Condensate Return Tanks & Boiler Feed Systems

What is a condensate return tank?

A condensate return tank collects hot condensate water from steam equipment and stores it before the water is pumped back into the boiler system. Returning condensate helps reduce water consumption, lower energy loss, and improve overall steam system efficiency.

How do I know what size condensate return tank I need?

Tank sizing depends on condensate load, boiler horsepower, surge volume, and return timing. If you are unsure, review our condensate return systems and return tanks, or email us at info@remausa.com with your boiler information so we can help recommend the correct size.

Can a condensate return tank be replaced without replacing the pump?

Yes. In many applications, the receiver tank can be replaced while keeping the existing pump, controls, and piping layout. This is common when the original tank has rusted, developed leaks, or reached the end of its service life.

How long does a condensate return tank last?

Service life depends on water quality, operating temperature, system conditions, and tank material. Steel tanks can provide many years of service in standard applications, while stainless steel tanks are often selected where increased corrosion resistance is needed.

Can you help match a replacement pump or tank?

Yes. We can often help identify a comparable replacement for an existing tank, pump, or system. Send your model number, photos, dimensions, pump data, and any nameplate information to info@remausa.com. You can also browse our replacement system options, return tanks, and pump page.

What pump options are available for condensate return systems?

Pump options vary based on tank size, boiler pressure, flow requirements, horsepower, voltage, and phase. We can help recommend the proper pump configuration for your application. Start by viewing our condensate return systems, Burks pump series, or contact info@remausa.com.
