"It depends how much your boiler is being used and what temperature it is running at the more condensate you use the more efficient your boiler is working if it’s being used constantly at an efficient rate perhaps a bucket full"

"I depends on how well the boiler is set up. Some condense in line with the manufacturers guidelines others don't. Boilers are most efficient when the return temperature is about forty five degrees, so flow temperature and system balancing are the 2 most important factors. Set up well it can be ten litres an hour. If your not seeing much, it needs setting up."

"This depends on usage and pipework situation. There should be no water lying in pipework"

"That’s a big of a broad question to be honest. Depends if the boiler heats the hot water and the central heating too."

"Are you seeing the water? It should be into a soakaway or connected to a waste pipe?"

"Condense depends on a number of reasons - firstly it depends on how much you use your boiler , condense bottles in boilers generally hold about a pint of water and it’s quite common in cold periods for this to disperse 2/3 times per day - but it really is how much you have your system
On per day"
