    Yes 15 years, because it saves energy by making the system more efficient.

    Window units design the fan to throw the water onto the condenser this evaporates the water AND cools the freon in the condenser coil. Commercial stand up refrigerators often run the condenser line through the condensate pan for the same reason.

    They don’t “spend” energy doing it, they save it.

    Split units and traditional A/C will just drain or pump the water somewhere.

        Also, don’t use evaporated water for your flowers; there are no minerals in pure water and for them it’s like eating wallpaper paste

            Tap water is fine, it definitely has plenty of minerals and elements in it for your plants.

            Evaporated water is pure H2O like distilled water. Same with water from your tumble dryer if you have a condenser type. Not good for plants

              My mother’s garden was watered with rain water. We don’t have acid rain so there’s nearly nothing in that and that garden is quite productive. Plants get all the nutrients they need from well fertilized dirt
