Hello
I live in a block of (privately owned) 20 year old flats. As the central heating boilers are being replaced, new, condensing boilers are being fitted. (All the boilers are different - as chosen by the owners. All are installed by different plumbers.) They all discharge their condensate over communal paths. In the winter, their water on the paths freezes and causes a hazard to everyone.
I've mentioned this to a few people and I've been told the boilers are installed incorrectly. In this situation the boilers must discharge their condensate some other way.
The Management people who maintain the communal parts of the block don't know what to do.
Is it true that 'regulations' demand the condensate is discharged in a safe manner? If so, can someone direct me to a website that contains the rules - so I can inform the Mgt Co?
Any other advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
