Florida contractor here , ton of WSHP's here ,problems I see , running trap, drain pipe same height as pan, little pitch seen on drain line,alumium micro channel air coil, installation issue. unfortunately the unit needs to be raised or the drain lowered, otherwise expect the drain to back up every 6 months or less. don't envy you to find the solution that the owner won't like.
Good video. Just a couple of things. Shouldn't the breather tube on that trap have a cap on it? It's in negative pressure and will try to keep the condensate from leaving the pan. Also, don't thing you did much to clear the drain because you didn't have the drain line isolated. Any pressure you applied to the breather tube could go into the opening to the pan instead of the line. Not trying to be critical, just looking for clarification based on my knowledge.
Your eyebrows are coming back that’s the good news. Well the video was interesting. I hope the drain will not give troubles anymore. I would like to help you out some day. Awesome work. Bit different systems than we have here in the Netherlands. Keep going on!
No disrespect but you will be going back, as mentioned by others, you can see the drain is off. Probably should have advised the customer that the unit will have to be raised or they will see this this type of nuisance outage occur again. Enjoy your videos, Keep uptake good stuff. Cheers!
Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does that thing do, is it a de-humidifier or a humidifier or something else? Nothing like it over here, well, we may well have but they oi not look anything like that. Been following you for a short while now and things are done differently over there and strange equipment. Heat pumps and Air-con I am fine with. Is it mostly air units for heating over there as opposed to wet systems? Sorry, lot of questions!
@@purplegoose7907 Got it now, thanks. Just not used to seeing this style on equipment. Tidy for a plant room, over here you are lucky if you can get into some of them!
It is basically an environmentally friendly system designed to use the heat from either water or the ground as it's medium,very efficient but so expensive you will almost never get your money back! Some of the new air to air systems are much cheaper and the efficiencies are creeping up on geothermal!
These next-gen IDS systems, such as Bosch, will overtake the Geothermal market. The return on investment is reached sooner on IDS systems, at lower installation costs. Geothermal systems, piping and well fields have a much higher cost of installation. Energy models show comparable performance factors for both systems.
It's kinda funny how long inverter based systems have taken to find a place in the market there. In Australia we've had inverter split systems being installed for easily 10 years now. I guess it's not quite the same as all your units are ducted but we've got plenty of those here too.
@@Thermoelectric7 I've installed inverter systems here in the US for the last 15 years. Not just Duct less either. In commercial, inverter type systems ha e been around for even longer. Digital compressors with VFD's
@@jasonjohnsonHVAC Neat. A large majority of the videos I've seen on here from US techs all have fixed speed compressors. Unloading in the case of chillers but no VFD's (on older stuff. Edit: bar the city multi style of unit). Maybe on the fans but that's about it. Good to know!

I'd rather have a water furnace over a climate master, so much better in every way
Thanks for the video, excellent as always.

Mostly water to air heat pumps from Climate Master where I am, but I've seen the water to water units. Big $$$$!!

@@MiHeatingGuy I'm in the north half of the UK, Scotland.
What was that that you were pouring down the primary?
Yep, only Geo's have condensate drains...not
Red backlight on a thermostat is a bad idea
