Instructions / Assembly
Read before proceeding
Failure to comply with these guidelines could
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Canister and lines must be wet
Before operating a V-series neutralizer with a hot
water heater, boiler, furnace, or ue stack drain
ll the V-series canister and all “P” traps with
fresh tap water. NEVER operate with the canister
or “P”traps dry
Application restrictions
• Flue stack drains, condensing boilers, furnaces and hot
water heaters
• Flue pipe condensate drains
• DO NOT exhaust ue gases through the V Series canister,
is not rated for boiler or furnace ue gases. Operating
the V Series canister as exhaust vents can cause injury
or death from carbon monoxide.
• Gas traps must be installed between the boiler, vent drains,
hot water heaters and furnace condensate outlet and the
inlet of all V Series canisters.
• e V Series canister must be installed below sysem P-
traps, boiler, furnace, and breeching condensate drains.
Combined piping options
Flue pipe condensate drains
• Boiler/furnace condensate drain/hot water hearter and
ue condensate drain can be commonly piped to a V
Series canister. Also, the ue pipe must be terminated
so rain water cannot enter the ue pipe.
Recharge canisters regularly
• Canisters should be recharged when pH level moves
below 5.0. e pH should be checked regularly (at least
twice during the rst year of operation) to determine the
required recharging schedule.

DANGER
What is pH?
e pH measurement of a uid is an indicator of the acidity or
alkalinity. Neutral uids have pH of 7.0. Acid uids have pH below
7. And alkaline uids have pH above 7 (up to 14). e pH can be
easily measured using digital pocket pH probe
Condensate pH from condensing boilers and furnaces is typically
around 4. e condensate pH needs to be increased (made more
neutral) to prevent possible damage to cast iron soil pipe, ABS
pipe, septic tanks, plants, wastewater treatment plants and other
materials handling waste water.
V-series condensate neutralizing canisters
increase pH (reduce acidity).
V-series commercial re-side condensate treatment canisters are
designed to raise the pH level of the condensate discharged by
high-eciency boilers and warm air furnaces.
Each change of 1.0 in pH is a 10-times reduction (or increase) in
concentration. e pH of condensate is increased by approxi-
mately 1.0 to 4.0 higher aer passing through NB neutralizing
tanks.
Applying V-series neutralizing canisters
Condensate can be collected from ueways and boiler/furnace/
hot water heater condensate trap outlets. See WARNING section
at le for guidelines on application.
See the JJM sizing chart located on our website,
www.jjmboilerworks.com.
Discharge lines may be mounted overhead with the V-250 pump
combi model.
Follow the guidelines in this manual, the boiler/furnace manual
and all applicable local codes when installing, using and main-
taining V-series Condensate pH treatment canisters.
Installation sequence
1. e V Series must be wall mounted a minimum of 1.75” above
the oor level to be able to remove the canister when replacing the
inner cartridge.
2. e V-250 pump combi can be oor or wall mounted since it is a
factory packaged unit already maintaining the 1.75” for canister
removal.
3. All V-series units must be installed below the appliance condensate
outlet drain. is will allow for gravity ow into the neutralizer inlet
port, through the V-series canister and out the V-series outlet port.
Never use any pumps BEFORE the V-series inlet port. Use only PP
tubing, PVC Pipe, CPVC Pipe, or stainless steel pipe when connect-
ing any JJM neutralizing product.
4. Use PP tubing from the V-250 pump combi units pump outlet port
to the nearest house waste drain.
5. Always use a water trap between the appliance condensate outlet
port and the V Series inlet port.
6. NOTE: Always consult the local authority regarding any require-
ments concerning ue gas condensate handling codes.
7. Connect piping using today’s modern piping practices. See Figures
1,2,3, & 4 for JJM® piping.
