On top of our air condition was a drainage of the whole building, is it harmful to drop water on top of it?
Cassandra asked:
I mean during rainy season the water from the drainage fall exactly on top of our air condition. Is it bad?

Drain water contains grit and dirt so it will slowly degrade your a/c metal casing. Over time you will increase corrosion due to the action of the dirt which can become abraisive. You see the fall of water by gravity will act like a pounding hammer on your a/c and the dirt will slowly blast the paint and expose the metal. Your a/c compressor will be at risk of damage by water corrosion. Try to deflect the water by instally a shield above the ac unit. Talk to your building manager, such a drain is a building code violation.
