    Condensate output contains grit and pressure loss

    Checking the boiler before winter, I have found the condensate trap contains a lot of grit, rather like sand. I don't think that's normal, but what is it likely to be? It works normally, but keeps losing pressure, about 1 bar every 3-4 days, with no signs of escaping water. I keep topping it up...

    Ideal Icos HE12 Water Dripping FL / LF Error Code - Blocked Condensate Pipe/Sump?

    Hi all! I have (not for the first time) a problem with my Ideal Icos HE12 boiler! A month or so ago I had the "FL" error code, which I think means "Flame Failure". I had Gas Safe engineer out and said that the condensate/water for some reason wasn't draining away properly. He rang Ideal...

    Condensate pipe into washing machine waste

    Some boiler manufacturers and industry guidance says that you can boss a condensate pipe for a condensing boiler into a washing machine standpipe. Is this assuming the washing machine standpipe is actually still being used by the washing machine? I'm just wondering if a washing machine pump...

    condensate pumps

    Evening chaps. Can anyone recommend a good condensate pump. One that is easy to install and preferably doesn't need a seperate fuse spur to run it.

    Blocked condensate pipe

    Would this cause a boiler to cut off after about 5 minutes of it being on? Or would it not fire at all if the condensate was blocked? Have this problem with a greenstar 28. Pump is ok and done the usual checks and unsure what is wrong.

    Internal condensate pipe not sealed

    What would a condensate pipe being unsealed be classed as? For example the condensate rubber flexi hose just being put into a bit of 32mm waste pipe instead of the jubilee clip onto Condy pipe then into a 32mmx21.5mm reducer?

    Condensate drain-again

    Hi all, I think this subject has been done to death, however! My drain routes outside the property ending in the drain down pipe out side house, I want to re-route it internally to the bath drain, (a distance of maybe 75 cms) making it less likely to freeze and less clutter on the side of the...

    condensate pump noise

    hi, having read through this forum I've noticed that others have also had noise problems with condensate pumps for boilers. I've had our plumber try two different models of pump and both are noisey so we can't have heating start before we wake up or when the kids are in bed! I'd expect a...

    Condensate pump and a Firebird....

    What kind of mens appendage installed this. How can you even try to plumb a large condensate pump into a FB at the same level. Ill have to fit one of those internal ones, but have found them unreliable. Anyone any other thoughts (short of changing the boiler or excavating the ground?)

    Hi guys, got a job coming up where one of the issues is the kitchen fitter connected a condensate pipe to a washing machine standpipe by drilling a 22mm hole and siliconing the condensate pipe from the combi into that... Surprise surprise - it is now leaking. I would like to know if regs are...

    Washing Machine & Combi Condensate Drain

    I'm putting in the drain pipe work for a boiler above a washing machine. Worcester-Bosch show the condensate pipe connected with a Y after the trap, but as the trap will be quite low done for the washing machine, I'm not sure if this is practical. Is this arrangement OK? Many Thanks JAMES

    Possible Problem with Condensate Pipe New Combi Install

    Hi, Hopefully someone can offer some advice. Recently we had a new Combi Boiler fitted (a Worcester Greenstar 28 Condensor Boiler). The engineer decided it was best to install the condensate pipe under the floor to prevent freezing. A couple of days after the install we left for a short...
