About 2-3 years ago the line clogged and I didn’t catch it for a while and we had some serious water damage. It just clogged again and I caught it pretty quick but it could have been bad.
Shop vac solves the immediate problem but I’d like a more permanent solution. Any ideas?
The clog is “gunk” but I’m not sure what is actually causing it.
When I hit it with the shop vac I can hear it clearing a blockage of MISC gunk.
“Gunk” is probably a combination of algae sludge plus any captured lint from the ventilation. Not much to do about the algae other than blast it with a disinfectant like bleach once in a while.
How’s the incoming air filtration into the unit? Is it sealed reasonably well at the filter?
Pretty good other than I could probably be a little more diligent with my filter changes. I do it monthly(ish)
Ah yeah, then a little bleach when you do your monthly maintenance will probably help that drain out a lot.
