Aquarius Apartments Heating

February 3, 2026

I wanted to bring to the attention of unit owners who care the following information.

For those of you owners who woke up to frigid temps in your unit, please pay attention.

In direct contrast to what your management has told unit owners about the cooling towers water loop temperature being adequate for in-unit heating during these extreme cold conditions, we have confirmed the actual temperature of the water being circulated in at least one line (North 3). It is measured to be no greater than 40F and likely to be lower inside the pipe. I have confirmed with an HVAC specialist at Pride AC, that water sourced heat pumps will not work at all with this water temperature for heating purposes.

How can management tell us the contrary? Why can’t we just get to the truth? Instead, they communicate to us that we must maintain our own heat pumps/ AC units. Of course, we all do that and know how to set the heat!
