Ty Branaman explains why the 90% furnace design helps deal with water management. These furnaces have stainless steel secondary heat exchangers and PVC or plastic material around the inducer fan motor to handle moisture. Proper water drainage and neutralization are critical to prevent corrosion and clogs. Follow manufacturer instructions for venting and condensate management.

So Water management is going to be one of the biggest issues, and that's why that secondary heat exchanger is usually stainless steel.. That's why we have those PVC or plastic types of a composite material for those inducer fan motors because the metal ones would simply rust away. Now, ideally, stainless steel works good. There's a lot of manufacturers tried different things and some of them worked better than others.

There's been some recalls in the past. But Essentially, that's why the instruction manual is going to be so very important because, well,, there's other considerations that we never had with the older furnaces.. So Making sure that that that water management is going to drain someplace, it's going to be either acid neutralized before it goes in the drain or it's not going to drain simply outside where it clogs up and then are vent pipes where we have the proper drainage. So It doesn't doesn't cause a problem.
