Directions for pH-Treat 4720-10

Check with your local water authority for regulations regarding discharge of treated condensate to the drain or sewer system.

WARNING: This product can expose you to Silica, crystalline (airborne particles of respirable size) which is known in the state of California to cause cancer. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov. Risk of damage to appliance. The neutralization kit inlet and discharge must be at a lower elevation than the condensate drain from appliance. Do not allow exhaust flue gases to vent through the neutralization kit. All condensate drains must have a trap to prevent flue gas leakage. Flue gas leakage can cause injury or death from carbon monoxide. Connection to the appliance and neutralization kit must be installed to ensure that no condensate backflow into the appliance can occur.

The inlet has a center connection port and the outlet connection is off center. Mount the neutralization capsule on the wall or floor securing it with the provided brackets. When mounting capsule in the horizontal position rotate the tube so the outlet is at its highest point (Figure 1 and 2). When mounting in the vertical position ensure the outlet is at a higher elevation than the inlet (Figure 3). The preferred mounting method is in the horizontal position. Follow Local Code Requirements for Discharge of Condensate. Install in a vertical position below condensate collection tank level. Avoid obstructions as condensate could be damaging to surrounding surfaces and articles.

Connections to the appliance and neutralization kit must be installed to ensure that no condensate backflow can occur. Connect corrosion resistant piping and secure it to the floor or wall to prevent movement. Do not route the condensate line through any area that is exposed to freezing temperatures. If traffic poses a risk, install some protection to prevent movement and/or damage. Install a Y or T-fitting as a safety overflow in the event that the condensate drain becomes clogged. Mount as per installation diagram. Any connection supplied with the pH-Treat device should be installed after the trap. Ensure that the condensate will flow freely from the appliance drain into the capsule then to the drain. Access to the discharge is necessary for proper maintenance in order to check the effectiveness of the neutralizing media, using pH test strips. If there is no gravity drain available, install a condensate removal pump designed for use on condensing boilers and furnaces. The condensate pump must be equipped with an over flow switch to prevent the appliance from running should a failure occur.
