting ignition when it detects insufficient incoming gas pressure.

What does the sacrificial anode do?

The integrated sacrificial anode helps draw corrosive elements in the pool water away from more susceptible heater components, providing an additional level of corrosion protection.

Can the JXiQ260NK calculate pool heat-up time?

Yes. The JXiQ can calculate an estimated heat-up time, giving pool owners a better idea of how long it may take to reach the desired water temperature.
