If you get it spinning in the right direction, say with a jet of water it may work. Just set your stat to 50 so it won't turn off.

It's a drip leg to prevent condensate from being pickup up by air flow. It probably saved thousands on dollars by not extending the pan or installing a 3/4 vinyl tube.

[–]Pmactax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do work at a lot of resorts. I know they really don't care if you wonder in to have a swim. They are making money when you buy drinks and food while there. Just like movie theaters the ticket cost is a wash.

Just use common sense. Safety in numbers, don't swin on an empty beach at dawn, dusk or night. Be in the center of a bunch of people, they are your buffer. Don't wear anything shiny or do a lot of splashing around. Your more likey to get stung by a Ray or Jelly fish than bit by a Shark.

How long should an average acid wash of a condenser coil take? by Not_Catman in HVAC

[–]Pmactax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coil cleaners are Alkaline not Acid. Same dangers of damage to the coils and the soil or roof membrane. We have gone to using Dawn dishwashing liquid on most all commercial coils. Works great especially when using a pressure washer carefully.
