Lifting Condensate
An optional condensate pump may be installed if a
vertical lift is required to dispose of the condensate.
The condensate pump can be ordered direct from
your dealer.
Condensate Pump Installation (optional)
A condensate pump can be installed on the condensate
drain line of the Clean Comfort DV090 dehumidifier if
vertical lift is required to dispose of the condensate.
Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote
location when the water level in the condensate pump's
reservoir rises to close the automatic float switch.
In the event the pump fails and water rises too high in
the reservoir a Safety Float Switch will become open.
The leads from this switch should be installed in series
with the yellow or blue field wires to prevent the pump
from overflowing. If the yellow wire is in series with the
Install the digital control in a central area of the home where
it will sense the relative humidity accurately.
I
CAUTION!
Do not install the control where it may not accurately
sense the relative humidity such as near HVAC supply
registers, exterior doors, windows, water sources,
or on an outside wall.
The installer must supply the wiring between the DV090
and the control. Be sure to safely route the control
wiring to prevent damage during installation
I
CAUTION!
Do not cross wires when connecting the DV090 and the
control or damage to the transformer may result. The
remote controls of the DV090 are powered by a low
voltage circuit (24VAC) and must NEVER contact or be
connected to a high voltage circuit.
The control wires leaving the DV090 and the control are
numbered and color-coded to prevent confusion. Some of
the control wires leaving the DV090 may not be used with
certain control and should be left unconnected with wire
nuts taped onto the stripped ends for safety. Be sure to
consult the electrical schematic in this manual or inside
the access panel of the DV090 before making control
connections.
Condensate (Water) Removal
The Clean Comfort DV090 dehumidifier generates
condensate. Condensate drains by gravity via the drain
port. Install a 3/4" male NPT adapter to the drain pan.
It is necessary to assemble your own drain pipe assembly
utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to route the condensate to a drain.
Pitch/grade of drain should be 1" per 10'.
Take care when installing drain pipe to drain port of
the DV090; Use an adjustable wrench to secure the
drain port.

Trapping of Condensate Drain Line
I
CAUTION!
A trap in the drain line is required for the unit to drain
properly. Local codes may require a trap. Use care to keep
the pipe assembly as flat to the floor as possible. Kinks
and/or humps will prevent proper drainage.
When installing the drain hose make sure the feet are
extended such that the dehumidifier is 2 1/2" off the
ground. Then coil the drain hose under itself or position
a spacer to lift the hose 1" off the ground after the hose
has touched the ground. This procedure will create a
trap that ensures your unit drains correctly. See the
diagram below for further visual clarification.
