My mini split started leaking all over our floor. I tried the wet vac method 1st because that was the easiest, and I had one available. Immediately worked like a charm! I didn't even need to do anything to the unit inside. I will be looking at cleaning the unit just because. Anyone else having this issue, I would definitely recommend that course of action first. Saved me some $$. Thank you Jim! 🙏 Subscribed! 🙂

Thanks for this great video and explanation! We have the same unit you showed in the video and were able to fix the leak. Your step by step instructions and clear video showed exactly what to do. Had a little trouble getting the cover off so your pointer about the 4 tabs really helped. Also a little tricky getting the drip pan back in but again your close-up of the little ridge on each side helped.

Ok boss.... GREAT job in getting this on video!!..... YOU seem to be the man to ask this question. I bought a hybrid mini split unit and I REALLY love it!!.... It runs on 4 large solar panels here in AZ all day long without flinching without even any inverter, batteries or anything. Just run your PV wires to the AC unit and plug them in. It uses solar as the primary, then when the sun starts going down, it starts easing on the grid power little by little. FREE electricity during the day! ..... OK, my question is, Is there a function that turns OFF the water collection process? There's an app that goes with the AC unit that's pretty robust. Not too sure if I'm doing something that has made the condensation from collecting all the sudden. When I first installed it and turned it on, there was quite a bit of water coming out of the tube, now, not so much. Thoughts?

@DIYJIM

11 ай бұрын

I’m guessing when you first started the AC the humidity level in your house was higher. Now that the humidity level is low, you will only get a small drip out of the condensate line. Should be ok thanks for watching

I remove the inside unit, disassemble it and clean before reassembling. Just did it last month. The compressor will pump all the refrigerant into the outside unit then I close the valves. The amount of refrigerant lost is minimal. My unit is on an inside wall so I had to run a condensate line through 3/4 inch pvc pipe to a nearby wall. Once an iguana got stuck in there and died so i made a cover to keep future reptiles out.

Sorry really not sure, I would have said maybe it needs a cleaning but you said it is clean. Maybe once the humidity in your house levels off it will not make as much condensate, and stop dripping.

There’s no need for all that equipment. DIY only need a shop vac and a garden pressure washer. The shop vac will usually do the job. If you are going to clean just use Dawn dish soap, vinegar and a little Clorox. Make up a mild solution and use your garden pressure washer to wash the inside unit. Rinse using bottle water and the same garden pressure sprayer. Run that shop vac !!
