DRAIN LINE Condensation Drain Line (not provided, but required) The condensation drain line tube moves excess condensation from the evaporator unit to a proper discharge location. It is important for the drain line tube to be properly connected in order to prevent leakage and other problems associ- ated with excess condensation.
Provide a weatherproof disconnect for the condensing unit if it is located outside. Power surges and spikes can damage sensitive electrical equipment. CellarCool recommends plugging the unit into a surge protector or power conditioner in order to protect your system. As outlined in our terms and conditions, power surges and spikes are not covered under warranty.
