Contemplating a wet mesh wrap (like MyAcSaver) for my condenser—any real-world stories?

I’ve heard about this idea: soak a mesh sleeve, wrap it around the condenser, then hook it up to the hose—supposedly drops intake air by ~10°F. I’m in the U.S. with highs in the mid-90s, thinking of testing it this summer. • Has anyone done this and actually measured a temperature or runtime reduction? • Did you notice any moisture buildup or corrosion over a few weeks? • Worth spending ~$150 to see if it moves the needle? Looking for honest feedback before I jump in. submitted by /u/platoblok37 [link] [comments]
