FAQs
Many high-efficiency boilers and water heaters produce acidic condensate during normal operation. In some jurisdictions, a condensate neutralizer may be required before the condensate can safely drain into plumbing or wastewater systems. Neutralizers help raise the pH of condensate to reduce the risk of pipe corrosion and environmental damage.
Products such as AcidiRID by Centrotherm are designed to safely treat acidic condensate produced by high-efficiency heating appliances. Requirements vary depending on local plumbing codes, appliance type, and system size, so contractors should always verify local regulations and manufacturer recommendations. Using corrosion-resistant venting materials like polypropylene also helps protect the vent system from acidic condensate exposure over time.
