Drain Installation - Santa Fe Ultra Series Installation Instructions Manual

DRAIN INSTALLATION

7
The Santa Fe Ultra98/120 generate condensate.
Place a secondary drain pan with a float switch under the dehumidifier if it is suspended above a finished area or
in an area where water leakage could cause damage.
A drain trap is required for the dehumidifier to run properly (see diagram below). Install a 3/4" threaded male
NPT adapter to the drain pan. Install a drain pipe assembly utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to transport the condensate
to a drain. Pitch of drain should be 1" per 10'.
An optional condensate pump kit is available for use with the Santa Fe Ultra98/120 and may be installed if lift is
required to dispose of condensate. Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote location when the water
level in the pump's reservoir rises to close the float switch.
The pump also contains a safety float switch. The white leads from this switch extend from beneath the pump
cover. This switch should be installed in series with the field wire that connects to the common lead from the
Santa Fe Ultra98/120 to the control panel. If the pump fails, this switch opens the common control circuit and
stops water production before the reservoir overflows. Contact a qualified electrician to install the safety float
switch to the Santa Fe Ultra98/120 dehumidifier.
Drain Installation
Dehumidifiers commonly use a negative air pressure drain pan. This causes air to flow backwards thru the drain
system which can cause water to pool inside the dehumidifier and leak. A drain trap prevents this issue by trapping
water in the pipe to stop air from flowing backwards.
Please see the trap diagram below. This assembly can be made with common ¾" PVC pipe fittings. The pipe
measurements and placement of the cap and vent are critical to the function of the trap. Once trap is assembled, be
sure to fill with water.
