    Condensate cannot go into Foul Drains when a Septic Tank is used

    Just a 'Heads Up'. Condensate from Condensing Boilers MUST NOT be drained into Foul Drains when a septic tank or sewage treatment plant is part of the foul drainage system. The condensate kills the bacteria in the tanks due to its high acidity and the sewage treatment stops working.
