I picked my three year old up today. All the children were outside playing with water from a bucket. I said "Where is the hose?". The owner told me it's excess water from the air conditioner and they play in it all the time. :*( Should I take my daughter to the doctor?

We have one of these AC units. The water is condensation that drips out of the house through a small tube. It isn't an issue, but the water usually has a little oil residue from going through the machine. I personally have it collect in a bucket and dump it on my potted rose in the front yard. I would not want kids playing in it just because I don't like open water around children. That is why we have it go out the front of our house, not the backyard where my daughter plays.

Well yes, I do feel that this is a cause of concern. Some time back I read that the water leaking out of the air conditioners are harmful for children as they have been through a machine and contains oils that can cause allergies to children. Using the water for garden is a different matter. But since children are already very susceptible to infections, I think it would be a better idea to get a check up from a doctor. I wouldn't like my son to be playing in water that is leaking from an air conditioner!
