NSFW: Super Post Whore Thread v2.0

[Whistler]

Seems obvious but one thing I didn't think about mini-splits in a multi zoned installation, a three zone for example, has one compressor unit outdoors that services all three inside units. All three need to be in a compatible mode or they conflict.
An extreme example would be if one is in Heat and one in Cool, the outdoor component can only perform one of those functions at a time. What mine does is sort of a round robin, if they're in the same mode it works like you'd expect, servicing all three simultaneously.

On the self contained units, some have a small pump w/ float valve to pump the condensate out available as an option. Not too difficult to rig one up from parts if you're even slightly handy.

Wut?? It that ^^ is true, it blows my understanding of mini-splits all to hell.

I have two mini-splits, one is a three zone, the other is a single zone. The "high wall" units on the multizone display a 'CF' code (conflict) if one calls for heat and one of the others calls for cooling at the same time. It will pick one then switch to the other back and forth until the conflict is resolved.
It's rare that that would happen but the guest room was cold and Mrs Whistler raised the temp in there. Both units were in "auto" but were responding to different imperatives.

Okay, I believe you.
I thought mini splits were a one-trick pony.
Sigh... I've so much to learn. Thanks for your reply.

Heading off... niters all.

It stills works more or less as you'd expect in terms of multiple temperature zones, it just has to switch back and forth. The difference is you notice an error code (CF) on one and it takes it a little longer to effect a large temperature difference.

You can sure do a lot with leftovers
I took some meatloaf cut into slabs and grilled it, quartered a potato with seasoning can of ranch style beans grilled some onions, and grilled some corn on the cob…

Sheeeeesh eating like a king tonight.

One place I lived the HOA had the same restriction, so I got one of these - nothing shows from the outside and you dont even have to take the window screen off.

This one is on Amazon - $279

I thought about a portable A/C for our bedroom. It gets really warm during the day, and it's the room farthest from the A/C unit and thermostat. We went with a cooling fan instead. Rigging the window for the A/C exhaust was going to let more outside hot air inside, making it a losing battle. I also use the frozen gel packs and refrigerated water in the water tank at night, Gets the room quite comfortable.
