The HP POD 40c G2 has two heat exchanger condensate drains.

IMPORTANT: You might need to connect the HP POD 40c G2 drain directly to the local storm or sanitary drain, depending on the local jurisdiction.

If your HP POD 40c G2 is located indoors, you can connect to an external drain line. If your HP POD 40c G2 is located outdoors, the drained water drains out the back of the HP POD 40c G2.

HP recommends connecting the condensate drains on the HP POD 40c G2 to a facility drain to prevent collection of water near the HP POD 40c G2.

Leak detection

The HP POD 40c G2 includes six heat exchanger condensate drains. One drain pan sensor is located in the drain tray below each set of heat exchangers.

Two sensors are also located in the header drain pans, one in cooling zone 2 and one in cooling zone 5. There should be no water in the header drain pan and the drain pan should always remain dry.

Some amount of condensation water can always be expected in the heat exchanger drain pans. If an excessive amount of condensation water accumulates in a drain pan, an alarm is triggered and sent through the HP POD 40c G2 ECS, indicating a possible leak.
