As water is heated, the burner creates hot exhaust gas. Condensing tankless water heaters use the heat from exhaust gas to preheat cold water, making them very energy efficient. As it cools, the exhaust gas condenses and turns into water vapor which eventually flow out to the drain.
Yes, condensing tankless water heaters need a drain for the condensation water that forms in the secondary heat exchanger.
Condensing and non-condensing tankless water heaters require the same amount of regular maintenance, which involves cleaning inlet filters, the air filter, a visual inspection and descaling. Maintenance details for each model can be found in the user’s manual which you can download here.
All water heating products require routine maintenance, and condensing tankless water heaters don’t require any more maintenance than tank style water heaters. Tank water manufacturers recommend flushing the tank every 6-12 months as well as inspection and cleaning of the burner chamber, pilot assembly and air intake
