Default Wet vac is your answer

We noticed the issue because water was dripping down the wall under the mini split unit. Water did pool on the floor behind and beyond a piece of furniture in that location and that's how we saw it. There was no gushing water, to be clear. To that end, there were no refrigerant leaks. This particular copper tubing carries water. From what I understand about that is it's more of a drip that carries the condensation from the unit through the attic, then outside the house through a copper tube that we can clearly see located by the compressor (I think they call it?). While we still have to pay, Kalos did adjust the fees.
A simple wet vac would have solved your problem happens a lot over time..
