How much reside condensate will my equipment develop?
Hot water heaters / Boilers / Furnaces / Economizers
Multiple Boiler Common Flue drains: 33.3% of total BTU input of connected equipment.
Example: (3) Boilers @ 100,000 BTU Input would need a pH treatment kit rated @ 100,000
BTU for the stack drain and a flow rate of .725 to .798 depending on efficiency.
Consider the following when choosing a neutralizer for less maintenance during operation
of your heating equipment.
1. Your location in relation to weather (Very Cold, Cold, Moderately Cold)
2. System Design (Process, Radiate, Snow Melt, Heating, etc.)
3. Yearly Operating Hours
4. pH level out of heating equipment (3.2 to 4.0 is normal)
5. If pH out of the heating equipment is below 3.2 pH contact the factory for sizing.
6. Abnormally low pH out of the equipment condensate drain can be caused by the following:
A. Improper Combustion
B. Contaminated Combustion Air
C. High Sulfur Content in Gas Supply
D. pH below 2.0 is considered hazardous waste by EPA. Contact JJM Technical
Service at 413-427-3373 or 413-527-1893
JJM highly recommends operating your heating equipment for 24-48
hours prior to connecting a neutralizer so as to flush out dirt, grease, and
oils from connected piping and the heater. This is also the best time to check
the heater condensate pH level for sizing your neutralizer.

!WARNING
JJM neutralizers are sized by BTU input to establish a ow rating.
Job site conditions will determine neutralizer design. See GPH chart below.

Inspect frequently
Installer — Instruct the building owner to frequently inspect
the V Series cannister cartridge neutrazlier and all condensate
connections. e owner must notify a qualied technician if any
problems are noticed.
Recharge as required
Follow the requirements on page 2 for recharging or replacing
the V Series cartridge. Follow instructions at right.
Replacement parts
Contact JJM® Boiler Works, your local wholesaler or manufac-
turer’s representative for replacement parts and rell kit.

Model V-250 Combi
Electrical Rating: 115/1/60 Amps: 1.5A/Single Pump
ermally Protected
Indoor use only
Model: VCMA-20UL / Little Giant
Head: 8.6 PSI Max
Application:
e V Series canister neutralizer is best applied to wall mounted
condensing hot water heaters, boilers. e V-250 pump combi
model is best applied when a condensate pump is needed to
transfer the treated acidic condensate wastewater to a remote
drain location. All acidic condensate wastewater is gravity fed
from the appliance condensate outlet port to the V-250 inlet
port. e V-250 pump combi can also be used for non acid air
conditioning condensate removal. Simple pipe to either of the
spare inlet ports on the pump tank.

Read before proceeding
Failure to comply with these guidelines could
result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
Canister and lines must be wet
Before operating a V-series neutralizer with a hot
water heater, boiler, furnace, or ue stack drain
ll the V-series canister and all “P” traps with
fresh tap water. NEVER operate with the canister
or “P”traps dry
Application restrictions
• Flue stack drains, condensing boilers, furnaces and hot
water heaters
• Flue pipe condensate drains
• DO NOT exhaust ue gases through the V Series canister,
is not rated for boiler or furnace ue gases. Operating
the V Series canister as exhaust vents can cause injury
or death from carbon monoxide.
• Gas traps must be installed between the boiler, vent drains,
hot water heaters and furnace condensate outlet and the
inlet of all V Series canisters.
• e V Series canister must be installed below sysem P-
traps, boiler, furnace, and breeching condensate drains.
Combined piping options
Flue pipe condensate drains
• Boiler/furnace condensate drain/hot water hearter and
ue condensate drain can be commonly piped to a V
Series canister. Also, the ue pipe must be terminated
so rain water cannot enter the ue pipe.
Recharge canisters regularly
• Canisters should be recharged when pH level moves
below 5.0. e pH should be checked regularly (at least
twice during the rst year of operation) to determine the
required recharging schedule.

!DANGER
What is pH?
e pH measurement of a uid is an indicator of the acidity or
alkalinity. Neutral uids have pH of 7.0. Acid uids have pH below
7. And alkaline uids have pH above 7 (up to 14). e pH can be
easily measured using digital pocket pH probe
Condensate pH from condensing boilers and furnaces is typically
around 4. e condensate pH needs to be increased (made more
neutral) to prevent possible damage to cast iron soil pipe, ABS
pipe, septic tanks, plants, wastewater treatment plants and other
materials handling waste water.
V-series condensate neutralizing canisters
increase pH (reduce acidity).
V-series commercial re-side condensate treatment canisters are
designed to raise the pH level of the condensate discharged by
high-eciency boilers and warm air furnaces.
Each change of 1.0 in pH is a 10-times reduction (or increase) in
concentration. e pH of condensate is increased by approxi-
mately 1.0 to 4.0 higher aer passing through NB neutralizing
tanks.
Applying V-series neutralizing canisters
Condensate can be collected from ueways and boiler/furnace/
hot water heater condensate trap outlets. See WARNING section
at le for guidelines on application.
See the JJM sizing chart located on our website,
www.jjmboilerworks.com.
Discharge lines may be mounted overhead with the V-250 pump
combi model.
Follow the guidelines in this manual, the boiler/furnace manual
and all applicable local codes when installing, using and main-
taining V-series Condensate pH treatment canisters.
Installation sequence
1. e V Series must be wall mounted a minimum of 1.75” above
the oor level to be able to remove the canister when replacing the
inner cartridge.
2. e V-250 pump combi can be oor or wall mounted since it is a
factory packaged unit already maintaining the 1.75” for canister
removal.
3. All V-series units must be installed below the appliance condensate
outlet drain. is will allow for gravity ow into the neutralizer inlet
port, through the V-series canister and out the V-series outlet port.
Never use any pumps BEFORE the V-series inlet port. Use only PP
tubing, PVC Pipe, CPVC Pipe, or stainless steel pipe when connect-
ing any JJM neutralizing product.
4. Use PP tubing from the V-250 pump combi units pump outlet port
to the nearest house waste drain.
5. Always use a water trap between the appliance condensate outlet
port and the V Series inlet port.
6. NOTE: Always consult the local authority regarding any require-
ments concerning ue gas condensate handling codes.
7. Connect piping using today’s modern piping practices. See Figures
1,2,3, & 4 for JJM® piping.

Recharging procedure
To recharge any V-250 series product order part number 4003 for each neutralizer. Shut o all electrical power to all heating units. Remove the
outer canister by turning it counter-clockwise. Remove the inner pellet cartridge and clean out any debris le in the canister. Replace the inner
pellet cartridge with a new cartridge. Return the outer canister to the V-250 cap by twisting it on clock-wise. Return system to full operation
and check for any leaks.
Never pipe the outlet of a neutralizer directly to a pipe, outlet should be piped to an open drain or open
wastewater trap.
