Boiler - water from the flue

Rob · 2010-12-22T18:02:14+00:00

I posted about this a while ago, and the plumber came round and diagnosed a faulty flue shroud. Water was coming out of the flue and forming a pond underneath. The shroud has now been redesigned with a 'bubble' to force water/steam back down the flue. I still don't follow how that volume of water could follow such a convoluted route (1m vertical, 3m horizontal), but still.Just been outside and seen this: (?) the flue joint has failed, but this seems like a bonkers amount of water to be ejected? I'll let the plumber know about this, but any opinions welcome.Rob

Yes, that's a good point, will do.

Yes - 'if'. I'll check the paperwork, see what I've paid for, see what's fitted, and see what Ideal recommend.

Indeed.

It doesn't discharge under the walkway - the pipe takes it to the external wall, then up and out.
