Astral JX 130 Benefits
Rapid pool and spa heating. The JX 130 is designed to heat spas quickly and warm residential pools far faster than many traditional heating systems, making it ideal for on-demand comfort and occasional heating use.
Compact wall-mounted installation. Its wall-mounted design helps free up valuable floor space in the equipment area while also improving service accessibility and installation flexibility.
Efficient fan-powered combustion. The built-in fan-forced draft system improves combustion efficiency while allowing the heater to operate with reduced installation clearances compared to standard natural draft gas heaters.
Perfect for tighter spaces. Thanks to its compact design and reduced clearance requirements, the JX 130 works well in modern residential equipment areas where installation space may be limited.
Durable stainless steel burner system. The stainless steel Venturi burners are designed for efficient flame distribution, quieter operation, and long-term corrosion resistance under Australian pool conditions.
Designed for convenient residential heating. The JX range is ideal for pool owners who want fast heating performance without needing to run a heating system continuously for long periods.
