Somce can run on 208 or 230 or even 110, just remember that you get reduced heating capacity with 208 or 230 and significantly reduced capacity (about 75% less) when running on 120v and some heaters and pumps will not work on the lower voltages and require 240v. The 11kw heater has twice the heating power of the 5.5kw heater but does require a larger breaker than the 5.5kw in most instances. We also have 1.5 kw and 3kw heaters but the vast majority of churches get a 5.5kw or an 11kw heater. Armed with this knowledge, you can decide if you need a 5.5kw or 11kw heater. if faucet temp is 50 degrees and you want 90 degrees then you need to raise the water temp 40 degrees. You will need to check the temperature of the water out of the faucet. Note this may not be enough to warm the water. Use our Water Heating Chart to determine the amount of time it will take to heat your water by 30 degrees.How quickly do you need to heat the water? Most churches fill the baptistry on Friday and then turn the heater on when they leave Friday afternoon so the water is ready Sunday morning. Example is 450 gallons i n the main tank +75 gallons for a single entry =525 gallons total. 5ft x 4ft x 3ft x7.5=450 gallons THEN add 75 gallons for each set of steps (this is a typical estimate). Determine your baptistry gallon capacity: Measure the main tank without steps and use this formula (LxWxHx7.5=gallons) i.e. How to pick the right heater for your baptistry.
