4.4 Check-up

Our heat pumps have been developed and built to last, that is, if they have been installed correctly and can
run under normal conditions. Regular check-ups are important if you want your heat pump to function
safely and efficiently for years on end.
1. Make for easy access to the service panel.
2. Keep the area surrounding the heat pump free of contingent organic waste.
3. Prune the vegetation near the heat pump so that there is enough free space around the pump.
4. Remove contingent water sprinklers from the vicinity of the heat pump. They can damage the heat pump.
5. Prevent rain from directly running off a roof onto the heat pump. Install proper drainage.
6. Do not use the heat pump if it has been flooded. Immediately contact a qualified technician to inspect
the heat pump and repair it if should prove necessary.
Condensation can occur when the heat pump is running. This condensation can flow away through an opening
in the base pan of the unit. The amount of condensation water will increase when atmospheric humidity is
high. Remove any dirt that could possibly hamper the evacuation of condensation.
10 to 20 litres of condensation water can be produced while the unit is running. If more condensation is
produced, stop the heat pump and wait for one hour before checking for leaks in the conduits.
Note: a quick way to verify that the water running through the condensation drain is indeed
.
condensation, is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running If the water stops running out
of the condensation drain, it is condensation. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY is to TEST THE DRAIN
WATER FOR CHLORINE. If no chlorine is detected, the drain water is a result of condensation.
Also take care to leave air inlet and exhaust passages free. Prevent exhaust air from immediately re-entering
the unit through the inlet.
