Operation of the Heater  

 

1. 

Fill the baptismal Pool with fresh water to the proper level (6” below the top of the pool, but 

at least 3” above the water return line (outlet fitting).  Never operate the pump or heater 

without water in the system.  Resulting damage from dry operation is not covered by the 

warranty. 

2. 

Turn the power on to the heater from the main breaker.  Water should now circulate.  If wa-

ter is not circulating, turn the power off and refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide at the back 

of this booklet.   

3. 

Set the thermostat to the desired temperature 

4. 

Check the water temperature using a thermometer (by others) until the desired tempera-

ture is reached.  Adjust the thermostat until a comfortable setting has been reached.   

5. 

Select the operational switch on the front of the heater to operate the system by the time 

clock or allow the system to continuously operate. 

Check for Proper System Operation 

 

 

1. 

Fill the pool with water.  The pool is considered full when the water level is 6” below the top 

of the baptismal. 

2. 

Turn the thermostat to the OFF position 

3. 

Set the Timer Mode Switch to the #2 position (continuous operation) 

4. 

Turn on the power at the breaker. 

5. 

The system is operating properly if the system is idle.   

6. 

Turn up the thermostat.  The pump should start running and, once pressure builds in the 

pump, the system will begin to heat.  The amber “Heater On” light should now be illumi-

nated. 

7. 

If the light does not come on, TURN OFF THE POWER.  Refer to Trouble Guide on page 7. 

Operation of the Time Clock 

 

The system includes a 7 day time clock to allow for automatic control of the system. 

 

1. 

Set the time by spinning the small minute hand of clock in the center of the timer.  Do not 

spin the clock from the outside.  Do not turn the minute hand counter clockwise. 

2. 

Each tooth on the timer, when pushed out,  represents 2 hours of operation.  Consult the 

Temperature Rise chart on the page 8 for mathematically estimated heating times.  Time 

on the chart does not allow for heat rising off the pool, so additional time may be neces-

sary.
