3.7 Condensation
Since the Heat pump cools down the air about 5°C, water may condense on the fins of the evap-
orator. If the relative humidity is very high, this could be as much as several litres an hour. The
water will run down the fins into the base pan and drain out through the barbed plastic condensa-
tion drain fitting on the side of the base pan.
This fitting is designed to accept 20mm clear vinyl tubing which can be pushed on by hand
and run to a suitable drain. It is easy to mistake the condensation for a water leak inside the
unit.
TIP:
A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the
pool pump running. If the water stops running out of the base pan, it is condensation. AN
EVEN QUICKER WAY IS TO TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR CHLORINE - if there is no chlorine
present, then it
’s condensation.
