Condensate Drain
On vertical units, the internal condensate drain assembly consists
of a drain tube which is connected to the drain pan, a 3/4 in. PVC
female adapter and a flexible connecting hose. The female adapter
may exit either the front or the side of the cabinet. The adapter
should be glued to the field-installed PVC condensate piping.
On vertical units, a condensate hose is inside all cabinets as a
trapping loop; therefore, an external trap is not necessary. On horizontal units, a PVC stub or stainless steel tube is provided
for condensate drain piping connection. An external trap is required
(see below). If a vent is necessary, an open stand pipe may be
applied to a tee in the field-installed condensate piping.
NOTE: All units equipped with electronic condensate
overflow protection.
In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where
biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed
loop system is recommended. The heat exchanger coils in ground
water systems may, over a period of time, lose heat exchange
capabilities due to a buildup of mineral deposits inside. These
can be cleaned, but only by a qualified service mechanic, as
special solutions and pumping equipment are required. Hot water
generator coils can likewise become scaled and possibly plugged.

In areas with extremely hard water, the owner should be informed
that the heat exchanger may require occasional flushing. Failure
to adhere to the guidelines in the water quality table could result in
loss of warranty.
Units with cupronickel heat exchangers are recommended for open
loop applications due to the increased resistance to build-up and
corrosion, along with reduced wear caused by acid cleaning.
