1.2.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving
Tips
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., offers the following
recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize
the cost of operating your pool heater without sacri-
ficing comfort.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a maxi-
mum water temperature of 78°F (25°C). Use an
accurate pool thermometer. A difference of 4F°
(2°C), between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C),
will use as much as 40% more gas.
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater
usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3. Find the proper setting on the pool heater tem-
perature control and use the Set Point Lockout
feature to discourage further adjustments.
4. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no ear-
lier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating season.
This is the time when nightly heat loss balances.
5. 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 (25°C) level a day or so before you plan to
use the pool.
6. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, shut down the heater by following
the shutdown instructions found on the inside of
the heater.
7. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other land-
scaping, cabanas, or fencing.
8. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on filter systems.
1.3

1.4
Codes and Standards
The LXi pool and spa heaters are design-certified
by CSA (Canadian Standards Association) as com-
plying with the latest edition of the
Standard for Gas
Fired Pool Heaters
, ANSI Z21.56 in the USA and
CAN-4.7 in Canada.
All Zodiac heaters must be installed in accor-
dance with the local building and installation codes as
per the utility or authorities having jurisdiction.
In the absence of local codes, refer to the latest
edition of the following national codes for installation:
1. In the United States, the
National Fuel Gas
Code
®
, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1. Pay particular
attention to the chapter addressing
Venting of
Equipment.
2. In Canada, the
Natural Gas and Propane Instal-
lation Code
, CAN/CSA-B149.1.
However, for
minimum combustion air requirements, table
3 of this manual MUST be followed for proper
and safe operation
. The Jandy LXi heater may
not operate properly when installed with the only
the minimum combustion air openings allowed in
CAN/CSA-B149.1.
The LXi pool and spa heaters meet or exceed the
requirements of energy conservation regulations, such
as those in California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and
other states that require that a pool heater have inter-
mittent ignition. In addition, the natural gas models
of this heater comply with the California South Coast
Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Rule
1146.2 for Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions.
Any changes to the heater, gas controls, gas
orifices, wiring, draft diverter, or improper installation
may void the warranty. If change is required to any of
the above, consult the factory.
