Product Overview

The Jandy JXiQ™ JXiQ260PK is a premium 260,000 BTU propane gas pool and spa heater engineered for fast, efficient heating and intelligent equipment monitoring. As part of Jandy's next-generation JXiQ lineup, this heater combines the proven compact JXi platform with advanced diagnostic technology, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a factory-installed VersaFlo™ Integrated Bypass for improved hydraulic performance and enhanced equipment protection.

Designed for both new construction and equipment upgrades, the JXiQ260PK features an ultra-compact footprint that fits easily on most equipment pads while providing rapid pool and spa heating. The VersaFlo integrated bypass automatically optimizes water flow through the heat exchanger, reducing system head loss and helping protect the heater during varying pump speeds.

The JXiQ continuously monitors critical operating conditions using multiple onboard sensors. The large backlit display provides detailed heater status, diagnostic information, estimated heat-up time, and service notifications. Bluetooth connectivity allows technicians to access diagnostic information during installation and servicing, helping reduce troubleshooting time.

This model operates on propane gas (LP) and automatically detects either 120V or 240V electrical service, eliminating manual voltage selection during installation.

Benefits

The JXiQ260PK is designed to provide dependable heating while simplifying installation and long-term maintenance. The integrated VersaFlo bypass automatically regulates water flow through the heater, helping improve efficiency across a wider range of pump speeds while reducing unnecessary hydraulic restriction.

Unlike traditional heaters that require manual voltage configuration, the JXiQ automatically recognizes the incoming electrical supply, making installation faster and reducing setup errors.

The intelligent monitoring system continuously checks water flow, inlet and outlet temperatures, gas pressure, ignition performance, and operating conditions. Service technicians can quickly identify faults using the onboard diagnostics and Bluetooth connectivity, minimizing downtime and simplifying repairs.

Its compact cabinet allows the heater to fit into many equipment pads where larger heaters cannot, making it an excellent replacement for older pool heaters.

Specifications

Installation Information

The heater should be installed on a level, non-combustible equipment pad with proper ventilation and service clearance. Propane supply piping must be properly sized to deliver adequate gas pressure under full load.

The JXiQ260PK is approved for outdoor installation and select covered outdoor applications when installed according to Jandy installation requirements. Water connections accommodate 2-inch plumbing using PVC/CPVC or Jandy threaded unions.

Electrical installation requires proper grounding, bonding, and circuit protection. Installation must comply with local fuel-gas, plumbing, and electrical codes and should be completed by a qualified pool professional or licensed contractor.
