Note:
This heater is designed to be used with water only, as furnished by municipal water distribution systems.
The warranty does not cover its use with mineral, sea, salt, or any other non-potable water. The minimum
piping to be used in the suction and return connections of the heater to the baptistry is to be 1.5" Schedule
40PVC.
1. Locate the EQAS system in an accessible area adjacent to the baptistry tank. The area should be at the
same elevation as the tank itself, or as near as possible. Installation must be in a manner that no person can
touch the water or any source of electrical power. Electrical power considered accessible when they can be
touched by a person having a 6' reach (1.83m) from inside the tank. This is only necessary if the heater
assy and the tank ARE NOT divided by a solid wall or partition which would make physical contact
impossible.
The system must be located in an indoor location only, with a minimum clearance of six (6) inches to
Ÿ
all combustible construction.
For best efficiency, the heater should be located within five (5) feet of the baptistry.
Ÿ
Maintain adequate access clearance for servicing the heater in the event of a problem.
Ÿ
The heater assembly must not be installed on a combustible surface.
Ÿ
Locate the heater in a manner that should any connections between the heater and the tank leak water
Ÿ
damage cannot occur.
2. Position the heater/pump assembly in its approximate location. The centerline of the suction fittings and
inlet to the pump should be 3"- 4" above the bottom of the tank floor.
Ÿ
Mark the locations of the suction fittings, a minimum of 36" apart or on separate walls of the tank.
Using a 2 3/8" hole saw drill holes into the fiberglass shell and install the fittings.
Ÿ
Ÿ
The return fitting should be located directly above and inline with the heater/pump vertical centerline as
far down the tank wall as possible.
Ÿ
Mark the location of the return fitting then using a 2 3/8" hole saw drill the fiberglass and install the
fitting.
3. With the heater/pump assembly positioned in its approximate desired final location, in line and level
with the suction fittings. Determine the exact pump mounting position by preassembling the plumbing as
shown in Figure 1. Be sure to align the pump in such a way that the plumbing is not applying
tension/stress to the baptistry wall. Allowing such tension will cause unnecessary noise/vibration and
can cause leaks.
4. After all parts have been pre-assembled and aligned with the holes, dis-assemble the unit and glue the
necessary connections as shown in Figure 1.
5. Once all glued parts are dry, re-assemble, making sure all gaskets and o'rings are in place on all union
type connections. Union connections should be hand tight only! Over tightening these connections can
cause them to crack and leak.
6. Determine a location for the power air button in a convienent location above water level within 20' of the
heater. Drill a 1 1/4" hole and mount the air button, route the air hose back to the heater and connect to the
air switch. Use caution not to kink or pinch the air hose.
