Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What size pool can the JXiQ 260K BTU heater handle?
A: Generally suitable for pools up to ~20,000–25,000 gallons, depending on climate, desired temperature rise, and pool-cover usage.
Q: What’s the benefit of the VersaFlo feature?
A: VersaFlo improves water-flow efficiency by bypassing the heat exchanger when heating isn’t required, lowering pump energy use and extending component life.
Q: Is this heater low-NOx?
A: Yes, the JXiQ is fully low-NOx compliant and meets stringent environmental requirements.
Q: Does this model include cupro-nickel?
A: No—this specific unit features a copper heat exchanger. For saltwater or aggressive water chemistry, a cupro-nickel version is recommended.
Q: Can it be used for both a pool and a spa?
A: Absolutely. Its 260K BTU output provides fast heat-up times for spas while maintaining steady pool temperatures.
