One of those portable freestanding ac units? Someone’s making it too hot and steamy at your place!

My parents thought of a solution to that problem when they bought an old AC years ago. Cut a hosepipe, attach a nossle that fits the AC and put the other end of hosepipe into empty milk container. Would have to empty it 1-3 times a day.

You're supposed to leave the water in the pan (assuming window unit), as that helps with the efficiency (water being sprayed onto the condenser by the fan behind it)

Free water?! 👀

look around it, there might be a spot you can attach a hose to. its what i did for mine and it goes straight to a drain.

Just keep it open and accept the floor puddle

Yeah same. I engineered a length of hose from the output into a 5 gallon bucket, and I have to empty it at least twice a day.

Can you use one of those inexpensive fluid transfer pumps that's just a wand and a hose? They're not very expensive at all

Get a condensate pump, AC drain hose into pump, hose from pump out the window.

If it's a mobile unit, my solution to that was to put the unit on top of one of those cheap Ikea Lack tables. Luckily my newer one doesn't need to be manually emptied anymore.

I'm not apologizing for using your country as a paw rest. 🧡

Strong critter

Oh, I have an easy fix for this (compared to installing an aquarium pump or something hardwired with a float switch and so on) Milescraft DrillPump750. It's a little water transfer pump you can operate with any power drill. Means you won't have to lift or tilt the unit!

This.

Just drink the water. Its full of air nutrients
