Pretoria North · Priority
Heat Pump Leaking Water in Pretoria North
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Pretoria North.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Older residential stock plus light industry, with many element geysers still in service. Where a site runs on borehole water, hardness and iron content shorten service intervals considerably and are worth testing before setting a maintenance plan.

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.
