Chances are the belt and tensioner is not the problem. Your water pump is. Check the bottom of the water pump and see if there is some anti-freeze comming from the weep hole. If there is then that is the problem. Anti-freeze will cause a serpentine belt to come off because of its lubricating properties If there are not leaking fluids dripping on the belt that would cause it to come off then, it sounds like a belt alignment problem. You should check your mechanics guide to determine how to adjust the alignment.
