Default minisplit

I've installed several minsplits. Most minisplits both copper lines are very cold. Usually the liquid line is freezing on it way from the outdoor unit to the evaporator. This would make it difficult to gain anything from a well that would warmer. This also defeats the idea of a heat exchanger between the 2 lines because you would be more likely to gain heat from the suction line before reaching the evaporator. You could aim your drain to drip onto the outdoor coil. The condensate water is usually super cold and over here you might get 3-5 gallons of water a day.
