The current Hepvo goes straight into a discharge pipe and outside ( not into drain ) . Think I’ll just install another water less trap on the other outlet and connect them together .

No water out of front . But some still pooling in right side where there’s no drain . Think I’ll have to do the double drain bodge

Bambu is best - even entry level .

What confuses me is you can configure left or right - but how does the water know which side to run too ! ? 🤣

I’ll let it run for tonight and see . When I did take the heat exchanger out it did have a surprisingly large amount of water in it .

I managed to pack it off the wall at the base . So it tips a bit more backwards . At this point in time as it’s run flawlessly for 4 yrs - I can only assume it’s moved slightly causing water to pool forwards and to the right ( bit with no drain ) . Or maybe dirt/ dust in the heat exchanger changing water flow direction ??? . How best clean that ? . Just sit in the bath and run hot water and detergent through it ?? All back together now . Want too see that water out the front has been solved . Then it’s in the lap of the gods if it flows left ( hurrah ) or right ( boo )

My view and experience is the opposite . We have ufh in the bathroom . I was worried it wouldn’t be enough to hear the space so added an electric towel rail . Towel rail has never been put on . Ufh in the bathroom ( as such a relatively small room ) heats from ufh no issue . I have ufh in bedrooms . Because someone ( I.e SWMBO ) will always want it warmer !

Stuck a small spirit level inside it as best I could . Assume really I want it to be slightly tilted back so water runs away from the front and to the left where my drain is . Seems to be the opposite in both axis !!

Notice felt guide on one side bent . Other side fell off . Ct1 that side back on ? Is this enough to cause water to run forwards ?

So it’s dripping again from the front . Opened both valve caps empty of water . So the heat exchanger I assume . Do I clean it ? Just rinse water through it ??

Condensation is as you say on the exhaust pipes ( to atmosphere ) . So as expected . I’ve never removed the heat exchanger unit now so *assume* it’s in the right way round ! . How can I tell ? I think it would fit in either way which sounds like bad design imho . Heat exchanger is a snug fit so no chance of sitting incorrectly.

I’m actually shitting in the woods thanks

Well ! vent axis instructions insist on ONE drain . Apparently according to them - 2 drains can conflict and cause vacuum on the other . So drain on left side as instructions dictate . Water on right - as there is no drain . I want to know why vent axia don’t mention this …. I simply can’t be the only person ever to experience this .

So perhaps its ’normal ‘ ??

Yous me bro

No no no - you over complicate that massively ! So you have home automation running a tpu . Cctv ip camera linked to tpu .You can then identify if a person . Tpu then triggers a zigbee relay . Zigbee relay turns on light . Easy peasy until it (expletive deleted)s up of course ! . Then you can have any type of light .

Poor vent axia ! . The ‘technical’ guy is obsessed that as I don’t have a Hepvo valve this is the issue . I’ve tried explaining multiple times that the water is in a section with no valve . He clearly doesn’t get it !

Spoke to vent axia - not much help tbh . The water I assume must be from ‘extract from dwelling ‘ . Still confused how this happens ….

All back together and seems to be working perfectly. Confused how water accumulated on the right though ….

Other way round for filters ffs !!!

To convince myself! - it's a left handed system. I know this because the left filter has dust from inside whilst the right filter has black/pollution from outside. So I guess whats confusing me is why have water in the right side where there is no drain? -

I’ve got a warm roof so all pipe work is in that . I’m still confused why both tanks aren’t simply linked and drain to one point . I’ve emailed vent axia too see . Perhaps I’ve just been ‘unlucky ‘ and if regularly serviced would have avoided this …

Left hand config drain on left; right hand config -drain on right. Mines left hand I believe. So drain is the correct side.... Will drain it, clean it and see.

Yep . Either side a fan . Below each fan a self contained tank . The only place either can drain is through the plug in the base of their respective tank .This is why I think I might have the drain on the wrong side . But it’s been working perfectly for 4 yrs as is !!

There’s a ‘plug’ on the right side - so I could manually drain it …. But I don’t get how it works if water sits there
