    The problem is the bucket is upside down.
    Use the biggest hammer you like, pounding a square peg into a round hole does not equal a proper fit.

    The condensate pump being put into a larger container I've done before. We have a lot of vacation homes here with septic systems that have shallow buried sewer lines leading from the home to the tank. When there is no discharge going down that line all winter long except for the tiny amount of condensate from a furnace the pipe will freeze solid. We sit the condensate pump in a large tote and drill holes in the condensate pump's tank (and sit a brick on top of the housing) to greatly increase the amount of discharge to the sewer. Instead of a quart being pumped, when the float activates it will discharge a few gallons per run making it a lot less likely to freeze the sewer line. We even do this in homes where there is a gravity drain the furnace "could" go into without the need for a pump.

    I don't ever remember adding a six pack plastic and .......... what looks to be a pair of tighty-whities in the tub.

    Damn carrier/bryant doors always misaligned, flimsy cabinets and latches that "sorta kinda" hold the door on. Couldn't they just stamp a few patterns into the sheet metal to make it a little stiffer?

    In GA (state)...
    The determining factor is the volume of air in the room the furnace is in...
    See the stuff in the IOM manual.

    If there is enough volume of air to support combustion... then no outside combustion air is needed.

    Personal opinion (supported by NCI): combustion air is COLD... this lowers peak combustion temperature... thus lowering fuel efficiency.
    So WHY use outdoor air???

    Now up north... the answer is: because the combustion air has to come into the house from somewhere...
    And that air is infiltration... which cools the heated air in the house.

    Down here in the South... while that still happens... our lows are not that low (most of the time)...
    So it is not as serious an issue.

    We do not use outdoor combustion air unless it is necessary.
