@@PipeDoctor Thank you very much

I like the pool heater videos. That sucks when a relatively new product fails - and it's usually just after the warranty expires.

Awesome. Thanks

Could the heater exchanger be removed cleaned and pressure tested and the leak silver soldered or brazed

The exhaust pipe! Bushes laying all over it 😂

Here in Arizona many people use a heat pump on their pool since it can be run in heating mode during cool months (November to May) and then in cooling mode during the really hot months (July to September). I don't have one so by midsummer my pool water is about 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make sure you add a corrosion resistant check valve before that chlorinator.

JXI is a 3 year heater here in Florida.

Add a Vera flow valve to jxi the will prevent water from moving through when not in use. I would also have a check valve between heater and sanitizer.

I like how they Camouflage the equipment

You have to be very meticulous about your pool water with a pool heater, unbalanced water can be corrosive ! Thanks again for the videos. 😐👍🏻🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🇺🇲

If ph drops below 7.2 yes otherwise you are high on scale. We practice lsi and csi on all pools and keep a log. Many times they try and blame pool guys. But these jandy heaters are failing sometimes well before 6 months mark. Couldn't ruin a heater from chemistry this soon even if ya tried. Jandy own manual says that allow for ph to be 6.8 and alk upwards 180ppm. It's not chemistry issue. Product issue and most likely it's electronics wiring with pressure switch or pressure switch itself. This is Also stated in the troubleshooting guide in jandy manual. Igniter has it own fault code same with flow error

Calcium deposits such as that are due to poor water chemistry maintenance. Once the water can not hold calcium any longer it deposits in the warmest parts of the pool/ heater and it salt cell. PH and Alkalinity need to be checked every 4 to 7 days and calcium levels monthly.

Wait so why did it go bad? What caused it ??

It all has to do with water chemistry and if you only pay your pool guy $100/month don't count on it to be ideal.

Low calcium hardness in the water could cause calcium build up too.

Most likely bad water chemistry, which is the cause of most heater failures. Most companies only test ph and cl levels and forget about the alkalinity levels which will eat the cooper in your pool heater.

I take my water to Leslie at least every 2 weeks to be tested and ALWAYS FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE. The only reason these heaters fail is that they are garbage to begin with and NEVER SHOULD BE USED TO HEAT YOUR POOL WATER!!!!

I see this often, most times from poor installation and wrong orientation of pool equipment. (Heater not being installed after filtration and before the electronic or cemical clorinater) and if installed correctly, no check valves in place to prevent backflow contamination. Also, with salt water pools, the cartridge type filters are junk compared to sand media filters.

Lmao cartridge filters better than sand. You also should use corrosion resistant check valves but even jandy stands by regular spa jandy style check valves between cell and heater Go figure.

5 to 10 years on residencial poosl and less than 5 year on commercial pools. JXI heaters are so bad that they last less than 4 years.

That Equipment doesn’t look Cheap so Why does it DIE in three (3) years ? Breach of Heat Exchanger ? Absolutely Unacceptable and Ridiculous. 🤪👎

The reason the heater is wired in with the pump is bc you want the heater to turn off with the pump, otherwise you could catch the heater on fire or burn the heater and other items up. Also, the calcium build up is bc it's a salt pool and they most likely don't pay attention to their pH and calcium levels like they should.

That’s gotta be made by Raypak. Pure junk.
