Installation & Operation Manual
2.6.2 Service Clearance
Heater must be installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
inside wall of a pool unless the heater is separated from
the pool by a solid fence, wall or other permanent solid
barrier. For US installations, at least 18 inches (22.5 cm)
access must be available from at least one door panel
for service, inspection, and repair (see Figure 2). In
Canada, at least 24 inches (30 cm) is required for service,
inspection, and repair (see Figure 2).
If removing the header panel for maintenance, allow at
least 4 feet (1.2 m) access clearance.
If installing in a garage, consult the applicable National
Building Code for proper placement of protective bollards
or posts to prevent the heater from damage.

2.7 Field Assembly
The JXi heater is shipped from the factory with an exhaust
vent configured for outdoor installation.
The heater is also design-certified for indoor installations
in the United States and outdoor shelter installations
in Canada. The heater has a flue collar for indoor
installations (see Section 3.3.1 for detailed instructions).
Check specifications in Section 2.3 for appropriate vent
connection size (Category I).
Water connections are provided on the right side of the
heater but can be changed to the left side by rotating the
heater 180 degrees, so the water manifold is on the left,
then rotating the top panel so that the control panel faces
the operator.
NOTE:
If the heater is to be operated in below freezing
conditions it should be installed in a protected outdoor
shelter (see Section 2.8.3).
2.8 Location Requirements
CAUTION
When pool equipment is located below the pool
surface, a leak from any component can cause large
scale water loss or flooding. Zodiac Pool Systems,
Inc., cannot be responsible for such water loss or
flooding or resulting damage.
Location of the heater below or above the pool water level
affects operation of its water pressure switch. See sections
on water piping and heater start-up for more information.
All criteria given in the following sections reflect
minimum clearances as stated in the national standards.
However, each installation must also be evaluated, taking
into account the prevailing local conditions such as wind
speed and direction, proximity and height of walls that
may block ventilation, and proximity to public access
areas.
2.8.1 Flooring
The heater must be installed on a level, solid, and firm
surface or platform. Although it is always advisable to
install the heater on a non-combustible surface, the JXi-
series has been CSA-certified for installation on solid,
firm, and level combustible surfaces.
2.8.2 Outdoor Installation
The heater is factory configured for outdoor installation.
WARNING
United States
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent assembly within 4
feet (1.22 m) horizontally, 4 feet (1.22 m) below or less than 1 ft (300
mm) above of any opening into a building. Local codes and installa-
tion requirements may vary.
Canada
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent asembly within 10
feet (3.05 m) of any opening into a building. Local codes and instal-
lation requirements may vary.
• Locate the heater on a level surface in an
open,
unroofed area
. If the heater is to be installed inside a
contained area, refer to venting requirements, Section
2.8.3.
• Do not install the heater under a deck.
• Do not locate the heater below or adjacent to any
doors, glass openings, louvers, grills, etc., which
connect in any way with an inhabited area of a
building, even though the access might be through
another structure (e.g., a garage or utility room).
• In Canada, install the heater so that the top of the vent
is at least 10 feet (3.0 m) from any building opening.
See Figure 3.
