1 st mount pressure switch above blower unit. water does not run up hill.

2 nd. put 3 inch discharge off of vent blower . book says 2 inch. it don't
work. put 3" discharge off of vent blower. i had 5 of them doing this and 3"
vent blower line cured it.

Robert a pressure switch is a pressure swiotch and the configuration isn't far
fromthe same from all furnaces.... You say your venting is to the tables but is
it B Vent, double wall ? There has to be a reason your getting this much
condensatiopninside the flue pipe... I wouldn't be surprised if soon your no
replacing controls too...

We had a similiar problem with the York 90% when it first came out. Two things
we did that helped was, we raised the switch as high as we could. Even mounted
the switch on the bottom of the house a few times to get it high. Secondly, we
put a small length of copper in the tube and drilled a small hole in the
copper. This allowed it to pull in fresh air and keep the moist air swept down
and out of the tube. Don't make the hole too large or it will prevent the
switch from closing. I think we used a #70 orifice bit. We experimented with
several sizes. Hope this helps....

Mel , the only time you get water in a pressure switch is on
condensing furnaces GMPN or similar you better not use b vent but pvc if
you had water in a 80% furnace you would have turned it to steam and
would even have a problem. Some day you should go where there is a
winter so you can see how these Goodmans really work.

HVAC BOY !

If you are following this post then you know I asked what the model number was for a  the furnace...

About going someplace where there's really winter... Listen HVAC  BOY   just because I state we have mild winters here doesn't mean I've never  lived worded service in severe weather if you only knew what a real winter really was I'd explain!

After I served as a Merchant Marines we moved around quite a bit in such places as Fairbanks, Anchorage,Tulsa,Flagstaff, even a short stay in Jamestown  but their winters are mild I'm sure compared to your standards.... Most people have heat and know the difference between cold and cold...

About the 200 Goodmans these are  no doubt the very equipment you trained on and now it your job security... For someone who knows so much or think he does about Goodman it's revealing you really no nothing...

Enjoy your income your hack install apparently give you but don't blame this or anything else on the mfg. ....

Goodman 100,000 @96% eff. Furnace is two months old. Water in pressure switch shutting down in open switch three blinks. Increased flue to Three in.,replaced both pressure switches, disasembled drain its working fine. What is the solution.

Take the loop out of the Hose to the pressure switch. Its condensation.
Whoever installed that should have set that up. Is this a home brew job?
