We are curently camping and I woke up this am to a flooded basement. After looking I see water dripping from under my hydro-hot system coming out of the 3" diameter hole that has the rubber boot. I pulled the cover off but cannot see any water, so I supect it is internal. I also suspect either the coil or some part broke inside during the night.

Any ideas on how to fx this if there is a fix?

System has been working great until last night sometme when something started leaking. This is plain water, not the anti-freeze. System is an HHE-500 in an 05 Mountain Aire 4304.

Thanks

You should pull the access cover off the unit and look at the cold water fittings. If you have the water turned off be sure to kill the power also. If the leak is in the fresh water loop inside the unit then the expansion tank would be over flowing. Anything leaking in that bay would likely come out through that big opening.

If the leak is not readily apparent then go to this forum and join:

Thanks for posting back & letting us know the outcome. I love it when it turns out to be the easiest fix. We just spent a few days over in you "neck of the woods", close to Lexington. Love that BBQ.
