Air Con help

Johnny_Revolver · 01-23-2007, 12:59 AM

A question for any Air Con intallers or repairers.

We have 3 lil box style A/C units fitted to the bedrooms, recently, we added a 4th unit to a room bulit on the back of the house and a split system on the living room. All of the units bar the one on the back room produce water out the condensation pipe outlet.. thingy.. lots of it, the split system pulls near 5 gallons a day out. The unit on the back room, its a large box one mounted into the wall, nary a drop.. It`s been going for a couple weeks, not constantly but several hours a day, nothing.. Any clues?

Is the unit tilted backwards a little so it can drain outside. It might collecting inside the unit and not draining. Or its going in your wall, which you should of noticed by now.

Yeah, its angled, not quite as much as the others. But heck yeah it`d be showing somewhere by now..

Apparently, according to the book supplied, it has an evaporator coil thingo and that explains the lack of water coming out the back.. I`m watering the tree`s and the grass just infront of the house with what comes out of the split system.. Just today, I`d conservatively say it`s pulled over 8 litres of water outa the living room in about 5 hours.. Struth...
