NBseries Acidic Condensate pH Treatment Kits –– Installation/Operation & Maintenance

Installation

1. Remove Clear Cover machine bolt and nuts at both ends of cover.

2. Remove shipping bubble wrap and safely discard.

3. Remove “Date of installation label” and the “red warranty tag”.

4. Remove the wall mounting “J” hook brackets.

5. Remove the pH power pellet™ bag.

6. Remove porous pellet bag from plastic shipping bag before placing in the NBT-23 tank.

Wall hung units:

1. Secure the “J” brackets through the holes provided 10” apart to the wall using the proper screws or bolts to handle eight pounds

of weight. If mounting to the jacket of boiler, hot water heater, or furnace caution should be taken not to damage wiring or any

components of these units with your mounting anchors. Place the NBT-23 tank into the “J” hooks; it is now ready to be piped. We

highly recommend using ¾” schedule40 PVC pipe and ﬁttings.

2. The outlet port of the NBT-23 pH treatment tank shall be below the condensate drain of the boiler; hot water heater, furnace, and

stack drain. The heating units condensate drains shall be piped to the tank inlet port. The outlet port of the tank can be piped to an

open house waste drain or condensate pump system. Follow the piping diagram in this manual which best applies your installation.

3. Do not terminate the tank outlet piping outside where temperatures will reach freezing or below (32F or 0C).

4. Once mounting and piping are complete assure that the black ABS ﬂow bafﬂe is placed ﬂatly on top of the mounting ribs at the

bottom of the tank.

5. Remove the pH power pellets™ from the plastic shipping bag and place the single pellet bag ﬂat, evenly and on top of the black

ABS ﬂow bafﬂe. Do not remove the pellets from the polyester mesh bag. It is important that the bag and pellets ﬁt squarely across

the ABS bafﬂe so as not to let acidic condensate bypass the pellets.

6. Before operating the boiler, hot water heater, furnace or stack, ﬁll the NBT-23 tank with fresh tap water to the tank outlet port.

Also ﬁll any “P” traps with fresh tap water. NEVER OPERATE THE NBT-23 TANK DRY.

7. Replace the clear cover with the bolts and nuts provided, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. The ﬂow arrow should always point in the

direction of the outlet port (Highest Port on the tank).

8. Pipe hangers or brackets should be used to support all piping.

9. Place the “Installation Label” on the side on the NBT-23 tank so as to be visible to the end user. Indicate on which date the unit

was installed. Also place the stringed “Red Warranty” tag in close proximately to the outlet port and advise the owner of the need to

replace the pellet bag at least once a year at minimum or if the pH falls below 5.0 pH which ever occurs ﬁrst. Also advise the owner

of the need to ﬁll out the warranty card online at www.jjmboilerworks.com or via mail.

Floor mounting units:

1. Place the NBT-23 tank in a location where it will not be a foot trafﬁc hazard.

2. The “J” hook brackets may be used if the tank is place next to a wall or heating unit.

3. Follow steps 1-9 in the “WALL HUNG” section.

Operational Flow:

1. Once the heating unit is ﬁred and acidic condensate is produced the condensate will ﬂow from the heater condensate drain down

into the NBT-23 tank’s inlet port. The acidic condensate enters the bottom chamber of the tank below the ABS ﬂow bafﬂe. The acid

will now ﬂow up through the ABS bafﬂe ports via gravity and slight head pressure at which point it comes in contact with the Mag-

nesium Hydroxide Pellet bag (pH Power Pellets™). A chemical reaction now takes place in which ions from the acid and pellets are

exchanged raising the ph level of the acid in the range of 5.0 to 9.0 pH. In this ranged the condensate can be safely be put to a waste

drain via the NBT-23 outlet port and piping.
