This side of the hose looks ok - I’ll let the expert check it out properly but potentially it could be that as I see some marks of liquid but I still have the question of what should be coming down the tube. I added a picture of what I see.

Ok - the chap is coming tomorrow have a look - I’ll ask him to check that too and let you know findings. The thing still puzzling me is why would central heating water be coming down the condensate pipe - is this normal as it definitely looked and smelt like the water in the central heating...

Also there is only 1 flat above (I’m ground floor) going into the soil pipe and the occupant was away till yesterday so there would have been nothing coming down the soil pipe. Is the condensate pipe actually connected to the heating water? In my mind I assumed it was collecting water condensed...

Ok I’m not sure what abreast is but it’s connected about a meter away and it slopes down. There has been no rain here for a few weeks (amazing I know). I sponged the water out and it definitely was water from the heating - it smelt - and the boiler pressure had dropped from 1.5 to 0.5 so I’m...

I topped water up and switched on and it’s working fine - not sure why this water would appear - it has happened before asi saw water coming out of the boiler once before a few months ago but I dint look inside to see where from - thought I might be related to the pump issue. No leaks inside now...

Yes- I just looked and I see that that valve is below the tray that was full of water.

Thank you - will do.

Thank you - I will ask the engineer to check tomorrow. The condensate pipe goes through wall and into a soil pipe I think. The thing, is would condensate be condensed water from the atmosphere? As I see the water in that drip tray and in the plastic condensate container is yellow ish and looks...

Thanks Yes - the competent person is coming on In a couple of days hopefully - just looking to prepare myself for potential cost/new boiler. The leak happened overnight by the way - when the boiler was off. There was no leak before then. I mopped up the water from the tray and topped up the...

Hello I have a Baxi duotec 28 he combi. There was some water on the floor and dripping from under the panel which you flip down to switch it on/adjust the timer. It failed with an error code ( sorry I forgot code) which said it was due to a frozen condensate tube. The condensate tube is not...

all done now - works exactly as required - they did know what they were doing after all. I noted what they did so if anyone else stuck, I can tell you.

Ok thanks

I'm in Cardiff

Dan - is there a specific 'speciality' I need to look for eg heating engineer who could do what want - I mean plumber doesn't know enough and electrician doesn't know enough (although to be conformed tomorrow) - what type of tradesman do I need to get in to do the connections as I described above?

yeh well I'll see what ideas they come back with tomorrow - and decide if they know what they doing - before its touched - hence i needed to know how it should be done.
