AC Unit

On a side note. I am also experimenting with water misters around the AC units for extra "evaporative" cooling. From everything I have read it can help reduce head pressure which in turn reduces the load on the unit.

MORE to come on this little experiment....

Additional research on the concept can be found on sites like this:

Or just do some Google searches on 'AC Precooling' or 'AC Misting'.

Few things you will find. Misting is only effective when the temp is high enough and the humidity is low enough. BOTH must happen to allow evaporation to create a cooling effect.

Also, a water filter on the line (which I have not done yet) to prevent scaling on the unit from the tap water...

I plan on incorporating a booster pump along with a water filter.

Again, more to come on the project as a whole...
