how do you keep the condonsation from you window unit air condotioner?

Answer 1

The condensation is humidity that has been removed from the air. You don't want to keep it, you want to remove it.

If it does not drain away and out from the unit, examine the unit and see if the drain holes are plugged. If so, clean them out. If the a.c. unit is not tilted properly so the water drains away, change the tilt.

Answer 2

I am trying to anticipate your question although it is a little vague.

If you are truly trying to KEEP the condensation and use it for another purpose, I have in the past (being a licensed contractor of course) extended the condensate line out to a garden area outside a home. Or funneled it out to a watering trough. It is a great use for that water, especially in some instances of water conservation.

Now, if you are trying to keep the condensation from dripping inside the house. Then you simply need to level out the AC unit. Or if it is level, then you might need to inspect the interior pan to see if it might be cracked or damaged. Thus leaking inside the house.
