ePumps supplies a full range of condensate return systems, pumps, and packaged units for steam heating systems, boiler rooms, HVAC applications, schools, hospitals, manufacturing plants, and commercial buildings.

Condensate return plays a critical role in maintaining boiler efficiency by recycling high-temperature condensate, reducing fuel costs, reducing makeup water demand, and lowering blowdown frequency.

Why Condensate Return Systems Matter
  • Reduce energy and fuel waste

  • Maintain stable boiler water levels

  • Protect boilers from low-water conditions

  • Improve overall system efficiency

  • Reduce wear on equipment and piping

  • Support closed-loop or semi-closed-loop steam systems

Condensate System Capabilities
  • 10–500 gallon steel / stainless receivers

  • Simplex and duplex configurations

  • ODP or TEFC motors rated for continuous duty

  • Silicon bronze impellers with mechanical seals

  • Multiple voltage, HP & discharge options

  • Square D float switches & industrial controls

Condensate Return FAQs

What is a condensate return system?

A system that collects hot condensate from steam equipment and returns it to the boiler to reduce fuel consumption and water waste.

Do condensate systems include pumps and tanks?

Yes — packaged condensate return units include a receiver tank plus simplex or duplex pumps.

What’s the difference between “condensate pump” and “condensate unit”?

A pump = the pumping mechanism only.
A unit = a complete package with tank + pump(s).

What size system do I need?

Sizing depends on steam load, return rate, and boiler capacity. Commercial systems typically use 20–360 gallon receivers.

Can condensate pumps handle high temperatures?

Most units are designed for 200°F+ condensate, depending on model.
