Condensate pump recommendation?

[LPC]

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!

Plumbs own brand it's a jet one. Ok. Make sure u wire in h/l switch onto boiler perm live!

h/l switch?

Looked it up, looks to be a rebranded version of the Aspen one I saw on eBay earlier. Was wondering if that works with a boiler condensate so guess so:

condense pump has safety on it so if it packs in it stops the boiler. high level switch.

Ah right, so the Aspen one has L-N-E then a Black for safety switch, what would that be wired into then to stop the boiler?

 

[Ermintrude]

Put live from spur on to one black and the live for pump. then other black on to live for boiler. Boiler has perm live until h/l trips then boiler off. Prevents condensate flooding house. U can run prv in to conny pump too!

Ah right, so boiler perm live is run from pump? I got it.! Ordered the Aspen/Jet one, cheers!

U can run prv in to conny pump too!

You could open a whole can of worms with that comment! It could overtake the 11 page Immediately Dangerous washing machine condensate waste!

Conny pump must be suitable and rated to take condensate and prv. Pump must be installed to MI. there no further opening of worm filled tins !!
