Dogs are all female: no peeing on unit. I hose it down every

Condensing unit fins near ground level turning grey/white with
some kind of corrosion. Doesn't look nice, couldn't improve
heat dissipation.

Spray the corrosion with some kind of preserving lubricant?



I think it's oxidation of the metal, probably aluminum. Don't really know
if you need to be concerned about it interfering with the operation
especially if it's on just a couple rows of fins.


If you are spraying with hard water - STOP!
it is probably deposits from the hard water.
Only use soft water.

Nooooooo problem.

I'll start building the still in the back yard tomorrow.

Run it half-time for the soft water to clean the CU. Other
half for that "Good Cohn Likker".

Kill 2 boidies with one stone. Eh?
