How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before tipping or lifting the unit.

  • Check level: Verify the Heat Siphon is installed on a level pad with slight slope toward the drain side if specified.
  • Clear drain paths: Inspect the base pan for drain holes or channels. Remove leaves, dirt, and algae buildup.
  • Flush base: Use a gentle stream of water to flush debris out of the base pan and drain openings.
  • Monitor: After cleaning, observe operation to ensure condensate exits freely and does not pool.
