there is 1 problem if you use bleach, there is a protective coating on the evaporator core to stop corrosion since it is made of aluminum, just a little bleach will cause that coating to break down and before you know it, your evaporator is leaking, if you are worried about algae build up turn the heater on for awhile to dry it out, that is if you are talking about automotive a/c. I personaly have never come acrossed one that had algae build up on it, and i have worked on auto a/c systems since the 70's

Not at all. Just make sure you rinse it out well when youre done. Otherwise you will have the overpowering smell of bleach everytime you turn on the a/c. The box is an air exchanger so whatever is in there gets blown into the vehicle whenever the fan is running.

Assuming you are talking about residential Air Conditioning (DX) and you are referring to the outside of the evap coil, you cannot add anything to the inside of your evap coil other than refrigerant and/or refer oil. On the other hand, if you are talking about outside the coil (fins), then I suppose you can use bleach. You must have had a very dirty coil plus high condensation to have algae growing.

Probably not,but they do sell a product that will clean algae.
If you do use bleach,dilute it.Use a spray bottle w/bleach & water.Be careful of residual smell.
