8. Route the tube from the condensate drain assem-
bly to a oor drain or condensate pump.
When selecting and installing a condensate
pump, ensure the pump is approved for use
with condensing appliances. The pump should
be equipped with an overflow switch to prevent
property damage from potential condensate
spillage.
9. The INSTINCT will typically produce a condensate
that is considered slightly acidic with a pH content
below 4.0. Install a neutralizing lter if required by
authority having jurisdiction.
NOTICE
CHAPTER 6 - INSTALLING VENT/COMBUSTION AIR & CONDENSATE DRAIN
The condensate drain assembly must remain
filled with water. Extended periods of non
use or high temperature operation may allow
the water to evaporate. Periodically check
the water level in the condensate drain as-
sembly and fill with water as necessary. Fail-
ure to keep the condensate drain assembly
full of water can result in substantial proper-
ty damage, serious injury, or death.
The drain assembly must remain unobstructed
and allow unrestricted flow of condensate. The
condensate should not be subject to conditions
where freezing could occur. If the condensate is
subjected to freezing or becomes obstructed , it
can leak, resulting in potential water damage
to the boiler and surrounding area.
