That could be why people in FL often find garden snakes and other lizards in their houses, it’s a good way for them to enter.

Condensate drains in Florida normally drain outside. Draining condensate into the sewer is not to building code in most counties.

What about blowing out the guk with CO2 cartridges? Since many drains tie into a household drain going into a sewer.

I do prefer them inside whenever possible. I think that I’ll put the new one inside when I replace my air conditioner.

Yes, my line set and condensate drain is under ground. I haven’t had any corrosion problem yet. However, I do plan to soon replace my line set when I replace my air conditioner. I’ll run the new one above ground.

Your refrigerant and condensate lines are buried in the ground? Or am I just seeing things? If so, have you ever had a corrosion problem with the copper being buried like that?

you would of loved the drain i saw on one unit. it was a horizontal in a crawler, and they ran the drain line in the ports for a vertical set up. water stain all over. and the humidifier drain tube ran down, flat on the dirt, then up hill to the pump.
