1. Fill the baptistry to the proper level.
2. Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting
3. Apply power to the system
4. If the pump is connected to the control box, connect the supplied air tubing to the air switch on the top
of the heater control box and the other end to the supplied air button. Pressing this air button will
activate and deactivate the pump only if connected to the control box.
5. Activate the pump by pressing the air button or whatever means are present for activating the pump,
water should now be flowing out of the return fitting.
6. Once all the air has been evacuated from the plumbing you can safely turn the thermostat up, the
heater indicator light should illuminate indicating power is now applied to the heater.
Pump Only Mode:
The EQAS System is designed to allow the pump to run independently of the heater, simply turn the
thermostat to its lowest position and activate the pump as desired.
Warnings:
F We recommend that the power to the heater be shut off when anyone enters the baptistry
F Always turn the power off to the system before draining the baptistry
F Remember there are live electrical connections inside the heater and pump assy.
F Never attempt any service unless power is turned off to the system.
F Do not operate the system unless the water is above the return fitting Operating without a proper
level may cause the heater to operate at a higher internal temperature causing premature failure of
the heater element and/or other components
F Do not heat the water above 100°F. A temperature of 100°F is considered safe for a healthy adult,
hotter water increases the risk of hyperthermia. Special caution is suggested for young children,
aged persons, persons having medical problems and/or on medication.
F Pregnant women need to be alerted to the danger of fetal damage and should consult their
physicians before being baptized.
F Before entering the baptistry users should check the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer; thermostats may vary by as much a 4°F.
F Do not tamper with the controls as scalding can result if safety controls are not in proper order
and/or altered in anyway
High-Limit Protection:
The heater is equipped with a high-limit protection device to disable the heater in the event of water
temperature overheat. If this device trips, reset by pressing the red reset button on the front of the
control box. If the switch trips repeatedly turn the power off to the system and contact a service agent.
DO NOT USE BAPTISTRY UNTIL ISSUE IS CORRECTED
Winterization / Freezing:
If your system is going to be shut off and exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be drained. Water,
when frozen expands and will permanently damage the heater, pump, and plumbing. Turn off the
electrical supply prior to draining and always follow the start-up and filling instructions before re-
applying power to the heater. Damage caused by freeze damage is not covered by the limited warranty.
Drain the pump fully by disconnection the suction union and allowing water to drain completely
