Condensation is a mild acid – it will corrode steel

Condensation is usually noted when:

water dripping is heard (only) while the main burner is on,

there is “water” around the heater just after the heater has been operating,

there are small, black or red granules on the main burner or top of the heater or

corroded jacket or vent piping is noted.

If …

… then

any of the above conditions exist

raise the supply air temperature or

 

increase stored water temperature or

 

increase the size of the tank

 

You would not wish to lower combustion

 

efficiency – this would waste gas. Use

 

materials (stainless steel, PVC etc.) that

 

will not be affected by the condensation
