  1. Hi All ~ Let me echo the thanks others have expressed -- this site is the ONLY comprehensive place I've seen to learn about these Apollo systems. I'm a single lady in a jam: 2 months ago, began renting a nice condo. Now its Apollo air handler's dripping like crazy (it's probably about 10 yrs old), with water seeping along the floor from the hall closet where it's installed to the edge of an adjacent CARPETED area. Neither owner nor realty co. are in any hurry to fix (read: realty co. says it's owner's issue -- owner says can send a relative of his by in about a MONTH to check it out...) I'm worried there's going to be a terrible mold issue (if there isn't already, with that carpet) if I don't do ANYTHING while they play chicken about who's paying for this up-front. I'd really just like to do some basic troubleshooting before spending any more $$$ (and maybe legal fight later) than I have to... It's a vertical upflow hydroheat unit. I'd like to be sure I've found all the filters to change, maybe try flushing the drain/condensate line to remove blockage/algae if I can -- BUT I can't tell what/where everything is : ( I've untaped the panels, but can't see if there's a drain pan -- not sure what pipes are what (the installation looks, to me, LITERALLY twisted) and am not sure what to do next. I've got some no-rinse coil cleaner, heavy-duty rubber gloves, a face mask, a wet-dry vac, basic tools, and I'm not afraid of getting dirty... There's a green flat cap (about 4" wide) in the ground outside by my compressor. Is that where my drain line comes out?? (Sorry if this is all stupid sounding -- I'm on my own here, just really don't want to mess anything up.) Looking at 100 degrees in NC this weekend, and trying not to run the AC so there's less leaking. Any advice, much appreciated! Thanks, Kim
