Easy to do. My combi boiler pumps water downwards, which is not good for the pumps. Reversing the pump was especially unsuccessful because of the non-return valve en route. It may have been a bad idea for other reasons, but I will never know.
Yup, there is a lot to be said for gaining access via ceilings rather than via floors - often cheaper and easier to fix.
Unfortunately here in Cumbria anything in the roof is liable to freeze during a severe cold spell. That's why I moved to a pressurised system in the first place.
I fitted the boiler and hot water tank in the loft, keeps the chill off up there and frees up room elsewhere in the house.
The pressure relief pipe and the condensate pipe are two entirely different things.
Yes, got that Harry, in this case neither seems to be leaking water.
there should be something coming out of one if/when the boiler is running.
There has to be water coming out of the condense pipe when the boiler is running. Are you sure that it is not blocked or something?
Some twit could have installed it outside where it freezes.
It's not yet cold enough for that.
Get a grip!
It is here, and has been for the last 3 nights.
I've seen a couple of frosts.
It takes a lot to freeze up a condense pipe.
If something is heated UP, it should be frozen DOWN :-)
FFS! I'm sure that the OP will take note of your helpful comment.
Well you cool down.....
We had that years ago when the condensate pipe froze, the water backed up into the combustion 'chamber' and killed the burner. Not happening here. Anyway these litres of refill water have to be going somewhere and the boiler seems dry. The search continues.
Your neighbour tapped into one of the radiator pipes for free heating, and THEY have a leak somewhere :-)
Yes okay and all of that. But, have you even looked at the condense pipe? There Really should be water coming out of it. If you have not taken the time to look, then never mind.
Modern fancy rubbish, bound to go wrong. My boiler does not have the ne= ed to condense. Why do people spend =A31000s on a fancy boiler to save = them =A3100s on gas?
