Table 43. Problem – Water run-off by the outdoor unit, risk of moisture problems in house foundations
Cause Troubleshooting Remedy
Insufficient drainage. During some periods when the outdoor
unit is being defrosted, large amounts
(20-40 L/day) of water can run off.
Drain the ground under and around the
outdoor unit so that it can cope with the
extra amount of water produced
because of defrosting or install a drip
tray with a drainpipe routed to an
indoor drain or gully. NOTE! A heating
cable may have to be installed in the
drainpipe.
