On a hot and humid day, our A/C pulled out several gallons of water. Pictured is a single day (morning to night) of accumulation. My estimate is 7-12 gallons.

Water from thin air!
After a recent A/C emergency, we had some work done including rerouting our condensation line to go directly out of the house. The water that goes through this line is whatever collects on the coils in our indoor air handler unit. What's neat is that we can pull water directly out of the air just by using our A/C! In an emergency, this could possibly be boiled for drinking water. Or, for the ultimate made-on-site PBJ sandwich, we could distill it and even have our *water* produced locally.
