A neighbour has just had a new condensing boiler fitted. What looks like
the condensate drain is tapped into a rainwater downpipe, which I'm almost
certain goes to a soakaway, because ours does.

Is that allowed? The neighbour wouldn't know, but he'd be keen to get it
right.

My installer told me that the stowaway is supposed to contain (IIRC)
limestone in order to neutralise the condensate

Does yours?
