Randpark · Priority
Heat Pump Leaking Water in Randpark
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Randpark.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Randpark sits within the Randburg belt, with larger stands, long hot water runs and frequent pool heating. Static pressure and dead-leg length are checked as part of any hot water complaint here. 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 Randpark?
Yes. Technicians work out of the central Johannesburg base, which keeps travel time short for northern-suburb call-outs. Randpark visits carry heat pump and geyser spares together, since both are commonly installed on the same property.
