ONDENSATE RAIN
The condensate drain is located in the centre of the water heater underside. The clean out bowl is supplied in a separate box within the heater
packaging; this must be fitted and the condensate water trap filled before the appliance is fired. The condensate trap is fitted with a ¾" flexible
hose that should be connected to an appropriate condensate drain, sloping continuously away from the water heater at an angle of at least 3
(50mm per metre).
The Water Resources Act requires that trade effluent is discharged to municipal sewers between pH 6.5 and 10.0. If it is determined that
these levels cannot be achieved, an in-line condensate neutralisation kit is available as an ancillary option from Lochinvar Limited. This unit
is capable of neutralising 4000 litres of condensate to a pH of 7.0 before releasing it to a drain.

ILLING HE ONDENSATE
When mounting the bottom part of the siphon, before commissioning the Water heater and/or after maintenance,
the siphon must ALWAYS be FILLED COMPLETELY with water.
This is a safety measure: the water in the siphon keeps the flue gases from leaking out of the heat exchanger via
the condensate drain.
