Common Questions
Q. How is the candidate baptized/How do they enter the pool

A. The included fiberglass steps are placed next to the unit and the candidate proceeds up the steps and then steps on to the seat platform. From there they take a step or two towards the other end and then step down into the well where he then sits and is baptized from a sitting position. The minister remains dry, outside the portable baptistry.

Q. Do the steps store in the unit

A. Yes, the included removable steps store inside the tank when not in use.

Q. Do we need to get the top or can we use it without it

A. We have (2) top styles. Our optional wooden communion table top allows the portable baptistry to be used as an altar, communion table or even as a nice looking brochure table in the narthex. The fiberglass top is more utilitarian and is suitable for allowing the unit to be used as a table in the vestibule or a hallway. It also helps in keeping debris and dust out of the unit when in storage. SAFTEY WARNING Tops are not locking and should not be considered as a safety device to prevent children from entering the pool. The church is responsible for ensuring that small children cannot access the pool as they could climb into the unit and drown if the unitis not secured.

Q. How do we fill and heat the unit

A. Fill with a garden hose and use one of the 2 optional immersion heaters to warm the water. If you have access to a hot water tank you can fill the unit with 40-90 gallons of heated water then top off with cold water from a hose.
If you do not have a hot water tank, you can order our immersion heater or our P120 portable baptistry circulation heater

Q. Is there a drain or can we order it with a drain
No drain is available for this unit due to the way it is designed. Most churches drain the unit with a small electric pump available from most hardware stores for under $40 or they purchase our complete fill, heat, drain solution-the P120 Portable Baptistry Heater and Pump!

Q. What is the warranty

A. There is a manufacturer provided 5 year warranty against structural defects, cracking and leakage. We do not recommend leaving water in any fiberglass baptistry for extended periods of time. If you will be leaving water in the baptistry when not in use, please ask about our Aqua Guard surface.

Q. Can we order it with wheels

A. This unit is not offered with wheels. We recommend you get 2 furniture movers (the wooden kind available at most home improvement stores) to move your baptistry. Be sure to remove them before filling or using the baptistery.

Q. Do we need to finish it off or can we use it as is

A. This unit is beautifully finished and ready to use right out of the box. Some churches elect to get skirting around the edges but we do not think you need it.

How to move your portable baptistry We sell wheel kits, but for the money and for safety, we suggest using two wooden furniture dollies.(Just make sure to put the baptistry on the ground before filling it with water)
