[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3605096, member: 6777"] Something to watch out for is ants. 2 units at my parents place quit and the ac guy found the contactors were full of ants. Shooter, on a well plumbed drain pipe, where the pvc comes out of the A-coil the pvc should have a piece sticking up 2-3 inches with a cap or plug. you can undo that and blast it out with an air hose and then place a funnel there and pour a cup or so of bleach in. The bleach will kill the algae that grows in the pipe. also you can run a 20 ft flimsy drain snake thru it each way. I've had some really plugged up ones over the years. they get full of bugs and other creatures in the off season. [/QUOTE]
