Installation & Operation Manual
Section 4. Location Requirements
The JXi heater is shipped from the factory with an
exhaust vent congured for outdoor installation. The
heater is also design-certied for indoor installations in
the United States and for outdoor shelter installations in
Canada. See Section 3.3 for details.
Location of the heater below or above the pool water
level affects operation of its water pressure switch. See
sections 5.3 for more information.
Equipment must be installed on a rm, solid, non-absorbent
level surface; and per the requirements of local codes and
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Equipment can
weigh up to 156 lbs. (57 kg). Use suitably rated mounting
surface materials to avoid risk of settlement, and never use
sand to level the equipment as the sand will wash away.
Check local building codes for additional requirements.
NOTE: If the heater is to be operated in below freezing conditions it
should be installed in a protected outdoor shelter.
CAUTION
When pool equipment is located below the pool surface, a leak from

Pool Systems, Inc., cannot be responsible for such water loss or

4.1 Clearances
The heater must be installed in a location that allows
clearances for maintenance and inspection. Minimum
distances from combustible surfaces must also be
maintained. All criteria given in the following sections
reect minimum clearances as stated in the national
standards. However, each installation must also be
evaluated, taking into account prevailing local conditions
such as wind speed and direction, proximity and height of
obstructions that may block ventilation, and proximity to
public access areas.
Service Clearance: 36 inches (92 cm) from top of heater
for removal of top panel.
18 inches in the US and 24 inches (61 cm) in Canada
from the front panel of the heater. One exception to this is
if the top panel is reversed such that the water plumbing
is now on the left hand side of the heater and the exhaust
is on the right hand side. In this case, you will need the
service clearance from the rear panel of the heater.
Combustible Surfaces: Each heater face requires a
6 inch (15 cm) clearance from combustible surfaces.
Although it is not advisable, the heater base can be placed
on a combustible surface for operation. However, do not
install the heater on carpet.

NOTE: Clearances are manufacturer’s
tested values. These are given as minimum
values. Where local and national codes
apply, and if the clearance values specified
in the applicable codes are different than
those listed in this manual, use the greater
value to ensure safest operation.
NOTE: Service clearance may be
needed from the rear if the top panel
is reversed.
