A recent house extension, meant we had a new condenser boiler fitted - a Glowworm Flexicom 18Hx. It has generally done the job but produces what seems like very large quantities of water droplets from the flue, which drips down the brickwork below In the 3-4 mths since its been operational this has already begun to run the brickwork green.
Now in the colder weather, there's a glacier down my wall and I'm worried this will cause the brick work to crack.
I've designed a water collector from a 2l Lemonade bottle with the top cut off and shaped so a collar sits under the flange around the flue and have collected approx 0.5 l in about a day.
There's generally a regular drip, but every so often, a guttural spurge of water, which probably accounts for most of the problem.
Is there something that needs tweaking to stop this ?
