    *So amazingly quiet and **Fastly.Cool** in my room! 42db is at a whisper level. I bought 2 and installed myself.Very sturdy bracket and easy to adjust to fit windows of different size. Absolutely fabulous units!!*

    Simple to install simple to operate works great and very attractive

    Cotton rope or a wick for an oil lamp will work also. Ultimately, the unit needs cleaning but I am in Florida and it is still too hot to tackle this job. This temporary fix does the job for now.

    Since this guy is obviously not going to answer the question.
    The AC-Safe Pan Tablets (6-Pack) are a convenient, no-mess way to clean condensate drain pans and keep them clean for up to 6 weeks. The non-corrosive and non-toxic formula gets rid of odors in air conditioners, refrigerators, dehumidifiers and humidifiers.

      I apologize for my absence. At one point I thought my channel was dying out and I lost interest. Frankly, I was very surprised to see that my channel has generated new interest and views. I will be posting new videos about repairs and property investments. THANK YOU!!!!!

    So u got to wait a week or two??? My wall will mildew or mold by then. I need to find another way.

    • @FixItPhiltv

      You may need to pull the coils and clean them, this more than the average owner can handle I recommend a Licensed AC contractor . I would use mold control like Concrobium if you have mold.

    Hi 😊 Phill I have a question can you still run the ac after words or do you have to wait the two weeks before starting it ?

    @horaciolinares8597 Рік тому

    Wow that ac unit is quite tilted outside downward and still water coming inside? I think a pill may help but waiting another 2 weeks can do more damage inside than just taking the time to pull ac outside and clear that drain hole. Or better yet with care drill a hole to make flow better

    • @madexmadrick3838
      @madexmadrick3838 2 роки тому +3

      They absorb water and expand

    • @firstfromabove
      @firstfromabove 2 роки тому

      This is just how scummy landlords fix it without actually fixing anything. This will work until the "pill" absorbs as much water as it can, then it'll leak again.

    you seem like a nice guy but you can just pull out that black plug in the back and at the angle it is tilted it cant get inside with it not overflowing outside

    @missysequichie9311 Рік тому

    Are the pills to evaporate the water? Or does does It flush out a possible clogged drain hose? Or does it do a temporary fix?..it might work for a little while..but with all due respect Phil..a little hard work wouldn't hurt none..after all rent these days is rediculus..you could afford to get it serviced...

    He comes back to the comments twice... Ignores the obvious request to explain what these pills do, how they work... but answers two questions about where to buy and how many pills to use... Seriously?? How does it not occur to this guy that we want to know how it works? ... Some people simply don't belong on UA-cam.

      @@FixItPhiltv your numbers and views don't mean much when you do scummy "fixes" like this on a tenant's house which just make the problem disappear for a couple weeks. This is lazy, cheap and deceptive. Yet you wanna brag about all of the people falling for this?

    If you need addition help with leaks in your AC window unit, I have another tutorial video that demonstrates a complete cleaning of the unit, most leaks are caused by sludge. Clink on the link at :46 in this video and it will take you to “How to Clean Your Window Air Conditioner”.

    Many people have asked in the comments how these pills work, or what do they do, and you haven't answered the question. You answered about where to get the pills, and how many to use.
    And when someone suggested you didn't belong on You Tube, because making this video and not giving the basic into, even after everyone asks about it, you answer about why you belong on You Tube and still didn't give the info.... I don't think i would want to buy one of the places you fix and flip...
