It may also help to save money by setting the timer during certain points in the day. It would be a good idea to set the timer no earlier than six in the morning at least during the warmer months like June, July and August.  It would be a good idea to also use a solar blanket to help reduce amount of heat loss during the night. Try using the keypad lock to prevent others from adjusting the heat temperature as well.

Does it matter where I install the Jandy LX Heater?

Yes, there are certain suggestions that Jandy offers to help get the most efficiency from your Jandy LX Heater such as make sure that the heater is installed on solid, flat ground. There has to be enough combustion and air ventilation space available both around the heater and above it. Make sure that the heater is properly sized with a gas meter and piping.

Can I install my Jandy LX Swimming Pool Heater myself?
