Why does water flow from the air conditioner?

When any air conditioner is running, excess water that is formed when air is draining, but when the liquid appears in the most unexpected places, you should think: something went wrong in the device. After all, the natural moisture from the functioning is poured into special containersand then discharged into the sewer. It is necessary to immediately determine why the air conditioner is dripping in order not to carry out expensive repairs or buy a new split system. Naturally, it is best to turn to a professional, but if the air conditioner flows indoors, then in some situations you can cope on your own.

The reasons for the appearance of water from the air conditioner indoors

There are many reasons that cause the leakage of the split system, so it is worth considering more carefully each of them.

Temperature difference

Sometimes drops from the air conditioner may appear due to the banal temperature difference outside and inside the room. At a low street temperature, the condensate turns into ice, and in the morning it already melts and leaks in the form of droplets. To solve this problem is quite simple: you should warm the sector in which the heat exchanger is located. For such purposes, you can use regular glass wool. After performing insulation work The leakage problem is over.

Incorrect installation of the system or its elements

There may be several options.

1. Sometimes water flows from the air conditioner when it rains. In this case, the reason most likely lies in wrong positioning of the drain hosefor example, the angle of inclination is not respected. This will help the use of instructions and the correct location of all elements.
   

2. As a prevention, you can install a visor over the outer part of the split system. It will protect the hull from falling snow, and even more so the water that will be formed during its melting.
3. Another cause of water entering the room from the device may be improper installation of the external unit. If it is installed without a bevel, then when it rains and snow drops will seep inside the room. It is difficult to fix it on your own, but it’s still worth making a complaint to the craftsmen who were engaged in the installation. If there is no guarantee, then you can try to cover up the gaps around the case in places where water flows, but it is worth remembering that this is not entirely useful for technology. It will be quite difficult to place the block under the desired slope.

Depressurization

Another reason why indoor water drops appeared after some period of use could be loosening of the branch pipes or their depressurization. What to do in this case? You can cope with the problem yourself, for this it is enough to perform the following actions:

• tighten the nuts of the submerged connections carefully;
• coat them with sealant to make the connection more reliable.

It is very important not to overdo it, because with a large force you can break the thread, which will significantly increase the cost of repairs.

Problems with drainage system

In some cases, the air conditioner dripped due to dust clogging filtering systems. Both the tube itself and the opening through which condensate can clog can become clogged. There is nothing wrong here. Today, a huge number of ways to clean this system. Blowing, mechanical cleaning or rinsing with solutions that will contain special chemicals may be used.

Ideally, it is worthwhile to disassemble the entire system in order to clean each of its elements: a pallet, a drain container, a tube. But not everyone will be able to cope with the correct assembly after performing the cleaning, so you should still invite a specialist so that there are no unnecessary parts left.

When without a master it is impossible to cope with the problem

Unfortunately, there are situations that can not be corrected by yourself and the device requires inspection and repair by a professional master. So, if water is dripping from the air conditioner indoors, we cannot exclude breakdown of the drainage pump. Its repair requires special knowledge and equipment.

If overpressure occurs inside the housing, leaks may also occur. They are caused by internal defects that you cannot fix yourself.

In conclusion, I would like to note that a split system, like any technique, requires careful attention to itself. If you monitor the operation of the device and solve small problems in a timely manner, the technician will please its owner with excellent work for a long time.
