IPC 803.1 seems to require condensate dilution or neutralizing for acidic wastes from condensing appliances. In my county, though, this portion of the code seems not to be enforced. Some appliances, such as my tankless water heater, have integral neutralizers. Other appliances, such as my two condensing furnaces and newer model water heaters without integral neutralizers, have no neutralizer installed. My house is connected to the municipal sewer. I'm confident that all the drainage plumbing in my house and yard is PVC, but I do not know the materials used at the street and downstream. Should I be concerned about this situation? I tried to get clarification from the county, without success.
