Can the boiler condensate go into a soakaway? I have a surface water
drain very close to to the proposed boiler site but a foul water drain
is a long way away and could well need a condensate pump to be effective.
TIA

got a permit (actually, just a letter saying it would be OK).
This is what I believe should be done. And permission depends on location,
soil type, etc. And no charge of any sort was levied.

can't use an existing surface water soakaway.

name is) and I am sure he used a soakway, it certainly wasnt plumbed
into a waste pipe or anything. I had the old style boiler pre that and
the new combi was installed in my garage. I have since sold the house
but I am sure thats what he did.

from oil boilers). So - I was told - a "soakaway" may not always be a
good idea in some places (eg straight into the footings).

It is a bit acidic but not overly so.

The soakaway is 3m or so from the foundations as per building regs for
surface water requirements. There's about 0.5cum of rubble in there.
If I get round to declaring the fitting of the boiler, I'll tell the
local BC then.

What effect might that have on a septic system?

Good to know! We've fairly recently had a condensing boiler installed,
and the condensate goes into the same drain as the washing machine, and
thence to the septic tank.

<Threadnap> sorry.
My new Combi, waste goes outside and currently drips into a bucket until I
decide what to do with it
there is a rainwater drainpipe, right next to it, I have no idea where it
goes as it sinks into the ground
Can I cut into this to path the combi boiler condensate waste?

don't worry, I've found this
"A pipe must leave the boiler and exit in to a drain.
all condensing boiler's produce condensation, this condensation leaves the
boiler (in liquid form) via a waste pipe,
this waste pipe must exit in to a drain, either an outside drain or it can
"tap" in to a sink/bath/washing machine waste inside the property,
the pipe must have a downward slope of at least 5%.
so I'm fine :-)
