    Hello, In August 2017 I had a Greenstar 30i Worcester Bosch combi boiler fitted. Everything has been fine until yesterday when I notice that at one of the joints on the white plastic condensate pipe there is a (slow) leak. The leak is no different whether the boiler is on or off.

    Risk to boiler of backfilling through condensate trap

    Hi I have a condensing boiler recently installed with a small bore pipe taking the condensate into the internal waste drainage. Does the Valliant boiler have protection in it to stop any back flow from a feed that enters the same condensation pipe? The feed into it will naturally flow away...

    Condensate cannot go into Foul Drains when a Septic Tank is used

    Just a 'Heads Up'. Condensate from Condensing Boilers MUST NOT be drained into Foul Drains when a septic tank or sewage treatment plant is part of the foul drainage system. The condensate kills the bacteria in the tanks due to its high acidity and the sewage treatment stops working.
