Portable Electric Heater with the Portable Baptistry

™

120V Heats Up in 24 to 36 hours ≈ 1°F per hour

240V Heats Up in 6 to 8 hours ≈ 4°F per hour

NOTE:

240v is more powerful, yet 120v outlets are more common to locate and thus 120v is generally more

convenient to use. 120v is also more feasible to operate with extension cords.
Most Portable Baptistry users set up the Portable Baptistry 24 to 36 hours ahead of baptism time, so 95% of users
will operate the Portable Electric Heater on 120v for convenience.

WARNING: TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INJURY, ALL REPAIRS AND MODIFICATIONS

TO THE HEATER SHOULD ONLY BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PROFESSIONAL.

IMPORTANT: The 240v power cord must be 4 wire, 8 or 10 AWG (Black, White, Red & Green Wires).
IMPORTANT: The 240v Plug must be 4 prong, 240v, 30A. (Twist-Lock Plug & Outlet recommended.)

IMPORTANT: The 240v Breaker in your Breaker Panel must be 30A and must be GFCI Protected.

IMPORTANT!

The Portable Electric Baptistry Heater operates in conjunction with the

Submersible Pump and Thermal Cover included FREE with every Portable Baptistry purchased
from PortableBaptistry.com.
The Submersible Pump circulates the water from the Baptistry to the Heater, and back to

the Baptistry with the 2 short Garden Hoses conveniently included. (See Instructions enclosed)
If you do not have the Submersible Pump and Thermal Cover they are available for purchase

from PortableBaptistry.com

IMPORTANT!

The Baptistry must have the Thermal Cover in place to prevent heat loss during

the heating process. Without the Thermal Cover on the Baptistry, the water will not heat up

on 110 volt use.

IMPORTANT!

During Heater operation on 110v, the water temperature will rise approx. 1°F

per hour but will not feel much warmer to the touch coming out of the Heater, because it is
heating the whole Baptistry 1°F per hour on 110v (4°F rise per hour on 220v).

Therefore, use the Floating Thermometer to establish your starting water temperature

and to monitor Heater progress until the Baptistry reaches approx. 80°F, and the water
temperature rise feels more obvious to the touch.

NOTE:

Comfortable water temperature for Baptism ranges from of 80°F to 95°F. If starting

water temperature is 60°F for example, allow 24 hours of heat up time to reach a comfortable
84°F (1°F rise per hour on 110v).

In the winter time when tap water temperatures may be colder, it is recommended that

the Heater be started 30 to 36 hours ahead of Baptism Service, to give it enough time to heat
and reach the comfortable Baptism temperature range.

120V Heats Up in 24 to 36 hours ≈ 1°F per hour

240V Heats Up in 6 to 8 hours ≈ 4°F per hour

Converting the Portable Electric Heater to 240v requires the following (see the schematic for dertails):

Inside the Heater Enclosure, replace the 3 wire, 12 AWG, 120v GFCI Cordset with a 4 wire, 8 to 10 AWG power

cord that is the proper length to reach to your 240v outlet without the use of extension cords, along with a 4
prong, 30A, 240V plug.

, Also inside the Heater Enclosure, move the Blue Jumper wire from the right side of the Contacter, to the

Terminal Block (see Schematic)

240v breaker in your Breaker Panel must be 30 A and GFCI Protected.

IMPORTANT:

The 10 gage power cord must be 4 wire, 8 to 10 AWG (Black, White, Red, Green), and the 240v Plug

must be 4 prong, 240v, 30A. NOTE: Use a Twist-Lock Plug and Outlet configuration for best connection.

NOTE:

Though 240v is more powerful (4°F rise per hour), 120v (1°F rise per hour) outlets are more common to

locate and thus 120v is more convenient to use than 240v. 120v is also more feasible to use with extension cords.
Since most Portable Baptistry users set up the Portable Baptistry 24 to 36 hours ahead of baptism time, most use
the Portable Electric Heater on 120v and it works great.

AVOID RISK OF FIRE, SHOCK, WATER DAMAGE, AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT

BY FOLLOWING ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND USING PROPERLY!

The Portable Electric Heater is a circulation style heater that is designed for use with the Portable Baptistry™.
It is operated in conjunction with the Submersible Pump and Thermal Cover included with every Portable Baptistry™.

The Portable Electric Heater can be used with other baptistries. Performance will be dictated by the baptistry’s
insulation and thermal covering, as well as the location’s ambient room temperature and starting water temperature.

IMPORTANT:

During heat up, the Thermal Cover must be on the Baptistry to prevent heat loss.

Without the Thermal Cover floating in place on the water, heat up will not occur on 120V.

Drain Pumps, Hoses, Thermal Covers, Floating Thermometers and more are available at http://portablebaptistry.com

This Portable Baptistry Electric Heater can be converted from 120V to 240V

(see page 4)

120V heats up in 24 to 36 hours ≈ 1°F per hour

240V heats up in 6 to 8 hours ≈ 4°F per hour

Comfortable water temperature for Baptism is generally 80°F to 95°F. Thus, if the starting water temperature is 60°F
for example, allow 24 hours of heat up time to reach a comfortable 84°F, as the heat rise is 1°F per hour on 120V.
If the Heater is converted to 240V, allow just 6 hours of heat up time, as the heat rise is 4°F per hour on 240V.

Allow more time for heat up when the tap water is colder. In the winter, 36 to 48 hours may be required to reach the
comfortable Baptism temperature range of 80°F to 95°F on 120V. On 240V, allow 8 to 12 hours.

NOTE:

This Heater is thermostat controlled with a maximum temperature of

≈

100°F.

The Heater is heating when the Light on the front is on. But, the water coming out of the Heater will not

feel

warmer

on 120V at 1°F per hour. Instead, use a Floating Thermometer to check Heater progress.

For best Heater performance with the Portable Baptistry:

• set up indoors in an ambient room temperature above 60 degrees (F) for minimal heat loss
• fill the baptistry to no more than 4 inches from the top
• alway use heater with the Thermal Cover floating in place on the water

IMPORTANT WARNINGS TO PREVENT FIRE, SHOCK, WATER DAMAGE AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

WARNING: DO NOT PLACE HEATER IN WATER.

Operate Heater a minimum of 5 feet from Baptistry, keeping Heater

dry during operation (and storage) to prevent equipment damage and potentially fatal electric shock.
If Heater or power connections become wet, unplug immediately and dry thoroughly before plugging in.

WARNING: STAND HEATER UPRIGHT DURING OPERATION

to avoid damaging malfunction and potential injury.

WARNING: PLUG HEATER AND PUMP INTO FULLY GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLETS ONLY.

WARNING: DO NOT ENTER BAPTISTRY WHEN HEATER AND PUMP ARE OPERATING OR OTHERWISE PLUGGED IN.

Always unplug and remove Heater and Pump from the Baptistry area before entering the Baptistry.

IMPORTANT:

Conversion of the Portable Electric Heater from 120v to 240v is straightforward but should only be

done by an experienced electrical professional.

Though 240v is more powerful (4°F rise per hour), 120v (1°F rise per hour) is generally more convenient than 240v,
since 120v outlets are more common than 240v outlets, and 120v is also more feasible to use with extension cords.
Most Portable Baptistry users set up the Portable Baptistry 24 to 36 hours ahead of baptism time thus using the
Heater on 120v works well and is most common.

Converting the Heater to 240v (see Skimatic) requires the following:
1) Replacing the 12 gage, 3 wire, 120v cordset with a 10 gage, 4 wire power cord and plug that is the proper length
to reach your 240v outlet without the use of extension cords.
2) Inside the Heater, move the Blue Jumper wire from the side of the Contacter, to Terminal Block.
3) 240v breaker in your Breaker Panel should be 30 Amp and GFCI Protected.

IMPORTANT:

The 10 gage power cord must be 4 wire (Black, White, Red, Green), and the 240v Plug also 4 prong.

NOTE:

Use Twist-Lock Plug and Outlet configuration for best result.

This Portable Baptistry Electric Heater can be converted from 120V to 240V

(see User Guide)

120V heats up in 24 to 36 hours ≈ 1°F per hour

240V heats up in 6 to 8 hours ≈ 4°F per hour

120V / 240V Convertible • Thermostat controlled • GFCI Protected (120V)

120V = 1500 W/12.5A • 240V = 6000W/25A

The Portable Baptistry Heater is a circulation style heater that is designed for use with the Portable Baptistry™, as well as

any baptismal tank, moveable or permanent.
It operates in conjunction with the Submersible Pump and Thermal Cover included with every Portable Baptistry™.

The Temperature Knob on the front of the Heater controls the internal thermostat which is calibrated to a maximum
water temperature when set to “HIGH” of 98° to 102°F (approx. 38°C). Comfortable water temperature for baptism
is generally considered to be 80° to 95°F, depending on ambient room temperature.

For optimal Portable Baptistry Heater performance when used with the Portable Baptistry™:

• Set up the Portable Baptistry Heate indoors in an ambient room temperature above 65°F

• Fill the Portable Baptistry to no more than 3 inches from the top of the baptistry
• Use the Portable Baptistry Thermal Cover floating in place on the water in the baptistry

The Portable Baptistry Heater can be used with other type of baptistries. Heater performance will be subject to the baptistry’s
size (gallonage), the baptistry’s insulation and use of thermal covering to prevent heat loss, and ambient room temperature.

Maximum Convenience of 120 volt Configuration

The Portable Baptistry Heater is pre-configured for 120 volt and plugs into a standard 15 amp grounded receptacle, allowing
immediate and convenient use.

IMPORTANT:

The Baptistry must have the Thermal Cover in place, floating on the water, to prevent heat loss during the

heating process.

Without the Thermal Cover on the Baptistry, the water temperature will not heat up using 120V.

Maximum Performance of 240 volt Configuration Conversion

The Portable Baptistry Heater can be easily converted by an electrical professional to 240 volt for more powerful use.

IMPORTANT:

When converting the wiring of this Heater for 240 volt use, the Power Cord and Plug replacement must be

4 wire, 8 to 10 AWG Cord, and 240V, 30A, 4 prong Plug. The 240V Circuit Breaker installed in the facility breaker panel,

MUST BE

a 240 volt, GFCI protected, 30A Circuit Breaker. See the enclosed schematic for proper wiring.

WARNING!

Only electrical professionals should convert the Portable Electric Heater wiring for 240V use.

Monitoring Heater Performance during 120 volt use

IMPORTANT:

To the human touch, the water temperature will not

feel

warmer coming out of the Portable Electric

Heater during 120 volt heater operation.

Remember, it is heating up the whole Portable Baptistry™ 1°F per hour on 120

volt, unlike the more obvious

feel

of 4°F rise per hour on 240 volt.

Therefore, please use an actual Thermometer to establish and log your starting water temperature, and to then monitor

the progress until the water temperature reaches approx. 80°F, and feels more obvious to the touch.
Convenient Floating Thermometers are available for purchase from PortableBaptistry.com

Comfortable Water Temperature for Immersion Baptism

Generally, comfortable water temperature for Baptism ranges from of 80°F to 95°F. If starting water temperature is 60°F
for example, allow 24 hours of heat up time to reach a comfortable 84°F (1°F rise/hour on 120v).

NOTE:

During the winter when tap water temperatures are generally colder, it is recommended that the Portable Electric

Heater be started 30 to 36 hours ahead of Baptism Service, to allow enough time to heat the Portable Baptistry™ to the
comfortable Baptism temperature range.

It should be circulating via the Pump with both the Inlet and Outlet Hoses connected,

and not running thru the Heater with just one Hose, and not directly from the Faucet.

If not, try a different outlet circuit. If that does not resolve the issue, contact

PortableBaptistry.com for possible replacement of the GFCI.

The Pump and Hoses should be the same specifications as the originals for proper

Circulation Loop setup.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a Pump greater than 1/4 HP. The Inlet Hose must be the

same length and diameter as the Outlet Hose and with no kinks.

If so, remove it from Circulation Loop and use the Filter attached directly to the

Pump for approx. 3-4 hours operating time, separate from the Heating Setup.

If so, an internal Hi-limit Reset may need to be reset. Contact Portable Baptistry.com
