House has a Heat Pump with outside unit.This year seems to be putting a lot more water out of drain than last year .Usage is about the same.Should the unit be level or sloped.Drain is on left hand side.Thanks

If it the large size mitsubishi outdoor, it is imporant for right end not be low, or it will rust out quickly. They have a stupid weaving drainage path under fan, the around compressor, and the compressor insulation often sits down on drain tray, meaning it absorbs water, then sits forever wet, and will rust out tray(seen many) and even thru compressor's body(seen 2 do it). Personally i drill for a second outlet fitting in right rear corner of tray, and make sure insulation is sitting high enough. Lots of water is normal in high relative humidity, and defrost's are more often too,(if below 5-7deg). As temperature drops below zero, most moisture will have settled out of air, so defrost and water output can be less.
Assume we talking about outdoor units drain, as indoor unit drain only has moisture when unit is on COOLING.

My drain is no where the compressor, comes down the wall to the concrete pad and drains into the garden.

We have 2 Mitsi Heatpumps and the drain is nowhere near the outside unit, in fact they both ended up in one hose to drain away into the garden

Just high humidity . shows its working wellif its indoor unit .If Outdoors its probably colder this year & defrosting more . Once ambient is below 0 more it defrosts .
