Local Context
Why this happens in Cape Town CBD
Apartment towers and mixed-use buildings with roof-mounted plant and ring-main hot water. Sheltered under Table Mountain with strong summer south-easters funnelling between buildings.
We see pool heat pump not heating 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.
