Local Context
Why this happens in Diep River
Homes and small commercial premises with modest hot water demand. Cooler, wetter winters on the mountain side with damp mornings affecting defrost cycles.
We see pool heat pump leaking across domestic geyser retrofits, integrated hot water systems, pool plant and commercial installations. The diagnosis is the same discipline every time: prove the fault with readings before replacing anything.
