Hi,
I have solar hot water. It's copper drainage pipes are leaking 15L of water per minute onto our roof. If I shut water off at the mains, the water stops dripping. If I cut power to my hot water, the water stops dripping.
Is there a remedy to fix this myself?
Edit - originally I thought this was my air conditioning unit. It's actually my solar hot water.

Good news it's not leaking into your roof.
Bad news it's probably something inside the ceiling unit - ie not able to regulate the water flow anymore.
Try googling the model of the unit and water leak.
