The condensate trap and neutralizing box must be checked every
year and cleaned if required. Follow the steps below to properly
inspect, recharge or substitute condensate neutralizing box and
media:
Monitor the level of the neutralization media in the box periodically.
The pH can be checked after the condensate has exited from pipe
"A" of Figure 8-2. Check the pH level every three months for the first
year. Use a suitable pH test strip paper or an electronic pH meter
for precise measurement. The frequency of checking the pH level
can be reduced to every six months or every year depending on the
readings obtained compared to local water authority requirements.
The neutralizing media should be replaced when the pH level
drops below the minimum level of the local water authority. For
replacement media contact your local sales representative. How to

WARNING!!!
The condensate collection box must
be filled with water to prevent flue gas emissions from
escaping during unit operation. Failure to comply with
this requirement can result in excessive levels of carbon
monoxide which can cause severe personal injury or
