Your air conditioner drain line is probably clogged because the line is filled with bacterial growth. This growth prevents condensate from flowing through the line. Clogs this bad back up water into the drain pan. The pan is at risk for overflowing, too, unless you have a drain pan float switch to shut off the system if the water level gets too high. This function does not solve the problem of clogged drain lines, though.
The condensate output line clogs when bacteria, algae, fungi, and debris in the condensation made from the unit’s evaporator coils attach to the walls of the condensation output line. The organisms thrive in the line, sometimes growing into full clogs.
Before eDelta invented the eTrapp Condensate Treatment System, homeowners/building owners who were educated about this issue needed to open up the air conditioner’s clogged drain line to pour in a bleach solution. Most homeowners/building owners, however, are not educated about clogged drain lines or how to treat them. Furthermore, a costly HVAC specialist would have to make a service call to clear the line. Again, this service would only fix the clogged line once. Growth reoccurs if it’s not treated properly.
The eTrapp Solution
eTrapp’s patented condensate treatment system removes the need for routine manual treatment.
eTrapp addresses the problem of clogged air conditioner drain lines, not the symptoms. As condensate flows through the eTrapp, an eco-friendly chemical compound constantly treats the water. The compound is non-corrosive on pipes. Additionally, our compound includes gelling technology. Any surviving bacteria can’t attach and grow on the walls on the output pipe.
eTrapp’s other features such as Wi-Fi-enabled system monitoring via the eTrapp App ensure that your condensation is flowing as it should. Clogged air conditioner drain lines can be costly. Unchecked overflowing condensate damages walls, flooring, or ceilings of the home, office, or building.
