A little bit off topic, but when (roughly) was the roach palace built?

@tubageek2006 I'd guess the early 1900s.

I live in florida and water pours out with the 2 drain holes I drilled , thats b/s leave it level , water will rot your condensor out twice is fast , no idea where you where schooled on hvac but you want to remove water from Any unit be car / truck / home ect ect... hope my tip of the day saves you a condensor

@monsterdrumworks Uploads (0) - now THERE Is a real surprise!

I'm glad you know so much more than the people who engineered the air conditioning unit in the first place..the same people who run refrigerant lines in some units so they go through the water and shed heat into it...the same people who put "slusher" rings on the fans. The evaporator lives its life with moisture on it and has no problem!

I'd go on, but I'm out of room. Think you can do better? Get a video camera and _PROVE_ it!

@uxwbill In fact, the only reason I leave comments open on these videos, which seem to be a hotbed for this kind of garbage, is due to the number of people who are genuinely appreciative of what I've done.

I'm not a professional, but I stand by every word I ever said in this series of videos.

Proper carpet irrigation is a must in this severe drought situation.

[uxwbill]

@Jerkwad152 You should hear how hard I'm laughing after reading that comment. The only time I ever irrigated my carpet, it started to smell bad and only weeds ever showed up. Then again, weeds would appear to be the only thing I know how to grow with any degree of success. ;-)

Excellent! Informative, easy to follow, without any glaring gaps in steps or information. An absolute must for anyone with an older unit, or Freecyclers like myself, who want to know how to get the best out of their "new to me" unit, in the interest of the "reduce, reuse, recycle" way of life! Accolades and thanks to the makers of this film!!!!

@uxwbill i clean the filter every month but i think it may be time to clean the unit i've had it for a couple of years and it just started doing it the last two weeks

[uxwbill]

@crazybandit35 It could not hurt, although you should make sure that it is not tilted incorrectly (it should be very slightly outward) and that it is appropriately sized to the room it is cooling. Also check the filter to make sure it is not plugged.
