MVHR and Sewage Treatment plants - incompatible?


Recommended Posts

Currently considering which sewage treatment plant to install and am considering a Vortex Eco.  The manual says:

DON’T allow the condensate from heating systems to enter the foul drains. This has a very low pH and can destroy a sewage treatment plant or septic tank.

 

The MVHR unit I have, a Vent-Axia Kentic Plus, has a condensate drain that the install manual states:

The unit’s condensate drain must be connected to the building’s wastewater drainage system.

 

Questions:

How much condensate is generated and is it really incompatible with a sewage treatment plant?  

Any issues with running the condensate direct to the rain-water drainage system instead?

Its fine - this refers to gas condensing boilers as their condensate is acidic. MVHR is just water either off the heat exchanger or rainwater.
