The attached photo shows the drain at the bottom of a PK boiler with a P-trap, and the drain at the "bottom" of the flue with a loop trap. There is a collection device in the flue to allow condensate to be collected at the point where the drain is located.
The boiler has decolorization on the heat exhanger, and it is suspected that the high flue trap is to blame. The two drains Tee together and go into a neutralization basin.
It doesn't seem possible to me that one drain could affect the other, but evidence would suggest otherwise. The PK manual shows both drains Teeing together before the trap, instead of each one having a separate trap.
Any thoughts?
