8. Route the tube from the condensate drain assem-
bly
t o a floor drain or condensat e pump .
NOTICE
When selecting and installing a condensate pump,
ensure the pump is approved for use with condens-
ing 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 filter if required by
authority having jurisdiction.
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 assembly and fill with water
as necessary. Failure to keep the condensate drain
assembly full of water can result in substantial
property 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.
