The traditional material and the cheapest to build. It transfers heat well and does fine on well-balanced chlorine water, but it's the least forgiving of low pH, high chlorine and salt. Water chemistry has to stay in range for a copper exchanger to reach its full life.
See every material side by side on the comparison page, or read the Jandy heater error messages guide for what the display is telling you.
Most to least forgiving of salt and unbalanced water.

The JXi400N is rated at 399,000 BTU/hr input. Heater size comes from your pool's surface area and the temperature rise you want, not from gallons, and the pump and plumbing have to deliver the flow the heater needs. Use our heater size calculator for a starting number, and we confirm it on site before quoting.
Only through a compatible automation system. The JXi400N has no Wi-Fi of its own, so the app control comes from the automation system it's wired to.
