    Glowworm 30HXi condensate trap outflow speed

    Hi I inherited an LPG burning Glowworm 30HXi when I moved into my house some years ago. Great little boiler but had been neglected. I cleared a lot of debris out of the heat exchanger and chamber at base, on top of the condensate trap. I always flush several litres of water through the trap...

    Condensate when the boiler is not running

    I’ve been having a few pressure drop issues with my heating system. One problem already diagnosed and sorted (thanks to this forum) was a leaking EV at the valve end (replaced) but I am still seeing a pressure drop (albeit slower than before 1.5 -1.4-1.3bar) and wanted to ask a question.... I...

    How does a boiler sense the condensate pipe is blocked?

    How does a boiler sense the condensate pipe is blocked?. Boiler stopped working. I was told the condensate syphon was blocked and had to be cleared. I wondered how the boiler controls knew this?

    Vaillant condensate into washing machine stand pipe

    hi, i have a 40mm boss connection at the top of a horizontal soil stack that runs in the room. I'm intending to put a washing machine stand pipe at the end of this. I also have a Vaillant ecotec pro 28 boiler next to where the washing machine will sit and was hoping to get the GSR to reroute...

    condensate neutraliser

    I know that the condense from a boiler can only be terminated into a rainwater downpipe if its foul and rain combined but if its not and its easier and more tidy to run it into a separate rainwater downpipe is it OK to use a condensate neutraliser internally then run 32mm off of that to...

    Condensate issues with Firebird boiler

    We have a Firebird oil boiler, 35kw and have recently started getting issues regarding condensate or lack of it. Long story as short as possible. Boiler running without any issues for 2 plus years, unusual smell from it turns out to be plastic condensate trap melted. Looked into problem and it's...

Plus the pro plumber I use has been very helpful showing me tricks and techniques...

    Condensate pump and boiler off

    Hi, I have got a combi boiler with a condensate pump. I have found my boiler twice turned off electrically with the led display off. When I touched the pump the boiler turned on suddenly and the hot water started working again. Any ideas what could cause this? Thank you very much!

    Veissman 101 boiler condensate.

    Hi all Is it normal for the flue outlet to be dripping water onto the outside drive and window sill when its running, i say no as the condensate should run back into the internal drain. Views much appreciated.

    Condensate trap on one year old boiler

    Any idea why the condensate trap on a one year old ideal boiler would have so much sediment in it as seen in the picture? On other one year old boilers of the same model on this estate the condensate trap is clear. In the one in the picture there is also sediment in the black pipe that connects...

    Re. "KOP"s recommendation for a condensate connector

    I can't put my finger on it now, but I saw a post where someone asked about connecting the condensate flexi from a boiler to fixed 19/21 overflow pipe. One reply was just to slide the flexi over the end of the fixed overflow but as I recall "KOP" recommended a McAlpine compression...

    Condensate pipe termination

    Getting confused with how to route and terminate condensate pipes. My gas manual shows a diagram with the condensate pipe connected upstream of a washbasin trap. Baxi's manual does "not recommend", in caps, to connect upstream of the sink and its diagram shows the connection downstream of the...

    Hi there, I am not a plumber, but wondered if any plumbers out there could help? My dad is also not a plumber by trade (although has plumbed plenty) and is a bit stuck with this one. Basically, there was a leak coming from underneath our floor-standing Worcester Greenstar CDi boiler, which...

    A Good Condensate Pump (?)

    Hi - the external condensate pump at home has died a death, leaving me with a little puddle. It seems quite an old one - labelled "Pro" - it's about shoe box size, holds maybe 2l. Tried cleaning it out, but alas no pressure from pump. If anyone has a recommended pump I'd be pleased to hear about...
