Water Coming From Heat Pump - Aquacal Heatwave SuperQuiet TropiCool TC1500 Operation Manual

Water Coming From Heat Pump

ISSUE
The water may be normal condensation produced as a by-product of the heat pump's refrigeration
process.
The heat pump can produce up to 8 to 10 gallons (30 to 38 liters) of condensation per hour depending on
the humidity of the ambient air. Determine if the water is condensation or a possible leak.
RESOLUTION
1. Deactivate heat pump, leaving the filter pump on. After several hours, determine if the water is still coming
from the heat pump.
2. If using chlorine or bromine as a pool/spa sanitizer, test the water around the heat pump using a test strip. If
the test strip indicates that chlorine or bromine is present, a leak may exist.
PLEASE NOTE -
If desired, a kit is available to re-direct condensation water away from the heat pump.
See "Condensation Drain Kit (# STK0202)" on page 52.
