<html><div>I have an older heat and cool unit that is designed to take the condensate and splash it on the hot coils to improve heat transfer.</div>
<div>I was recently down in Dallas and a local restaurant had a special zone of their irrigation system dedicated to soaking the outside units of their HVAC system. I asked the manager and he said it was the only way their system could handle the 100+ degree days. </div>
