Isando · Priority
Heat Pump Leaking Water in Isando
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Isando.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Warehousing, cold chain and light manufacturing with process hot water and boilers. Where a site runs on borehole water, hardness and iron content shorten service intervals considerably and are worth testing before setting a maintenance plan.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What causes heat pump leaking water?
The usual causes are blocked condensate drain or tray, perforated heat exchanger, failed pump seal or union, cracked pipework from freeze or vibration. Which one it is can only be confirmed by measurement, not by symptom alone.
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 Isando?
Yes. Ekurhuleni call-outs are grouped by area so industrial and commercial visits can be attended on the same run. Cold chain and process plant scheduled around production.
