A couple of questions... Where was the condense going before, had they dumped it into the cavity ? ..... I've seen that dirty trick before. Is that the reason for the damp? Where did you put the new run ? Out on to the roof or down to a drain with all the insulating etc ?
might be worth mentioning for any new operatives watching, not all condensate pumps are suitable for the PRV pipe to be piped into (consult the manual). Nice to see you wired the condensate pump safety switch correctly, I have seen this wire connected to the CH demand/switched live and many times it has just been cut off!!. But a nice little informative video tho.
Hi, As a heating engineer/plumber I really enjoy your videos. You’re a great example of a young, enthusiastic engineer and it’s great to see. A silly thing though, please get rid of the laces on your hoodie. Every time I see them they make me cringe and your lovely family wouldn’t want anything to happen to you. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Ian
Thanks buddy, I have recently moved in to a new property and found my Sanicondens pump has been wired incorrectly to the Worcester Greenstar, permanent feed with cut off wiring wrapped up and not used, I thought it would be connected that way but never used one before. Great explanation and video.
Just done one today after all these years I've never had to do one, I wired it in to a three way wago, live from fuse spur, live to pump, and the brown wire on the two core. Blue wired in to three core (live) to boiler. Five core from boiler to receiver. My issue and I had to do a bodge was tying in the 8/10mm hose in to the white plastic adapter, cut the end off and it didn't seem to bond with solvent, I ended up using the black rubber condi straight that came with boiler, glue in the white fitting, slid the rubber straight over it then a jubilee clip, then condi pipe in other end with another jubilee as had a spare. Is there a specific way to join that flexible hose to a 21.5mm overflow pipe? Wish I'd watched this video first I wasted half an hour thinking through the wiring lmao. (duo tec compact).
Sorry just to add, condensate pipe fed along the loft and into the guttering, the roofer lifts the tiles and makes good, so I couldn't just run the hose the entire way to the guttering, head height /length wasn't an issue, just the logistics.
Very good pump, thanks for sharing. I installed the same pump but i have used the alarm switch to supply the coil of an external 230V relay which disconnects the boiler's main cable (socket) when the pump or drain is blocked. Boiler can't be opened, is sealed for waranty reasons. Maybe you do a video about that. Good luck
Secondary cable call it a float switch please mate easier to teach when it’s explained as a float as in my experience engineers understand it better sorry for being one of those commentators mate love your work and channel 👍👍
Cheers mate, so it's not a neutral wire, they're both just switching wires but ones brown and ones blue. Doesn't matter which way round you wire them in 👍🏽
that switch specs are 5A/250VAC so you can connect anything that not exceeds those; if more power is needed than use and intermediate relay if you don't know what low voltage means ask help from a qualified electrician
Very helpful, thank you for the video. I got a question on a different subject, I am thinking of going self employed on part time basis, about the trading name, can I just name what I want or do I have to register somewhere, you named cp utility, did you have to register it, can you please explain in layman's terms.
@@cputilitysolutions it was more around the language, condense is a verb ie to condense. Condensate is the noun for the discharge from the boiler. I wonder why it's called a condense pump - I'm not having a go at you, I have seen lots of plumbing channels call it this but I wondered if there was a reason for it.

Nice glad it helped 👊🏾
As always very clear and easy to follow, top man for sharing. keep it going was great to see you at the installers show this year.
Nice one mate glad it helped 👍🏾 great to meet you too man
Thank you for such a clear and easy way to understand your video. Appreciate it! 👍🏻
Nice one mate
Great job as always, minor comment and definitely not a criticism is that the switched live blue should be marked with either brown tape or sleeving
Good point 👍🏽
Nice one Chirag❤. That was well worth watching. Too content as usual.
Thank you 👍🏾
Great video buddy been following ya for a while great videos
Thank you mate!
Very helpful thanks mate! Is this the same for the Vaillant Ecofit Pure boilers, take link out of burner off and put two wires in?
Yes correct mate 👍🏾
Top class explanation 🎉
Thank you 👍🏾
Nice video mate 👍 Im impressed with your videos, keep up the work
Thanks mate 👍🏽
Good video
You forgot to mention X40 connector harness on the Old Vaillant eco Tec
Cheers
Nice one thanks 👍🏾
Really well explained mate, thanks for the vid 👍
Nice one mate glad it was useful 👍🏽
Sorry, I got it after watching a second time. Thanks
👍🏽
Great Video. Well explained 👏
Thanks mate 👍🏽
Great content again mate.
Cheers mate 👍🏽
Amazing explanation
Thank you 👍🏽

Nice one mate, depending on which condi pump you buy, they should come with adapters to go into overflow pipe
So if you've got a vailliant you can just write the live neutral earth as normal then put the other cable with the two wires in burner off bit?
Exactly that mate 👍🏽
@@cputilitysolutions that's interesting I didn't even know that. We mainly vailliants for the council so will come in handy
Very good pump, thanks for sharing.

Boiler can't be opened, is sealed for waranty reasons.

Fair comment 👍🏽
Good video mate as always,
Did you put the blue neutral into the switch live,
Hard to see if it was the brown or blue
👍👍🤜
Cheers mate, so it's not a neutral wire, they're both just switching wires but ones brown and ones blue. Doesn't matter which way round you wire them in 👍🏽
Understood there only a pair of switch wires hence polarity doesn’t mater,
😎👍👍🤜
@@tonymurff5234 spot on 👍🏽
Hey, great video I’m fitting one of these myself tomorrow to a Main 30kw hope it’s easy for newbie
Nice one, you'll be fine 👍🏾
i didn't know you could send the prv into it, because of the potential for very hot discharge i usually see that piped into a saniflo type pump
👍🏽
not all condensate pumps can take a pr valve discharge pipe, i believe the centrebrand ones cant BINGO
@@stevenjohnson6082 👍🏽
thanks bro
Grundfos says the safety switch is for low voltage only. Should you still connect it to 240V then?
The pump still needs 240v to run and this is just one way to install it
@@pecosimplu7070 That's no low voltage!
that switch specs are 5A/250VAC so you can connect anything that not exceeds those;
if more power is needed than use and intermediate relay
if you don't know what low voltage means ask help from a qualified electrician

Thanks - you need to check on Companies House if the name is already taken or not 👍🏽
thank you ur videos .
👍🏾
THANK YOU 🙏🏼

No boiler interlock terminals on Worcester ? thought there was
Nope not on these, might be on the newer ones
Can you explain little bit more how to wire vaillant. I did not get burner thing. Thanks
Check out this video where I've wired a condensate pump to a Vaillant
th-cam.com/video/3PTK7_68V8U/w-d-xo.html
Thanks mate. Have you done video on Worcester . Can you share that too please
Do more videos with unsafe situations
👍🏽
lets see your work?
maybe you have a wiring diagram for the Junkers ?
daca mai ai nevoie de schema pot sa iti fac eu una
@@pecosimplu7070 salut, mai am nevoie, acum urmează sa montez pompa
Why is it called a condense pump and not a condensate pump?
Same thing

@Hambini you're correct. it's actually called condensate pump
@@olalekanoyedokun4494 👍🏽
@@cputilitysolutions its not the same condense, condensing boiler that's what type of efficiency, condensate is the product you are removing BINGO
👍👍👍👍
👍🏽
Don’t wire the neutral from the Worcester board, not recommended to draw power from the board to power low voltage appliances.
Ok 👍🏾
Please can you explain it more clearly because it's easy on Vaillant boiler, but I am still confused with other boiler
