JXi VersaFlo™ Bypass
6.1.1 Manual Bypass Valve
A manual bypass valve is to be installed in any system in
which the pump ow exceeds 100 gpm to the heater.
• Connect a valve between the water inlet and outlet.
See inset “a.” in Figure 10.
• Adjust the valve to bring the ow rate within the
acceptable range. See Table 4.
• Remove the valve handle to avoid tampering.
6.1.2 Pump Sizing for New Pool Construction:
When sizing a pump for the system, the head loss
for all system components must be added together
when determining the design ow rate. Component
“Head Loss at Flow” curves are available from
equipment manufacturers.
NOTE: Inordertoproperlyestablishheadlossatowforalter,

head loss (23 extra feet of head). This must be considered when
sizing a pump for a new pool system.
6.1.3 Pump Sizing for Replacement in an Existing Pool:
If the JXi heater replaces a different model of heater,
determine if the existing pump is capable of providing
the minimum ow of 30 gpm. JXi heaters are high
efciency heaters. Heaters typical of this construction
may have higher head loss characteristics than the one
being replaced.

6.2 Plumbing Connections
The heater has a standard 2 inch water manifold and
coupling design. With this feature, only nominal two inch
PVC or CPVC may be connected to the heater. However,
by installing appropriate pipe adapters and two-inch pipe
(supplied by the installer), any size existing pipe may be
tted to the heater.
