Also, I poured water in the pan and watched it run out the primary drain, so pitch isn't the issue. I sprayed some coil cleaner, and the fins are shiny now, where they used to be dull. This morning, I opened up the evaporator compartment. I have now changed the air filters back to my usual, and waited a few days. I generally have had to clear the drain every two or 3 years. The extra fittings are so I didn't have to cut and re-glue the pipes when the drain clogged. Air is blowing out of the rightmost hole pretty hard, and seems to be blowing the water out that way, instead of through the main drain line. I couldn't find a model number, but it is about 12-16 years old? It may also be covered by a removable access panel. This is usually located directly under the unit. If you have an indoor air handler in your attic or utility closet, youll need to find the condensate pan. It is a Carrier mounted horizontally in the attic. Turn off the power to your HVAC system at the thermostat and at the breaker. the coils are dirty and so the water is coming from a different place than it used to
the house has shifted and the overflow is no longer high enough to be an overflow I put in higher "quality" filters recently and somehow that has changed the airflow Why is the system draining this way? What can I do about it? If I block the overflow, water comes out the main, but if I put the pipes back on, it goes back to the overflow.īy pipes, I mean the connecting stubs that are a few inches long, so I know they are not blocked.
I can see nothing that is preventing water from reaching the main line. So I disconnected the drains from the AC unit, and water preferred to come out of the overflow, even tho it was higher than the main line. But water was still coming out the overflow. I did my usual dance of cleaning out the main drain line - I made sure the point where it drains into the sewer was clear, put some drain cleaner, waited, poured a gallon of water down it, and then finally blew the line out. If anyone has any idea what could be causing my pool leak I would greatly appreciate your advice.So my AC unit is draining water from the overflow drain again. I have a hunch that my leak has something to do with the overflow line, but I have no idea how that line could be causing a leak. I have to fill up my pool about 2 times per week to keep the water level. My water bill used to be around $80 a month, and ever since Jun 2015 my water bill has jumped to $120 a month and remained there ever since. At first I thought it was due to the heat of the summer, but after doing the bucket test I realized I had a leak. At around this same time in Jun of 2015 I noticed my water level dropping in my pool. During this process they had removed a white PVC pipe protruding out from from the side of the pool near the skimmer basket, which I now presume to be the overflow line. We also have a chlorinator and ionizer installed.Īround May of 2015 we had some contractors come in and sod and land scape our back yard. The pool plumbing area has two return lines, one drain line for the two drains in the bottom of the pool and the skimmer basket line. We have lived in our house for about a year and a half, the in-ground pool was installed by the previous owner and is about 9 years old. Before I begin, I want to caveat that I am very new to pool care and maintenance.
