Pan has water
I built my house about 5 yrs ago. I have two units in my attic (one up, one down). I tied my condensates together under one lav, so they are draining fine. My upstairs unit seems to be running pretty constant, it has always ran more of course; but my concern is, now my pan has water in it (the pan is draining, but my concern is it having water in it period). I have always heard when the pan has water there is a problem. What problem is that and how can it be fixed?
I appreciate any advice..
Condensate drainline from main pan could be plugged causing overflow into secondary pan. I have had to go up in commercial attic space and blow out blocked up lines upstream and downsteam (in other words, blowing back in through the pan hole, and then blowing the other way to blow freely down the drain) to stop this filling of secondary pan, which then overflows it’s sides, spilling down into ceiling, already. Now that you mention this, I should probably make my visit and check that place out again.
Oh. And they never put a drain hole/line-to-drain, in the secondary pan! I guess they want you to find it spilling over, so you can fix it right, and cut down on the slimey/ possibly mouldy disease producing growth up in that primary pan.
