Condensing boilers rule?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Perhaps you need reminding? All the 'snip rubbish' you write can't hide your howlers from Google...

Now get professional help.

Lock in at the pub again?

Doesn't that hurt?

[Neil Jones]

If it is, do you feel it is appropriate to use sensory impairment for ridicule?

[IMM]

I see no ridicule. This family trite may distinguish you from the crowd.

[Neil Jones]

Allowing for your poor grasp of English, I doubt it very much. A search of friends reunited shows 400 Neil Joneses have registered. A number of these will probably have less than 20/20 vision.

[IMM]

It seems like all.

Where they are notorious for eventually leaking, I don't know of a single computer room with air conditioning which *hasn't* had a leak at one time or another :-(

[Andy Hall]

Usually it's because the outlet pipe gets blocked with crud.

With AC systems there are supposed to be interlocks so that if the condensate container overfills because the pump isn;t working or other reason, there is some kind of alarm or shutdown.

I somehow doubt that this is provided on those for use with boilers and there would need to be a wiring hook in anyway - although not hard to achieve. Some of the larger floor standing boilers have provision for a condensate pump as an option, I believe,

I think we all know by now that your perception is often a long way from reality.

[IMM]

Gosh.

IME the main reason for condensate collector sets leaking is an accumulation of dead insects blocking the outlet pipe. "Regular" service which includes checking and cleaning this out is often the key to the problem
