I. Condensate Removal System
NOTE: Check with your local gas company to determine if
combustion condensate disposal is permitted in your area. In
the state of Massachusetts, condensate must be neutralized
before entering a drain.
This condensing high efficiency water heater has a condensate
removal system. Condensate is water vapor derived from
combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile
when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate
line is sloped down away from the heater and to a suitable drain.
If the heater condensate outlet is lower than the drain, you must
use a condensate removal pump (kit p/n 554200 available from
Westinghouse). If required by local authorities, a condensate
filter of lime crystals, marble, or phosphate chips will neutralize
slightly acidic condensate.
BOILER OR
The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to

freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate
can exit from the water heater tee, resulting in potential water
damage to property. When installing a condensate pump, select
one approved for use with condensing heaters and furnaces. The
condensate pump should have an overflow switch to prevent
property damage from spillage. Condensate from the heater
will be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing
filter if required by local codes.
Power to the optional condensate pump is continuous. When the
water heater is powered off the condensate pump will remain
on. It is important to remember to turn off the condensate pump
when powering down the water heater. Failure to do so could
result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
