Having a party with my AC AT MIDNIGHT

[aviator]

Wake up to go pee and hear water dripping, WTF? Go open the AC closet and the pan has a lot of water, shit I to got all the water out and I stuck my finger on the drain pipe and it’s full of water, so go out to the side of the house, unwind about 100’ of hose, bring the end into the house and flush the drain, of course a brand new filter got ruined so go to the garage and get a new one, replace it and dry everything out. Can’t fall sleep now, wife was 30’ away never even heard a thing. A fun night and there was no alcohol or sex involved.

Mine has a long run and drains on to the rear of the house on the grass area but as much as it runs down here it gets this slime that clogs the p trap at the end and needs to be flushed about once a year, but I wish it would have clogged at a different time.. Sometimes I pour Chlorine down the pipe but haven’t done it in a while.

First world problems.

Here I sit with over a foot of snow outside and more on the way. If my furnace quits working, I strike a match and light the wood stove.

I pour a cup of vinegar into the a/c drain access several times a year to prevent clogging. I was using bleach but my a/c guy told me to use vinegar. It works.

I seldom ude my AC. When the temperaturw gets up in the 90s and no breeze I'll turn it on.

But it's heating time now. Perfect weather.

I'll try that. I keep a small funnel next to the airhandler just for that purpose.

Vinegar the magic liquid. I use it to get rid of rust on metal parts on the old jeep were restoring. Put the metal part in a container of vinegar soak for a few days and the part will come out looking brand new. Paint companies are all coming out with primers that mix with and prevent rust give it a coat of that primer and no harsh chemicals and your done.

Galvanized metals?

White vinegar is effective and non-toxic which is much safer to use rather than an industrial solvent. All you need to do is apply the vinegar on a clean rag and then simply wipe down the galvanized surface. The great thing about vinegar is that it has an acidity that will react with the metal, promoting pain adhesion.
