Place Condensate Drainpan Conditioner
under cooling coils in middle of pan length. It goes to work immediately
upon contact with water! The
Condensate Drainpan Conditioner, is designed
and approved only for use in drain pans of Air Conditioning Systems
and Refrigeration Systems.
HERE'S
WHAT THE CITY OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH SAYS
ABOUT EPA REGISTERED BIOCIDE FEEDERS:
"Fan-coil units and air handlers should be equipped with an EPA
registered biocide feeder or treated with an EPA registered biocide
formulated for this purpose. These are designed to inhibit bacterial
growth, prevent clogging of the condensate drain system and prevent
odors. Such treatment is considered to be consistent with good engineering
practices". (From a report issued by Commissioner R. Ferrer, M.D.)
WHY
is the Condensate Drainpan Conditioner needed?
1. CONDENSATION
Cooling equipment produces cold air by passing warm air over cooling
coils. This cooling action causes condensate (water droplets) to
form and drip off the cooling coils, similar to the droplets formed
on the glass of a cool drink on a hot day!
Have you ever seen water dripping out of a window air conditioner?
This is a common example of condensation.
2. DRAINAGE

In large commercial cooling equipment, condensate cannot be allowed
to drip out onto passersby or other objects. Therefore the condensate
must be collected in a drain pan inside the unit. When enough droplets
collect, the condensate begins flowing to a drain hole. IT IS HERE
IN THE DRAIN PAN THAT POTENTIAL TROUBLE BEGINS!
3. BACTERIA
Bacteria, naturally present in water including condensate, produce
"SLIME" as a waste product.

ACCUMULATIONS OF SLIME CAN:
-
Block
the drain hole, causing the drain pan to overflow, resulting in
costly water damage.
-
Provide
an ideal breeding ground for harmful bacteria including those
causing the common cold, asthma, fatigue, headaches, flu, allergies
and the deadly Legionnaire's Disease.
The
Condensate Drainpan Conditioner Kills
Slime and Disease-Producing Bacteria!

- SCHOOLS/UNIVERSITIES
- HOTELS/MOTELS
- HEALTH
CLUBS
- HOSPITALS

WHEN
is the best time to install the
Condensate
Drainpan Conditioner ?
FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE:
Initial placement:
Install the Condensate
Drainpan Conditioner during preseason maintenance programs
prior to system start-up.
Follow-up maintenance:
Replace the Condensate
Drainpan Conditioner every 3 to 6 months for the duration of
the cooling season.
Following this recommended usage program will protect buildings from:
- Drain
pan overflow resulting in costly water damage.
- The
spread of harmful bacteria bred in drain pans.
HOW
does the Condensate Drainpan Conditioner work?
The
Condensate Drainpan Conditioner is a
biocide (quaternary ammonium) tablet enclosed in a plastic housing.
Ultrasonically sealed to the housing is a white filter pad. Water
is absorbed by the filter pad and "wicked" to the tablet.

The
release of powerful biocide is initiated as the water begins dissolving
the tablet. The filter pad controls the release of biocide resulting
in a 3 to 6 months service life in even the hottest and most humid
climates!
The Condensate Drainpan Conditioner
works either horizontally or vertically at angles up to 60 degrees,
without compromising performance.
WHY is the Condensate
Drainpan Conditioner a superior product?
-
It
contains the highest amount of active biocide of ANY product on
the market!
-
It
is the ONLY product on the market permitted by the EPA to make
a Legionnaire's Disease Bacteria (LDB) kill claim!
-
The
filter pad meters a consistent biocide release for a 3 to 6 months
service life!
-
Its
safe to use, sealed, tamper-proof housing prevents contact with
biocide!
-
It
is EPA registered!
Condensate
Drainpan Conditioner: INEXPENSIVE
HEALTH PROTECTION AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE!
In
laboratory tests the Condensate Drainpan
Conditioner formulation has been shown
to inactivate pure cultures of Legionnaire's Disease Bacteria (LDB).
The ability of this formulation to control the growth of or inactivate
LDB in air conditioning condensate drain pans exposed to organic material
and other microbial contamination has not been documented.
A direct relationship between the presence of this bacteria and the
potential for human disease has not yet been proven.
