Econar unit leaking water in basement

[Zugunruhe]

Our six year old Econar Geosource 2000 five ton unit started leaking water on Friday, not a lot, but enough to raise concern. When the compressor and fan kick on it sounds just like when your washing machine is draining after a rinse cycle.

I haven't had a chance to pull off the front panel yet to see if I can visibly ID the source of the water, but thought I would start here to see if anyone knew what I might be up against.

Thoughts?

That's a pretty heavy leak. My gut tells me it wouldn't be the actual loop or your condensate drain. It may have something to do with a hot-water recovery system. Do you have that option installed? (a.k.a. desuperheater). If so, hopefully your unit has a switch to turn it off. That's an easy first step.

Talked to a tech at Terratherm and he suggested the condensate drain was the likely culprit, and he was right. Cleaned out the offending muck, flushed the tube and we're back in business.
