heater discharges condensate.
When heat from the exhaust gas is collected within
the secondary heat exchanger, condensation occurs
from moisture in the exhaust gas and the resulting
water is discharged from the drain pipe (approx.
2 gallons/hour (7.5 liters/hour) maximum). It is not a
water leak. Do not plug or block the drain line as it
must always be allowed to freely flow.

Note : The condensate discharged is acidic with a
pH level of approximately 2-3.
A condensate neutralizer may be required by

Overview of Condensing Tankless Gas Water Heater
This water heater is a high efficiency, fully condensing appliance. Unlike a traditional tankless water
heater, a condensing type captures heat from the exhaust gas and uses it to preheat the incoming
cold water as it passes through the secondary heat exchanger as illustrated below.

white steam.
After the exhaust gas passes through the
secondary heat exchanger, it becomes low in
temperature and moisture rich which tends to
produce steam at the vent discharge terminal.
This is a normal occurrence.
