Condensate Trap

For units incorporating a negative trap design, ensure that
the condensate system is primed with water at all times.
Allowing a negative, pressure condensate system to run
dry could cause a break in the condensate seal allowing
the fan to draw water from the condensate line to spray
moisture into the mechanical system. By maintaining a
primed condensate trap, a seal will be created and will
help prevent these complications.
