Prp into condensate pump

[Gas74]

What would you class a prp that terminates into a condensate pump? saw this today on a Worcester greenstar combi. Had a tundish about quarter of the way down so you could see if it was leaking. Didn't look right but don't know if it's at risk or not??

As long a the pump is rated for a prv, it's no problem.

How do you know if it's rated for a prv? Just looks like a normal condensate pump. Will it be marked on it?

The only way you can normally tell the difference is when you go to pay for them at the counter!!!!

I would class it as a future puddle on the floor

Exactly what I was about to say. I looked into it about 6 months or so ago and one of my merchants said about grundfos condense pumps, I didn't believe him so I looked it up. Cheap as chips as well compared to the alternatives

Screwfix do the conlift one for about 40-50 quid, sturdy old thing & very quiet!

Gotta be better the sanicondens now they state its suitable for prv too & grundfos is a good name!

A wee look online of the manufacturers website or a quick call will clear up any questions on suitability.
