My drain line from my air conditioner keeps clogging with white stuff(fungus?)How can I keep it from clogging?

Answer 1

Some organisms can actually develop a resistance to beach. Use bleach one month and household ammonia the next. A tee can be installed in your drain line (after it is cleaned out) to facilitate pouring in the treatment.

Answer 2

USA Beside the cleaning methods offered, make sure the drain can properly and quickly drain. If water sits in the pipe, that will cause the problems. Arrange the drain pipe to have as much downward pitch as possible. The faster the water drains, the cleaner the pipe stays.

Answer 3

It is a fungus/bacteria. using bleach should kill it. If it is a fixed (whole house) unit, pour some bleach down the drain at the drain opening in the drainpan. You may want to try adding a bit more pitch to the line, but not enough to make the trap inoperable.

Answer 4

Pour 1/4 cup bleach in your drain line monthly.

Answer 5

You know what I would do?...Im not an expert but I would unplug it first.....then I would clean the filters really good....then I would take it out of the window and take it to the sidewalk and get a water hose and spray it all down really good....and then let dry in sun and then when dry put it back in window and see from there.....but if still does it then to me...it sounds like you just somehow need to get a new one. good luck to ya.

Answer 6

Is the drain line removable? If it is you might clean it with
bleach and see if that does the job.

Answer 7

algae, hot water or bleach
