WHAT IS CONDENSATE?
Condensate is produced when the flue gas temperature of a gas fired boiler, water
heater or furnace drops below approximately 130°. The condensate is made up of
several ingredients and will generally have a pH of between 2.9 and 4. At this level,
it is considered acidic and can cause serious damage to piping systems, treatment
facilities and septic systems.
WHY IT’S ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY CONDENSING
APPLIANCE TO INCLUDE A CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZER
A fully condensing appliance can produce condensate
at the rate of approximately .75 gallons per hour per
100,000 BTUs. Apart from the fact that most if not
all plumbing codes prohibit the disposal of acidic
or hazardous waste without treatment, untreated
condensate can cause serious damage to drainage
piping and fittings. While condensing gas equipment
condensate is acidic, it is the amount produced that is of
concern. Condensate from these appliances can produce
hundreds to thousands of gallons per year depending on size and operating hours.
