Details

Discharging untreated, acidic boiler condensate directly onto garden soil or near building foundations will erode brickwork and damage local plant life. Consequently, you face costly structural repairs and environmental issues over time. Furthermore, routing standard overflow pipes without a proper external termination point can cause water to back up into your home during freezing weather. As a result, this system block forces your boiler to shut down entirely when you need heating the most.

Fortunately, installing this McAlpine SOAK1GR soakaway unit eliminates these environmental and mechanical system frustrations completely. Because this specialized container holds neutralizing limestone chippings, it safely processes acidic boiler runoff before it disperses into the ground. Additionally, since the unit provides versatile top and side 1¼” and 1½” connections and includes all necessary watertight seals, you can quickly adapt it to your specific external pipework layout. Therefore, you successfully secure an efficient flow rate and achieve full compliance with BS 6798:2014 and Building Regulations.
