Hi, I am reading responses, but not responding to all. Yesterday, after flushing the line, I went in our bathroom off our room and it smelled strongly of bleach. And We hadn't used the bleach in there that day, so this sounds like what is going on. It has to be draining into that bathroom. This is so interesting. ----- Original Message ----- From: allen dunbar To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 10:03 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] A C drains
in the house my wife owned before we married and the home I owned before the drain line runs to the drain in the nearest sink in this house we have to go to the mouth of the line and pour a cup of bleach in the hose to prevent it clogging up every couple of months as the mold and trash that are flushed in the condensation will clog it up over time the bleach keeps the line clear I hope this helps cheers Allen Dunbar ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy Podsim To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 4:11 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] A C drains I'd say that it's draining into your septic line.

We've only been in this house for 5 years or so and we had it built. Our previous home was probably built in the 30's or 40's and the drain on it's AC went down and under the house, was peer and beam, and the unit was on the main floor not in attick. But it's drain was simple to find, ended in a pvc pipe poking out of the side of the house and it had a little bit of garden hose hangging down. The one on this house, I have yet to find an end too. The main unit is in addick as I said, and I tried following the PVC heading out of it and it ends in this mess of twisting turning pvc, which also has a pipe going strait up, assumably through the roof into a vent stack. Can anyone tell me what the modern thing is to do with these drains? Is it emptying into a pipe somewhere, and not out on the ground like in the old house? The people who bought the old house asked that we run the a c drain into a suer drain before we left. Well, their finance company required it. Everyone I told about that, thought it strange, including the man who built this house, so I assumed that wasn't common practis. Just curious.
