Technical Specifications on ChurchRite Heaters


1.  Immersion Heater #10      Instructions    Brochure

The #10 heater is manufactured using virgin Teflon materials, internal ceramic elements and is covered with high temperature silicone.  Designed for safety, it has a built in thermostat and will not overheat, but will activate the heater at 85 °F and turn off at 105 °F   This heater will never burn out.   GFCI is built into the 15' cord and 120V plug, so it will run on household current.   Suitable for pools up to 150 gallons of water*.  For larger pools, order more.  Just lay the heater inside the pool, and plug it in. Does not circulate water. Install 24 hours before service.  

1000W   8.3 Amps 120V  33" long. GFCI  


2.  Immersion Heaters IMER120V and IMER 240V    Brochure

Immersion Water HeaterThese immersion style heaters are ready to use right out of the box.  No drilling or plumbing of your baptistry is necessary as these heaters "hang" over the side.  Brackets help hold them in place.  The immersion section is made from stainless steel to avoid rust issues.  All heat is confined to the bottom "horizontal" portion of the heater.  There is a "high limit" safety switch which will turn off the unit at 125°F in the unlikely event of a thermostat failure.  Comes with a 48" power cord. (two styles - 120V standard 3 prong or 240V Pig tail).  Adjustable thermostat with indicator light ranges from 55°F to 115°F.  UL Listed

The 120V unit is designed at 1500 watts to heat 20 gallons per hour to a 40 degree rise in temp.  A 100 gallon pool will heat 20 degrees in about 5 hours, 40 degrees in about 10 hours*.  Due to heat loss off the top and ambient room temps, it  is best to allow 18-24  hours for heating.  The 120V unit should only be used with a GFCI outlet to comply with safety and codes. 

The 240V unit is designed for larger baptistries and at 6000 watts is 4 times more powerful than the 120V version.  This model will heat 60 GPH (gallons per hour) to a 40°F rise*.  A typical 750 gallon baptistry can be ready in 12-14 hours, depending on ambient room temperatures and whether a baptistry cover is used.                                     Instructions


3.  Poolside Heater PL 120 and PL 240                 

The New Poolside Heater System is a revolutionary idea for heating your baptistry without compromising your fiberglass wall with inlets and outlets.  This system uses garden houses to pump the water from your baptistry (using the included submersible pump) to the heater which can be placed nearby.  The water is heated then pumped back into the pool, thus circulating the water as it heats.   There are two versions of this style heater, and both feature a full range thermostat, high limit protection, pressure switch which must be activated by the presence of water to turn on the heater, thermal overload protected motor, and can also be used to drain the baptistry.  The entire system weight 18 lbs.

The PL 120 - 120V, which uses 115V household current at 1.5 KW.  The 1/6 HP pump is strong enough to pump the water 15 feet to the heater and 15 feet back.  The Control Box / Heater has a convenient carry handle, receptacle in back to plug in the pump (so both are protected by the GFCI) sturdy base to support the system, and all included fittings to make the system work.  Hoses are included.  The PL 120 draws 14 amps of current and carries a 1 year warranty.  UL listed.

PL 120 - for 100 gallons of water, the temp will rise approximately 4 degrees F per hour.  For 150 gallons, it will rise approx 2.7 degrees per hour.  Not recommended for over 150 gallons of water. If you do not have a cover on it, it will take longer as some heat will escape.

The PL 240 - 240V uses 19 Amps, 4000 W at 240V single phase  (60HZ) current.  You will want to connect this (using the included "pig tail" to a protected GFCI circuit breaker (not included, but available as an accessory item from our dealers or your electrician or local hardware store).  This heater  has 3 times the capacity of the 120V system so it will heat any size baptistry, but works best at pools up to 750 gallons.  This is the Energy Saver model, as it uses 30% energy to heat water than the typical 6 KW system. 

PL240  - for 100 gallons of water, the temp will rise  approximately 16 degrees F per hour.

                For 150 gallons, it will rise approx 10.6 degrees per hour.

                      For 300 gallons, it will rise approx 5.4 degrees per hour.
                      For 500 gallons, it will rise approx 3.3 degrees per hour.
                      For 750 gallons, it will rise approx 2.2 degrees per hour.

 

If you do not have a cover on it, it will take longer as some heat will escape.

4.  Basic Circulation Heater 6 KW or 11.5 KW         Brochure

See illustration at left for water flow. 

Baptistry Circulation Water HeaterThe Basic Circulation Water Heater has been in use for nearly 50 years, and it is the most prevalent model in use by churches nationwide.  These heaters are UL listed and safe to use. Featuring rust resistant Incolay stainless steel heating elements, fiberglass insulated designs, and a 118°F high limit safety switch, they are designed for use with a 240V, single phase,  GFCI protected circuit (GFCI not included, but available from our dealers as an aftermarket item).

The use of chemicals (chlorine, bromine) are not recommend as they will shorten the life span of heaters.  Ozonators can be used in well ventilated areas. 

The 6KW Basic heater features an adjustable thermostat from 60°F to 107 °F.  The pump is a 1/40 HP cartridge style pump, capable of circulating 600 GPH at 1 foot head.  The 6 KW system will heat 100 gallons per hour to a 20 °F rise, so the average 500 gallon baptistry will need 10 hours to rise from 54 °F to 94 °F.
 

The 11.5 Basic Heater features an adjustable thermostat from 47°F to 107 °F. The pump is a 1/40 HP cartridge style pump, capable of circulating 600 GPH at 1 foot head.  The 6 KW system will heat 200 gallons per hour to a 20 °F rise, so the average 500 gallon baptistry will need 5 hours to rise from 54 °F to 94 °F.  An 1000 gallon baptistry will need 10 hours for the same.

Installation

Assemble and make up tightly the complete heater and parts as shown (except slip joint nuts). Locate the most accessible place around the Baptistry for installation. Drill a 2-1/8" diameter hole 4-1/2" up from the Baptistry floor. Smooth hole and install chrome faced inlet flush port, by loosening at slip joint nut. Apply clear RTV sealant under chrome flange. Remove any outside insulation so port rubber gasket fits against outside of fiberglass wall. Measure center to center distance exactly between inlet and outlet fittings. Locate and drill a 2-1/8" hole for top port using method stated above.

Assemble complete heating system onto installed ports. Important - Block under heater or pump to support weight - this prevents leakage of Baptistry wall fittings.

Heaters are shipped with special Installation Instructions regarding wiring, etc.  A licensed electrician should do all necessary wiring and connections to a GFCI protected breaker.

Caution:

Be certain heater is turned off before draining Baptistry. Always fill Baptistry before turning heater on. Dry operation will burn out heating element, and cause failure of the pump. 


5.   Deluxe Circulation Heater  5.5 KW or 11.5 KW       

Model CR-6000 - 5.5 KW   Model CR-6005 11.5 KW

 

Select photos above to enlarge

The Deluxe Circulation Baptistry Water Heater is our "full service" option, offering the latest technology, safety and several options for auto fill, auto drain and baptistry side controls.

The Deluxe model is available in both a 5.5 KW and 11.5 KW version.   Designed for permanent installation with your built in baptistry, both feature thermostatic control at 240V (can be used with 208V at a lower capacity).  On front is the System Diagnostic Center with indicator lights to inform you when the pump is on, the heater is on, if the system fuse has tripped, the high-limit switch has tripped or if there is a system miswire.  The heating element is within an incoloy stainless steel tube which is not subject to rust or light chemical use.  The time-clock model is available by special order only at an additional cost. The heating system is protected by a water pressure switch to assure that water is flowing through the system before the heater is engaged, and a built in GFCI breaker with reset.  Note: a moderate amount of chlorine or bromine may be used in the water with this heater to keep water in a sanitized condition.  Try to maintain a PH of 7.4 to 7.6.

(Make sure the pool is filled before using).

The 5.5 (Model CR-6000) is designed for baptistries up to 750 gallons although it will heat larger pools (it just takes longer).  The heater will heat the water  (assuming 750 gallons) by 3°F per hour, so to increase the temperature from 54°F to 84°F will take about 10 hours.  Of course, ambient room temperatures and whether you use a baptistry cover will affect this number.  The heater includes a built in GFCI breaker for added safety!  You will  need a 45-50A Breaker (do not duplicate the GFI in the breaker).

The 11.5 KW (Model CR-6005) is designed for baptistries from 500 gallons and up.  The heater will heat the water  (assuming 900 gallons) by 5°F per hour, so to increase the temperature from 54°F to 84°F will take about 5-6 hours.  Of course, ambient room temperatures and whether you use a baptistry cover will affect this number.  The heater includes a built in GFCI breaker for added safety!  You will  need a 60A-80A Breaker (do not duplicate the GFI in the breaker).

As always, use a licensed electrician to connect all wiring.

Deluxe Circulation Heater  FAQS:

1. Can the model CR6000 5.5kw & CR6005 11.5kw pump a six foot head? Not a problem; the pressure switch would need to be adjusted accordingly; make sure the weight of the plumbing is not supported by the pump.

2. Can you turn on the circulation part of the pump without turning on heating system? The pump will run 24hrs. The heater kicks in and out by the thermostat.  

3. Is their any additional information about the pump that I can review on paper? All needed information should be in your Owner’s Manual.


All Heater Products Must be protected by a GFCI Breaker before you use them!  This simple procedure will protect your Pastor and Candidates during the Service!
