pinguino PACW160A water not going through system and water tank full and showing it is empty

I've just been given one of these units & it had the same problem. Turned out to be a lack of decal procedure. Even though we live in a very low calcium area (Sydney, Australia), the corrosion of the copper coils seems to cause it.
The small pipe taking water into the tray beneath the coils was completely blocked & there was a ton of debris in the tray. With the pipe blocked, the water never runs into the tray to lift a little float which triggers a reed relay. The system therefore thinks there is no water in the tank.
I cleared the pipe, flushed out the tray, decal'ed it & all is now fine. If you're not up to this (& it was fiddly!) a simple decal may work, but it's not likely as the decal fluid will probably not make it as far as the blockage!
