Minisplit Cleaning

[mobiledynamics]

Not sure about ya'll but I put pan treat in my indoor evap. on our minisplits monthly.

The one I have cooling the garage, it tends to be really humid...and what I've noticed compared to the other mini-splits in other rooms, when not in use, the water in the drain pan lets' stuff grow....and I will notice black spots behind the *well* of the blower wheel housing. So yearly, I do breakdown the indoor unit for the garage, take out the blower wheel, etc, and give everything a good good clean just to get rid of the ~spores~

is it normal to be having water in the drain pan standing?

When you are done using it set the cooling to highest setting, and set timer to turn off in 3-4 hours, fan mode to dry the coil. Just shutting it off traps the moisture in the coil
and promotes mold growth inside.

You should keep this unit on all the time and not in quiet mode if that feature exist on your controller. Also keep the fan on all the time. Your drain pan shouldn’t have water sitting in it. The water should always naturally head to the drain and out the unit. What temps do you keep the space at. Too cold also creates mold issues. If your blower wheels sweat from too cold air that’s a problem
