AC/Heat

Post by Mike »

I have a steady discharge when the heat is running but not the AC. Intake has been checked and are clear. AC isn't running as cool as it should. Any thoughts?

If by discharge you're referring to the raw water that's circulated through the heat exchanger (I'm assuming that's what you mean) and it's working with the heat cycle then I'd be looking at the control circuitry as opposed to a pump or water line issue. Sounds like it's not turning on the circulating pump in AC mode. Have you tried the manufacturer's web site? They may have a troubleshooting FAQ. Hopefully others with more than my limited knowledge will chime in! :)

Mike,
My pump only runs when the ac is running. When it reaches the desired temp and cuts off, so does the pump. Not sure on the heat, but it seems to me that its the same....cuts off when the heat cuts off. Mine is a Marine Air.

Just like Chief - pump cuts out when temp is achieved. Works the same in both heat and a/c mode. Mine is also a Marine Air unit.

On our Anchor units, the pump runs continuously, whether you're in heat or cooling mode. This is probably because there is one pump and two units. You turn on the pump seperately from the units. There is one inlet and three above-waterline outlets. When the pump is on, one is always discharging. The other two discharge only when the heat or cooling cycle comes on for their respective units.
