How much fireside condensate will my equipment develop?
Hot water heaters / Boilers / Furnaces / Economizers
Multiple Boiler Common Flue drains: 33.3% of total BTU input of connected equipment.
Example: (3) Boilers @ 100,000 BTU Input would need a pH treatment kit rated @ 100,000
BTU for the stack drain and a flow rate of .725 to .798 depending on efficiency.
Consider the following when choosing a neutralizer for less maintenance during operation
of your heating equipment.
1. Your location in relation to weather (Very Cold, Cold, Moderately Cold)
2. System Design (Process, Radiate, Snow Melt, Heating, etc.)
3. Yearly Operating Hours
4. pH level out of heating equipment (3.2 to 4.0 is normal)
5. If pH out of the heating equipment is below 3.2 pH contact the factory for sizing.
6. Abnormally low pH out of the equipment condensate drain can be caused by the following:
A. Improper Combustion
B. Contaminated Combustion Air
C. High Sulfur Content in Gas Supply
D. pH below 2.0 is considered hazardous waste by EPA. Contact JJM Technical
Service at 413-427-3373 or 413-527-1893
JJM highly recommends operating your heating equipment for 24-48
hours prior to connecting a neutralizer so as to flush out dirt, grease, and
oils from connected piping and the heater. This is also the best time to check
the heater condensate pH level for sizing your neutralizer.

WARNING
JJM neutralizers are sized by BTU input to establish a flow rating.
Job site conditions will determine neutralizer design. See GPH chart below.
