FAQS - Frequently Asked
Questions
1. Are these baptistries
in stock?
Occasionally we have one in
stock, but they are mostly made to order. It takes about 3
weeks to manufacture a baptistry, plus a few days for shipping.
If you are in a urgent need, we can expedite the manufacturing
of your order for a 25% surcharge. This will get your
baptistry made in 5 business days and shipped on the first
available truck. The surcharge allows us to pay our
workers overtime to focus on your baptistry.
Heaters and Accessories are
normally in stock.
2. What are the
baptistries made of?
They are made of polyester
strands of shot or blown fiberglass, sprayed onto a baptistry
pattern, then rolled to make them watertight. Some
structural lumber is used in the base for support but it is all
covered with fiberglass.
3. What is the warranty
on your baptistries?
The warranty is warranted for 10
years against structural defects by the manufacturer, with one
year on interior surfaces. Heaters and accessories have
their own various warranties. Unless the aqua seal is ordered,
baptistries must be drained after each use or the warranty will
be voided.
4. What colors are
available?
Standard colors are blue, white,
aqua, or cream. Optional colors include gel stone
finishes, a unique speckled finish that gives the tank a stone
appearance, in either grey, black or cream. Adds 25% to
the price.
5. Do you offer any
protective finishes for churches that leave water in all the
time?
Yes, although we recommend
draining the baptistry after each use, we recognize that some
denominations need to keep the unit filled at all times. For
this we offer an Aqua Seal finish, which will allow water to be
left in the tub for up to 3 months before changing. The
process uses high performance vinyl resins and there is an
upcharge of 25%. We also recommend the use of a baptistry
filter skimmer found on our
accessories page.
6. Are drain holes
pre-cut into the baptistry?
No, however their are recessed
areas in each corner, so you can cut the whole in whichever area
is best for you.
7. How do I know which
is left entry or right entry?
It is determined by the person
sitting in the congregation and facing the baptistry.
8. Where does the heater
go?
Our basic style circulation
heater can go between side wall bracing on the baptistry.
The deluxe circulation heater can be placed up to 25 feet away
from the baptistry. The immersion style just sits on the
floor of the baptistry and plugs into a 240V outlet nearby.
(GFCI REQUIRED). See
heaters.
9. What about
installation drawings?
Below are suggested installation
techniques, but note that the sizes of each model vary.
We
strongly recommend that you do not frame for the baptistry until
it arrives!
