Germiston · Priority
Heat Pump Leaking Water in Germiston
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Germiston.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Heavy industrial base with steam boilers, calorifiers and process hot water in engineering and manufacturing plants. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.

How do you diagnose it?
Trace the leak with the unit isolated and pressurised; Pressure test the water circuit; Inspect the condensate tray and drain path; Check heat exchanger for cross-leak into the water side. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
Do you attend this fault in Germiston?
