Condensate Management
Strong Wind
Blown Wind
When the Air to Water Heat Pump is running in heating mode, ice can begin accumulate on the
surface of the condenser.
To prevent ice from growing, the Heat Pump will go into defrost mode to melt the ice.
The water formed from the melted ice will fall to the base of the heat pump where it can escape to
ground through the drain holes in the base. This will require a drain pit or soak hole beneath the
Heat Pump to prevent water or ice from forming on the ground around the Heat Pump which may
be a safety hazard.
If installing the Heat Pump on a wall, the supplied drain plug and drain hose can be fitted to pipe
the water away to drain.
If the unit is not been installed over a gravel trap to allow for drainage then carry out the following steps:
1.
Mount the unit on feet keeping the unit more than 100mm above the ground.
2.
Connect the drain plug as shown above and a suitable hose to the plug.
3.
Run the hose into a suitable drain located near by. If there is no drain nearby run the hose to an
area where natural drainage can take place.
4.
Never mount the unit on a wall frame without installing sufficient drainage management.

If drain work is not enough,
it can lead to system perfor-
