Abstract:
1. A sanitizing system for condensate from at least one condensate-producing system that collects, treats, and diverts the condensate for constructive applications, said system comprising: a source of sanitizing vapor adapted to release vapors to sanitize condensate containing algae and disease causing elements; a basket configured to house said source of sanitizing vapor and having a bottom surface with at least one aperture formed therethrough and said at least one aperture dimensioned sufficiently small so as to retain said source of sanitizing vapor within said basket; a hollow chamber configured to house said basket and said source of sanitizing vapor, said hollow chamber having a side wall with an inlet opening and a discharge opening formed therethrough; condensate discharge tubing coupled to the condensate-producing system; a fluid flow control operatively coupled between said condensate discharge tubing and said inlet opening that is configured to create one-directional flow of condensate from the condensate-producing system and through said condensate discharge tubing to said inlet opening, and thereafter into said hollow chamber; and said fluid flow control comprising at least one float ball valve adapted to prevent the sanitizing vapors from back flowing to the condensate-producing system whereby the condensate is sanitized by the vapors as the condensate moves through said hollow chamber toward said discharge opening.
