When the heater is operating,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If heater has not run recently,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

it is normal to produce up to 8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

gallons of condensation (water)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and water is coming

TESTING:

If using chlorine as a pool/spa sanitizer, use a chlorine test strip or test kit to determine whether the water is from the pool or is normal condensation.

OR

An alternative method of determining a pool water leak in the heater is to turn the heater off for a few hours, leave the pump running, and see if water continues to drain from the heater.
