Called to gloworm 30hx the bottom of the casing is badly corroded no signs at the top where flue exits ,couldn't see any leaks the time as was there thinking it's got to be from sump has anyone seen this before cheers
got to wire a grundfos conlift condensate pump. Anybody wired on before?
i know it will require a feed via spur or plug, what im unsure of is the overflow cutout. Some ive seen before you just wire the live(line) supply to the boiler in series via the pump safety float switch. Dose anybody know...
I've never ever had to fit a condensate pump before, always found a way to run one in overflow to a soakaway or whatnot. But got a job coming up where I really don't think there's any other way to do it. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable condensate pump? Should be as small and quiet as possible!
I have a combi boiler which is losing pressure rapidly, condensate is losing 3 litres of water per minute, I phoned ideal service department and they tell me main heat exchanger is knakerd, however I turned off the cold water supply going into boiler so it is effectively only doing heating now...
I am just installing an Intergas Compact SB40 boiler but the condensate trap protrudes about 15 cm below the bottom cover. It is unsightly and frankly a design nonsense. The other boilers in the range are all smaller and the condensate trap is also smaller and is concealed by the cover.
Do you...
I recently bought a new house, and have notice that the neighbours have a pipe that sticks out of their wall about 2 inches and hangs over my brick driveway. What initially believed to be some sort of overflow pipe now looks to be a condensate pipe from a boiler, as it only drip for a small...
Hi,
I have an Altech Alcon PM condensate pump a few feet underneath my boiler. It has been activating approximately every 5 seconds for most of the day. I don't have a clue why or what it is even for, but this is not usual for my house and wondered if anyone could suggest a cure? Looking at...
My Baxi platinum 24he keeps losing pressure and I have no leaks anywhere the prv isn't dripping and the expansion vessel seems to be holding pressure. The only thing I have noticed is the condensate pipe is dripping when the boiler isn't running could this be where the water is going and if so...
Hi
4 years’ ago I had a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Ri boiler installed. Due to its location, a Sauermann condensate-removal pump was also fitted. For the first three years, no problems, but then the pump began to operate every few minutes whether the boiler was operating or not. I have an...
Hi all, just viewed a boiler install for next week. 32mm condensate pipe will have to run outside into a black square down pipe... anyone seen an adapter/boss for a square down pipe, if so can you post the link
Cheers
Hi Guys - a couple of years ago we had a new condensing combi boiler installed in our 1970s house, which originally would have had warm air heating, to replace an old free standing gas boiler. The combi is fitted in what was the cupboard for the warm air heating unit in the hallway and is...
Hi all
I've a Grandee 23/28 boiler and found a very small hole at the bottom of the condensate unit, thus you can see steam leaking out of the unit. The leak has dripped onto the control unit, but somehow that seems ok! Anyhow, I see that i have 2 options.
1 - Replace the condensate unit
2 -...
My neighbour had his boiler re-sited upstairs in 2012. The condensate pipe comes out of the wall, bends directly down vertically and ends about an inch above the lean-to over his drive - our drive is adjacent to his drive. The condensate then rolls about 10ft down the lean-to and into a gutter...
Worcester boiler seems to have an extra cold feed from the boiler to the bathroom?
If this is the case... why?
The problem is that the hot water feed is fine. I.e. the hot water is red hot which is what I want..
As soon as the cold tap is put on though the hot reduces in temperature...
The engineer came to check an error 01, which could have been the flame detector or condensate the latter was clear of any obstruction. He went to take off the trap and stripped it. I saw him put the plastic ball in the bottom cage of the trap. When he installed it again we could smell burnt...
made by Worcester it sits around the flow and only lets the condi go in a big gulp of heated water it prevents freezing so thought i would try on out on this potterton gold combi fit,the pipes lagged in waterproof armaflx,buried in the concrete chase and wrapped in denso ,also heres the prv...
I read on here some time ago that the condensate drain is not supposed to be plumbed into the downpipe from house guttering.
But looking around where I live, it is easy to see where old boilers have been replaced by condensing ones because they all have white plastic pipes connecting into their...
