Glowworm Flexicom 30cx new pump needed-please help

[alibongo]

Hi, the condensate pump on my Flexicom 30cx has packed in (I'm pretty sure it is that as the reservoir fills within a day or so and if I empty it,it all works ok again for a day).Can I get a suitable pump that is not supplied by Glowworm (very expensive) and fit it myself?Money is tight just at the moment due to car also deciding to play up and the weather is cold.Thanks

You could replace it with a much cheaper on but u need probably need a spark if wired external to boiler,, if all wires led to boiler u will need a ga safe engineer. To keep u going drill a small hole in base of pump sump and put 10l bucket below. Empty it every two days .

Thanks.I just bought a replacement pump amd reservoir for £80 all in from Plumbtraders, it looks like the simplest option for me not having the skills. The wires go to a separate fuse box so no wiring skills needed, just connect the two hoses to the reservoir.

Make sure electric is off!
