@ Laundress...
As it was explained to me,
The unit retains water to help cool the Condensing Coil outside. There is a solid round ring attached to the fan on the outside part of the A/C. This is called the "slinger". It picks up the condensate water that the evaporator has removed from the inside of the room and sprays it over the condensor coil to help remove the heat from the refridgerant.
I too have a Friedrich and it will drip water only when the pan is full on the outside. I was told to leave the plug in for maximum operation. The drain kits are for the Transom Installations or Installations when you don't want the condesate water to be annoying such as dripping on passers by or creating puddles on sidewalks etc.
Hope this helps.
