How much water should a unit produce? I checked all my hoses comming from the thru hulls and the pump to the ac. I have about a gallon an hour entering from my ac unit.

Any suggestions that I may have overlooked.

Thank you

Hmmm….I'm guessing about 250 times more than what you have now…

Marine A/C needs 250 GPH per ton (12,000 BTU)

Steve, i think he is talking about condensation water being sent to the bilge? i think he's got a lot of water in the bilge and is trying to figure out where it's coming from?

The amount of condensate any given a/c system will produce is directly related to how much humidity in the air is there to remove…

In a sealed space…The longer that a/c runs, the more humidity it removes…It will be making more water at the beginning of it's run, and less at the end because it has removed most of what is there…

A leaky space or opening doors affects this also…If you have as much moisture leaking in as the a/c can remove…Then the production rate is pretty stable…Also a over sized system might cycle on temperature before it has had a chance to remove much humidity (uncomfortable situation)

Really there is no simple answer to that question because of all the variables….
