The condensate on my boiler is dripping constantly (even though it has a syphon trap) - I am trying to address this problem but need advice on a couple of things to try and pin-point exactly what the problem is.
Question #One - the area where it is dripping has gone green/yucky algae. I thought condensate was acidic so unlikely that algae would grow - is this correct? So what is dripping out of here? (There is only the condensate pipe in this area.)
Question #Two - I firmly believe that the constant dripping is causing me to lose pressure (for reasons still to be resolved). Would this also lead to a build-up of air in my rads?
Question #Three - the boiler is 2 months out of guarantee - if a part needs replacing and I get the manufacter in are they going to be sympathetic, or laugh and charge full wack? Any experience of this?
Many thanks
