If the pi is clean, that condensation might as well be distilled, won't bother it a bit. The key is what we used to call lox clean though.

I chopped up and installed half of it, then drilled about 25 holes in a tree stump that needs to go, and gave them a filling squirt of stump rotter powder, activated with the next rain in todays forecast. By then a PETA T-shirt was welded to my back. PETA around here stands for People Eating Tasty Animals. :) Theres at least another "yard" of what passes for dirt there, so I can, if I last long enough running a mexican backhoe, level quite a bit of my yards "potholes".
