Condensing boiler condensate recycling
Hi,
has anyone had any success in recycling their condensate from their boiler? I'm assuming it's too acidic to use in the garden but that I could change the pH of it easily enough. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks, Dan. -- ~ Dan Woodford ~ www.saltandwoodsmoke.com Better living through preservation |

Any thoughts welcome. Could be good for flushing loos -- no hard water scale and would slowly dissolve any limescale that was there due to the regular water supply. -- Andrew Gabriel |

Plastic cistern, plastic parts, plastic pipe to loo. Not for use in old metal systems. NT |
