    Do I need the water main on for the AC to run?
    I have a leak and have to turn off my water main for the night. Can I run my AC while the water main is turned off?

    Thank you.

    Is this a regular air cooled condenser or a swamp cooler? If this is a home or Apt, water plays no part in the cooling process unless it is an evaporative type. Where are you located?

    We're in Illinois. It's just a regular home unit. AC ran just fine all last night without the water on. Thanks for your input!

    There is no connection to the water supply. You do get water out from you're a coil as it removes humidity from the air, maybe that's why you thought there was a water connection. Glad we could help.
