NVR operate with tubes or P-traps dry. pplication ondensing boilers, hot water heaters or furnaces, and flue pipe condensate drains. NT- and NT--P tanks must be installed below system P-traps, boiler, furnace, and breeching condensate drains. The use of erris and opper piping on the neutralizer inlet or out is not permitted. The use of PV, PV, PP Tubing, and Stainless Steel piping is the only material that shall be used. ombined piping options lue pipe condensate drains / NT- / NT--P tanks ondensate drain piping options / lue rain, oiler rain, urnace rain, Hot Water Heater rains: See igures,,,,,6, and 7. If using a separate NT-, NT--P tanks for a common flue pipe drain the tank should be rated at.% of the total gross TU of all units attached to the common vent. Replacement of the NT- and NT--P ph Power Pellet Media ag The media bag should be replaced when ph level at the NT- outlet level falls below.0. The NT--P pellets can be removed with a wet-dry vacuum or by disconnecting the power source and removing the piping, cover and pump. Replace the pellets when the ph at the outlet port falls below.0 or at a minimum once a year. t a minimum the media bag must be changed once a year. Use only JJM ph Power Pellet media bags. O NOT US LIMSTON OR MRL HIPS. What is ph? The ph measurement of a fluid is an indicator of the acidity or alkalinity. Neutral fluids have ph of 7.0. cid fluids have ph below 7. nd alkaline fluids have ph above 7 (up to ). The ph can be easily measured using a digital pocket ph probe. ondensate ph from condensing boilers and furnaces is typically around The condensate ph needs to be increased (made more neutral) to prevent possible damage to cast iron soil pipe, S pipe, septic tanks, plants, wastewater treatment plants and other materials handling wastewater. NT tanks increase ph (reduce acidity). NT- residential/commercial flue-side condensate neutralizing tubes & tanks are designed to raise the ph level of the condensate discharged by high-efficiency boilers and warm air furnaces and hot water heaters. pplying NT- series neutralizing tank ondensate can be collected from flueways and boiler/furnace condensate trap outlets. See WRNIN section at left for guidelines on application. Match neutralizing tank to boiler, hot water heater and furnace gross TU input ratings. o not install a condensate pump unit before the NT- series inlet; a condensate pump can only be installed at the outlet of a NT- series. Locate the NT- neutralizing tank outlet port below the heater condensate drain port for gravity flow. Never use a condensate pump before an NT- inlet port. onsider using JJM model NT--P with built in condensate pump. ollow the guidelines in this manual, the boiler/furnace manual and all applicable local codes when installing, using and maintaining NT series condensate neutralizing tank. Keep ph Power Pellets and power pellet bags out of the reach of children and animals. ph power pellets (magnesium Hydroxide) are NOT food grade and should not be consumed by humans or animals. lways return the clear cover lockdown bolts and nuts in place and tighten for child safety. pplying the NT--P (Pump) The NT--P combination neutralizer and condensate pump is applied where the house drain is located in a remote location and the treated condensate needs to be pumped to that location. The NT--P has a lower inlet port for LOOR mounted heater condensate drains. The floor mounted heaters condensate drain MUST be located. minimum above the NT--P s lower Inlet port. The NT--P model also has top side inlet ports for acidic condensate which can be used for WLL mounted heaters. When installing a warm air furnace, the NT--P has inlet ports for both acidic condensate and clean non-acidic air conditioning condensate. The ports are clearly labeled for the proper connections.

If mounting to the jacket of boiler, hot water heater, or furnace caution should be taken not to damage wiring or any components of these units with your mounting anchors. Place the NT- tank into the J hooks; it is now ready to be piped. We highly recommend using ¾ schedule0 PV pipe and fittings.. The outlet port of the NT- ph treatment tank shall be below the condensate drain of the boiler; hot water heater, furnace, and stack drain. The heating units condensate drains shall be piped to the tank inlet port. The outlet port of the tank can be piped to an open house waste drain or condensate pump system. ollow the piping diagram in this manual which best applies your installation.. o not terminate the tank outlet piping outside where temperatures will reach freezing or below ( or 0).. Once mounting and piping are complete assure that the flow baffle is placed flatly on top of the mounting ribs at the bottom of the tank.. Remove the ph Power Pellets from the plastic shipping bag and place the single pellet bag flat, evenly and on top of the flow baffle. o not remove the pellets from the polyester mesh bag. It is important that the bag and pellets fit squarely across the baffle so as not to let acidic condensate bypass the pellets. 6. efore operating the boiler, hot water heater, furnace or stack, fill the NT- tank with fresh tap water to the tank outlet port. lso fill any P traps with fresh tap water. NVR OPRT TH NT- TNK RY. 7. Replace the clear cover with the push pins. The flow arrow should always point in the direction of the outlet port (Highest Port on the tank). 8. Pipe hangers or brackets should be used to support all piping. 9. Place the Installation Label on the side on the NT- tank so as to be visible to the end user. Indicate on which date the unit was installed. lso place the stringed Red Warranty tag in close proximately to the outlet port and advise the owner of the need to replace the pellet bag at least once a year at minimum or if the ph falls below.0 ph which ever occurs first. lso advise the owner of the need to fill out the warranty card online at or via mail. loor mounting the NT- or NT--P:. Place the NT- NT--P tank in a location where it will not be a foot traffic hazard.. The J hook brackets may be used on the NT- if the tank is next to a wall or heating unit.. ollow steps -9 for wall mounting.. The NT--P is a floor mounted unit only. Operational low Model NT-: Once the heating unit is fired and acidic condensate is produced the condensate will flow from the heater condensate drain down into the NT- tank s inlet port. The acidic condensate enters the bottom chamber of the tank below the plastic flow baffle. The acid will now flow up through the plastic baffle ports via gravity and slight head pressure at which point it comes in contact with the Magnesium Hydroxide Pellet bag (ph Power Pellets ). chemical reaction now takes place in which ions from the acid and pellets are exchanged raising the ph level of the acid in the range of.0 to 9.0 ph. In this ranged the condensate can be safely be put to a waste drain via the NT- outlet port and piping. Operational low Model NT--P: s the heater unit produces acidic condensate it enters the NT--P via either the bottom or top inlet ports. The condensate flows through four pellet chambers before flowing over the walls and into the pump chamber. Once the float makes contact, the pump will be powered discharging the treated condensate out of the /8 barb fitting to the remote drain via tubing supplied by the contractor.

11 NTseries cidic ondensate ph Treatment Kits Installation/Operation & Maintenance Maintenance Procedures etting the most out of your JJM Neutralizer cidic wastewater neutralizers like all filtering devices need both maintenance and replacing. The average ph level of acidic wastewater produced by today s condensing boilers, hot water heaters, furnaces, flue stack drains, and stack economizers is.ph. When using a passive Inline Tube, Tank, or anister the range of ph modification will fall in between.0 and 9. ph. When the ph falls below.0 at the outlet port of any neutralizer the active ingredient must be replaced. Media replacement schedule will depend on several factors including Operating Hours, fficiency, System esign, and Neutralizer Piping Scheme. The active ingredient in the case of JJM products is Magnesium Hydroxide Pellets. The trade name is ph Power Pellets. efore changing the pellets when the ph level falls below.0 you can get the most out of your neutralizer by first agitating the pellets. In the case of an inline tube products try lightly tapping the outer sides of the tube with a rubber mallet several times and then check the ph level once again at the outlet port. You may find that your ph level has risen back into the.0 to 9.pH range. When your neutralizer is a tank product with loose pellets you can simply use a wooded dowel to stir the pellets and again use fresh tap water to flush out the tank. If your neutralizer pellets are incased in a porous pellet bag there are three methods to agitating the pellets:. Remove the pellet bag or bags from the tank and using your hands move the pellets around inside the bags.. Using a five gallon bucket filled with fresh tap water, use step one with the bag under water.. Using a fresh water hose slowly pour fresh water over both sides of the pellet bag and also use method one. If the ph level is has not risen back into the safe range of.0 to 9. ph the pellets must be replaced. If you have our Model V-0 or V-0 ombi vertical canisters try the following method:. Twist off the outer canister to get access to the inner pellet cartridge and over a five gallon pail shake the artridge several times to agitate the pellets.. gain using a five gallon pail filled with fresh tap water let the cartridge soak for five minutes under water and then drain and hand shake the cartridge to agitate the pellets. lso clean out any sediment which may be held within the outer canister.
