With a circulating, cooled drinking fountain system. One day a member of the crew informed me that the water tasted funny. Indeed, there was a lemony effervescence with a distinctly oily finish to it. A check with a freon leak detector confirmed the presence of R-12.

We secured the system and found the heat exchanger was leaking. Eventually it was fixed.
