Yeah, you can't send runoff info the sanitary system!
Although, I suppose they could have the condensate draining into a sump basin or something.

Is that a trap on the air intake?8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

But it works!
It's been that way since I installed it, years ago.
How come all of a sudden it's not working?
Now that you mention it, the kids have has a lot of headaches since then.
OK OK, I'll fix it before next winter. Can you just get it working for now?

Intake has a trap ......and it's a private residence. Owners father-in-law apparently did it for reasons unknown.
Hopefully back next week to re-pipe0
