Nothing from the outlet of a condensing boiler!



Our has been getting that for ten years with no trouble. If you're
thinking of the acidity, it's no more acid than orange juice of
ketchup.

the real answer is nothing like chewing gum, used condoms or plstics.

Everything else biodegrades.

I often use caustic. The whole things is rapidly diluted the next time
you wash a wine bottle..or pee into it and the bacteria are replenished
every time you crap.
