Joel, I have a condensate overflow pan under my computer room air conditioner that collects water if it leaks. I also have an alarm that alerts me if there's a leak and careful maintenance to prevent it from leaking in the first place. But I still have the pan. Even though a leak could fill the pan and overflow, I insist on having a pan there to try to catch the water. How many guesses do you need to figure out why? Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
