The pool level was fairly low so I ran water in it during the entire service call.
3/6/23: The humidity is high 65%, so I move the thermostat down to 78° hoping to mitigate is high humidity. That’s where I would suggest to be kept at a maximum based on the temperature outside and the future weather forecast. I waited until the system had been running for five minutes and then I checked the temperature coming from the supply vents each that I checked were at least 65° or lower, which means the system is cooling and should pull the humidity from the air. By the time I left, the humidity had already drop 3%. Note on electrical panel, did not open. Water heater off at switch in the utility closet. Water in the tray of the water heater and water alarm box was sounding off. I pulled the water sensor alarm out of the water tray to stop the alarm. I turned the water main on and NO additional water bled into the tray, photo below. I turned the water main OFF so no additional leaking should occur with exception of the gallons within the water heater. Water in this tray is NOT normal so I phoned the client but could not reach her so I left a detailed message and texted the photo of the water in the tray.
