yes spraying water on the coil could make you use more water than
necessary. I was agreeing with you that evaporatively cooling the
ambient air would improve the condenser performance, just using the
lawn sprinkler as an example.

I have a salt corrosion problem here, all aluminum spinefin is the
best, inherently superior to any type of corrosion protection coating
applied to a copper tube, aluminum fin coil.

If they wash uncoated aluminum fin/copper tube coils frequently they
last longer.
