Jandy Pool Heater Comparison

Choosing a pool heater is a very important decision, it will need to be a purchase that is research and thought through carefully. With a heater that is too small you won’t noticed the temperature change and waste your money, where if the heater is too big you will be also wasting money when you don’t have too. So we’ve put together a comparison of 3 of Jandy’ s popular swimming pool heaters to highlight what makes each different from the next and what will benefit you the most.

Here is a breakdown of the Jandy Hi-E2, LXi and LJ series heaters, for this comparison all three heaters are natural gass and in the 350k – 400k BTU range:

Hi-E2:

95% heating efficiency (often pays for itself in about 2 years with energy savings)
Forced air induction system makes it great for extreme weather / unusual locations
Eco-friendly NOx emissions, which exceeds environmental standards
No need for pilot lighting with the hot surface ignition system
Made of high-tech composite materials for superior quality
Dual Thermostat controls
LCD display with built in freeze protection

LXi:
	33% lighter and 15% smaller footprint Easy installation with universal 2 in. offset unions Lo NOx through fan assisted combustion with multiple vents High efficiency C-Fin heat exchanger to lower energy consumption 1 touch automation controls No need for pilot lighting with the hot surface ignition system Dual Thermostat controls LCD display with built in freeze protection

Lite 2 LJ:
	Flow through heat baffles allow efficient heat transfer Lighter and more compact due to ceramic fiber combustion No need for pilot lighting with the hot surface ignition system Dual Thermostat controls LCD display with built in freeze protection

As far as cost wise the Jandy Hi-E2 is the most expensive but has the most features and potentially pays for itself in energy savings over other heaters. The LXi is in the middle cost-wise and offers a good amount of features for a lower price. Lastly the Lite 2 LJ heater is the most affordable out of the 3 but lacks in the features that the other 2 do.
