Coil Question - Liquid still in coil

Post by Boots »

First off, thanks to everyone for your helpful advice. I was cleaning my coil today, and testing the condenser bucket for leaks (none at all), and I noticed that when I ran some water thru the coil (to wash out the vinegar), it came out in a nice stream, but if I tilted the bucket over a few inches, some drops of water still came out. Not even a trickle, just like the drops from a leaky faucet. I believe based on what I've read so far that this is acceptable, and will not cause pressure build up or indicate a low spot in the coil, but I just wanted to double-check.
Thanks
