Our equipment packs are custom-made to match the water feature and liturgical needs of each Church. The equipment packs can be ordered with or without a Water Structures font shell.
Water Structures brings 29 years of custom baptismal font equipment design to each project. The equipment design process begins with the font’s liturgical designer mapping out the desired water feature effect. Water movement and the sound moving water makes in the font can enhance the liturgical experience that the designer is working towards. After working out these water feature considerations with the font’s designer, Water Structures then designs an equipment pack and piping system that will produce the desired liturgical water feature effect.
Pictured above is a raised negative edge baptismal font, designed with a pump, piping, and water inlets so that they do not produce turbulence and allows water to flow equally and quietly over the edge.
Water Structures designs and manufactures custom equipment packs for its own font shells and for fonts built by others.
Each equipment pack comes with detail installation instructions including piping installation drawings, wiring instructions and an installation and operational videos. The installation instructions are provided to the architect and builder as well as on the project’s drop box site. A link to this site allowing the Church’s contractor or subs to access installation information when needed. Throughout the design build process, Water Structures experienced staff is available to discuss any aspect of the installation with the Church’s contractor.
Warranty
All Water Structures custom equipment packs come with a no questions asked two-year limited equipment only warranty. All our equipment is installed with quick disconnect service unions.
Operational Services
Operational instructions are provided with a care and maintenance kit to the church. In addition, the font’s operational instructions as well as operational videos can be accessed easily on the Church’s permanent drop box account. Water Structures service department is also available to answer ongoing operational questions.
