Good morning. I had replaced my pool heater last year. I had a Jandy JXI 400k BTU installed.
With my older LXI - the water always circulated through the heater. With the new JXI - i think the water only circulates through the heater when the heater is actually on. Just dawned on me ( and i hope its not tool late) that if the water doesn't circulate through the heater - then when the freeze protect kids in - the water will circulate through the pumps keeping them from freezing but it won't circulate through the heater and that might freeze.
Anyone confirm if my thinking is correct?
If so - we had a hard freeze last night - the pumps have been running for about 12 hours so i know the freeze protect is working...should i try and fire up my heater and see if the water will flow?
Thanks Mac
