LesLauriers Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Condensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I agree with Leslauriers it is almost certainly condensation. The pump should have a drain under the unit to evacuate the condensation produced, check whether this attached correctly and is not blocked. The hotter the outside temperature the more condensation produced.Baz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 thanks for your suggestion but water dipping more than i would expect from condensation and i have not seen this in 3 years .cannot easily strip the equipment down but cleaned panel of any cobwebs etc.-so any ideas unless a corroded hole in heating panel- after such a short time since new time i think not.

chirpy Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 Today i measured the loss and estimate 400 cc. in 10 minutes which cannot be condensation ,apart from weather in the haute vienne being cool ,26centigrade and ambient humidity 50%.
