Preventing Problems Before They Start
The innovative features designed into the eTrapp system will provide preventive measures against the problem of damage to the home caused by condensate clogs. Such clogs result in pan overflow that have seemingly plagued the HVAC market for years. The eTrapp chemically treats the condensate to inhibit bacterial growth that would ordinarily form in the condensate drain line. It also provides the benefit of actually coating the condensate drain line down-stream adding further protection against any future problems associated with condensate clogs. To understand how eTrapp works, it’s essential to consider these preventive measures. Other features include real-time condensate level monitoring and system shut down should any problematic issues arise.
Professional Installation

An HVAC installation Pro delivers and installs the unit on the condensate drain line of the air conditioning system. Note that most condensate drain lines are plumbed directly into the sewer line, thereby creating a potential problem should the standard p-trap ever dry out. Fortunately, the eTrapp provides added protection against this issue. This is accomplished by the volume of residual water contained in the eTrapp itself. This showcases how eTrapp works to provide added protection. The unit does require power from a 110 volt standard electrical outlet as well as a WIFI connection for the transfer of operating data to the eTrapp app which is readily available from the app store.
Proprietary Chemical Cartridge
Unlike any other product on the market, eTrapp uses a proprietary chemical treatment to eliminate the problem of clogged condensate lines by constantly treating the condensate water rather than occasionally cleaning dirty output lines with harsh chemicals or bleach. This unique treatment system is a key aspect of how eTrapp works to maintain clear condensate lines.
As the HVAC unit runs, condensate flows into the eTrapp which can hold up to 18 ounces of water; by contrast, a standard p-trap generally holds a few ounces. The replaceable cartridge treats the fluid with our proprietary eco-friendly chemical mixture. This treatment kills the bacteria, algae, and fungi that generally grow into a clogs in the output line.

The treatment also provides gelling technology that coats the output line. Any bacteria that survives the initial treatment can’t adhere to the line and build up into a potential clog. The treated condensate then flows out of the eTrapp and into the sewer line.
eTrapp works as a “lietime product,” but the cartridge needs to be changed out in order to maintain the system. The life of a cartridge in a normal installation is approximately six months depending on the amount of water flowing through the system. The eTrapp App and ProPortal monitors the life span of the cartridge. The cartridge is easily replaced by screwing off the used cartridge and screwing in the new one. The blue light on the exterior of the eTrapp will indicate when the cartridge is properly locked in place.
Up-To-Date Information
eTrapp’s sensor array constantly monitors the condensate levels. It also measures ambient temperature, cartridge life, relative humidity, and the barometric pressure. We have even designed a segment to alert the homeowner as to the life span of the home’s air filters. The app alerts if the condensate level falls below 25% or exceeds 75%. These parameters are safe operating levels.
