condensate query

[adwt2004]

Hi guys,

Quick query. I am struggling to find a suitable place for a boiler to be fitted. I've had an idea of using my outhouse. I can route water pipes to it and a flue would be permitted their. Only query is the condensate. I do have a drain that I can break into but I believe it to be a rain water drain. My guttering feeds into a pipe that runs vertically down my house wall into this drain. I want to know if this can be used for the condensate?

This is the only option i have really apart from having my awkward house re-built...

All advice appreciated

it can go into the ground using an appropriate soakaway if your nowwhere near a waste pipe.

Well, I have a underground drain that runs right past my outhouse, It wouldn't be difficult to access this drain and run a waste. I just don't know whether it is permitted to use a drain for condensate that serves my rain water draining. Would it be against building regs?

I read somewhere that the acidity in condensate was the same as tomato juice So if thats the case what is the problem?

Why is a rainwater drain not ok? They go into....soakaways.

It's all a load of fuss about nothing I've drunk it, just tastes like puddle water can't detect any acidity. Central heating water after powerflushing with fx2 tastes nicer though. On the whole I prefer urine.
