Water in combustion blower assy.

I was having problems with my gas furnance a few days back. The cause of the problem was, water in a hose that connects the combustion blower assy. to a pressure switch. Could someone tell me why i would be getting water in this area and also how to prevent it from happening again.

PS. Only a few drops of water were found in the hose but, it was enough to prevent the pressure switch from operating correctly.

All help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Pete

Is this a 80% furnace or 90%?

If it's a 80%, how low do you set your temp back at night?

Do you have fresh air tied into the return from the outdoors?

Jay,

This is a 80% Furnance and I set my thermostat back to 63 during the night
(while sleeping). I'm not sure what you mean when asking if it's tied into the fresh air.

Thanks for replying.

Pete

Reason I ask is if you do, the return air is TOO cold for the heat exchanger, the exhaust temp is getting low, and cause the condensation on the pipe.

Is the furnace in the basement or where?
