Gentlemen;; Bought and installed a bradford white Aerotherm water heater in august. It replaced my 1970's Vaughn stone steel electric water heater. The heatpump water heater has been working fine. A decent elec. savings over the old Vaughn. But, I noticed lately there is no discharge of water from the condensing line.
I have it installed in concrete 30x40basement with wood stove for basement heat. Could the air be dry enough that the condenser line will have no discharge?
I should also add, I run it in hybrid mode and there are no trouble codes showing.
I initially let the condenser drain run into a 5 gal. bucket. Mainly because I was curious how much water it produced.. I had to empty it several times. About the time I started heating with wood I never had to empty the bucket. I pulled the hose off completely from the tank and nothing comes out of the fitting on the side of the tank.
