WATER IN SERVICE HOSE

[deadeye52]

Wondering how different tech's handle condenser service in rainy conditions. Had a customer today needing service, but the rain started coming down and unit had no filter dryer. Told them I would return tomorrow.

i was repairing a system in the rain today.

your worried about hooking up your gauges in the rain?

If trying to fix it in the rain is going to make it worse then it either has to wait or i'd try and set up a sheet to keep the rain off. (i keep a 10ftx12ft plastic sheet in the truck for washing out condenser on stacked units)

I have declined to work in the rain when it was really chucking it down, not always popular but you won't be popular if the system get miosture in it, and i doubt the customer would pay you for any damaged tools or meters....

How is 100+ psi going to suck the water out of the hose? It's not.
I leak checked and added 4 pounds of r22 in the rain today. I'm not worried about a thing. There was some lightning too.
IMO if it's raining and you're not willing to work in it then go home.
