condensate pumps

[mutley racers]

Evening chaps. Can anyone recommend a good condensate pump. One that is easy to install and preferably doesn't need a seperate fuse spur to run it.

Use the JeT one from bumbs or Raymond's . Wire it off the boilers feed and switch the boiler with the high level cut out. Shouldn't be wired of a separate fused spur any how as the if the pump was off the high level cut off would be live from boiler ..... Naughty! What boiler you connecting to?

It is going to be a logic +

I was watching a video o you tube about a pump and the guy said put a fused spur in

U will need to do it externally to boiler.

Cable from fused spur. Into junction box. Connet nutral and earth to boiler and pump and stat. Connect live to pump stat and to one of the two wires for the high level cut out (nut important which one of the two u use) connect other one to the live to boiler.


Then if pump stops working and overfills boiler stoops and no spillages and it gets noticed quickly not after the celing collapses

In the wiring instructions, it say I just need to pack in a block connector on the live, one back cable to this and one to the live supply to the boiler.

Are you saying I need to run a live neutral and earth to a junction box, then To the boiler as above

Yes but pump needs juice to run also. That's how we show all of our staff to do them. On a duo tec there is a spare block to use internally.

[mutley racers]

Understood. Thanks Ermintrude

 

[mutley racers]

how's this

 

[stevetheplumber]

heat only i assume from that?

 

[Ermintrude]

Good but no earth at boiler get your 5 year old to redraw!

And don't forget switch wires from stat to boiler !

Nooooo, combi. It will have a cm 90 or what ever they are called. So, switch live

I am trying to use my new s pen on new phone. It is quite hard to use really. And, I just got lazy with the earth and switch from stat to be honest

 

[bigads28]

Not a Sauerman, they are pants! Float switch sticks and the little non return valve on the outlet is utterly useless if you run it vertically of any distance!!! :bomb:

Is it not ok to just connect the stat wires into the boiler as normal and use the neutral in boiler for neutral from the stat? As I am just using an ordinary honeywell stat. No programmable stat

 

[Ermintrude]

Ay? Use lives from stat terminals and neutral from boiler. Why yes it is.

 

[mutley racers]

Thanks everyone, all installed and working great. Actually quite easy to wire up ain't they
