The heating capacity of the Astral IXI Gas Heater depends on the model selected, your pool size, location, and whether you use a thermal pool cover. Below are general recommendations for residential pool applications:
- IXI 200: Suitable for spas and small pools up to approx. 35,000 litres (with cover) or 25,000 litres (without cover).
- IXI 370: Ideal for medium to large pools up to approx. 60,000 litres (with cover) or 45,000 litres (without cover).
For cooler climates or faster heating times, consider upsizing your heater. Always consult a pool heating specialist for precise sizing based on your usage, environment, and desired temperature.

The IXI 200 model suits small to mid-sized pools and spas, while the IXI 370 can support medium to larger pools depending on location and climate. For best results, use with a thermal pool cover.
