Astralpool IXI / Zodiac JXi Igniter Kit - R0457502

Astralpool IXI / Zodiac JXi Igniter Kit - R0457502

This is the genuine Zodiac igniter kit, part number R0457502, for Astralpool IXI and Zodiac JXi gas pool and spa heaters. The same part fits both heater sizes, the 200 and the 370. On the parts diagrams it is item 13 on the electrical system diagram and item 8 on the combustion chamber diagram.

• Physically Stocked, unlike most "drop-shipping" websites.
• Shipped from VIC, NSW, WA, QLD

What This Part Does

This is the hot surface igniter. When current is passed through its ceramic material it reaches a temperature high enough to ignite the air and fuel mixture (Astralpool IXI manual, section 2.8).

The ignition control powers it after the blower's pre-purge, the gas valve opens once ignition temperature is reached, and the igniter powers down when a stable flame is detected.

The igniter appears on two diagrams under the same part number: item 13 on the electrical system diagram and item 8 on the combustion chamber diagram.

The Rating Plate Rule (rev. IXJ-1.0)

Identify the part by the heater it came from:

1. Find the rating plate. It is inside the heater, on the outside of the combustion chamber, and shows the model number, serial number and gas type. Zodiac's JXi manual says these are needed to identify the correct part.
2. Check the badge. Astralpool IXI and Zodiac JXi heaters use the same part number for this part, so either badge is fine.
3. Check the size. R0457502 is listed for both the 200 and the 370, so the heater size doesn't change the part.
4. Match the diagram. On the electrical system diagram this part is item 13, and on the combustion chamber diagram it is item 8. The diagrams are on our IXI / JXi parts page.

Worked Example

Say the rating plate on your heater reads Astralpool IXI 370 and you need the igniter kit. The IXI and the JXi share this part, and R0457502 covers both the 200 and the 370, so R0457502 is the part to order. A Zodiac JXi 200 takes the same R0457502.

Fitting Notes From the Manual

A summary for the qualified technician doing the job. It does not replace the manufacturer's manual.

1. The heater must be installed and serviced by a gas fitter licensed and qualified in pool equipment, in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.
2. Before opening the heater, turn the controller off, turn off all electrical power to the heater and shut off the external gas supply valve.
3. Label all wires before disconnecting them. The manual warns that wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
4. Test all gas connections for leaks with a soap solution. Never use an open flame to test for leaks.
5. Verify proper operation after servicing. Don't use the heater if any part has been under water; have a qualified service technician inspect it first.
