Possible Causes

Sludge or debris in condensate trap, Frozen external condensate pipe, Incorrect fall on condensate pipework

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.

  • Locate the condensate trap and remove it according to the ATAG manual.
  • Rinse the trap thoroughly with clean water to remove sludge.
  • Check the condensate pipe for kinks, sags, or external freezing; thaw gently if frozen.
  • Ensure the pipe has a continuous fall to the drain to prevent standing water.
  • Refit the trap, refill with clean water, and test operation.
