Alde System Drip

I have a 2020 Classic 33 with a 3020 Alde system with Alde flow. Yesterday, approx 8oz of Alde fluid was released/dripped from the black hose underneath the unit irrespective of whether the unit was turned on or off.

What is the purpose of the black hose? Any suggestions as to why its doing this?

Thanks for taking the time to read this message and respond.

Cheers,
Mick

I’ve noticed that when we do the shower boost and the unit hits 165+ degrees, there is condensation that drips from that hose. I know you posted on or off but did someone hit shower boost without you knowing?

Is it clear (water condensation) or the blue glycol color?

The liquid dripping from the black hose when Alde was off was definitely glycol. When the Alde unit was on and there was dripping, boost was not on.

Hi

Is this the overflow hose off of the bulk reservoir? If it's located by the axles it may well be.

No, this is the hose near the boiler, at the entrance door on the Classic 33.

I had the same problem. It's the auto air blead valve. On the hose going to the boiler you will see a brass valve with a small drain hose running to the drain in the floor. The valve isn't closing when the air is released. You can pinch off the drain hose to stop the leak until you can get it fixed if it continues.
