CONDENSATE WATER DRAINAGE
Under normal operation the Heatstar will produce condensate water at a rate up to 0.5 Litres per minute.
Condensate from the unit should be run to a suitable waste drain via a 22mm pipe.
It is necessary that a U-BEND TRAP be included in the pipe to prevent the suction effect of the fans in the
Heatstar from sucking up the condensate water back into the unit. The trap should have a drop of at least
130mm.
The drain pipe must be installed to run downhill.
For ease of cleaning and maintenance, it is advised that some of the drain pipe is push fitted together and not
glued. Equally a short section of transparent pipe would assist is monitoring the condensate flow.
If the drain pipe or drain is positioned outside, care should be taken to ensure that it is not allowed to freeze
during cold weather.
It is not advisable to run the condensate water back to the swimming pool due to the possibility of a light oil
present on new components in the Heatstar polluting the pool water and staining the returning channel.
