Nice to see Mike again ..know him from my days at boiler plan ... I see this all the time it's powered straight to the spur and not looped through on the black wires so easy to do but still not done properly on some installations..
Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense a lot of sense. Reason for me watching? Well, we had a new boiler fitted last winter and today we had an issue with our Condensate Pump not switching off. Got a guy coming to take a look tomorrow but I thought I would ask you what could cause the pump to never turn off. Im assuming its got to be a blockage in the condensate pipe (it looks ok visually) or something blocking the return float. Seems to be a Grundfoss Conflit 1, I can see water level in the channels on the corners which doesn't seem to change. They advised us to turn off the boiler until they can take a look. But I'm intrigued as to why it would fail to stop (rather than fail to kick in).
The safety switch wiring has no polarity correct? In other words its just one continuous wire broken into two connectors to put on the condensate pump safety switch. Its either giving power to the unit or the switch is triggered and the power is cut to the unit?
Thanks for the video. My pump is running constantly as it seems that it has not been wired to the boiler. How much should this job cost? The pump is located around 6 meters from the boiler. Thanks.
Hello mate. Not long after putting the heating on I hear like a short rev kind of noise followed by a burst of water rushing through the pipe then the condensate pump will bang loud and fast for a short while. What could be causing this? Do I just need a new one?😮
couple of questions...... Can we put 240v live from condensate pump to boiler with no earth traveling in the flex as its 2 core? if we have the boiler in a unheated space and the condesate pump fails and cuts the live feed to the boiler the boiler frost stat will no longer work which in the Mi's will invalidate the warranty what do we do about this?
I agree that it’s best practice to have a CPC running through cabling with 230v, opinions welcome. Good thoughts regarding internal frost stat. Personally, rightly or wrongly, I think on the few pumps I’ve been involved in always wired the shut off to the switched live of the appliance. However, on a rare occasion the condense pump might have failed and frost stat has also kicked in you could have a potential overflow situation, albeit for a short duration.

Quality lads much appreciated these are great videos... many thanks
Our pleasure!

Another great video. Would have been great to see the opitions to terminate the condesate end pipe.
Thanks
Great suggestion!

Can you tell me the best way to fit lagging to this 10mm pipe coming off condence pump do you still take it outside in 32mm pipe

Brilliant vid
Great content as usual thanks Alan
How do you wire it in then it's not very clear I do them from fused spur
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your time.

Ive got the same issue, did u manage to fix it. What was needed. Thanks
Not yet 😞
@@asey89 I will let you know when I know what the problem is
Thank you!
You're welcome!
On the vaillent boiler pcb there is a burner conector with a link wire in it you can remove the link wire from the burner conector conect the 2 wires
Brilliant info pal 👍

I recently had a boiler service, when i checked afterwards, the condenser pump was full of green gunk and is now not working 😢 😢
Thank You
@@AllenHart999 it wasn't you by the way!
Sooner or later, it all comes down to moppin'.
Thank You
Would be even better if you actually installed it rather than just showed a diagram on the whiteboard
Love this stuff
