My AC drain gets clogged every so often. Any trips for a more permanent fix? (lemmy.world)

About 2-3 years ago the line clogged and I didn’t catch it for a while and we had some serious water damage. It just clogged again and I caught it pretty quick but it could have been bad.

Shop vac solves the immediate problem but I’d like a more permanent solution. Any ideas?

There is an opening… I might start this. Change the filters and feed it some bleach

My AC guy said that it prevents the sludge that’s trying to grow in the drain, from blocking it. Set a calendar reminder and do it once a month.

Just a little, like half a cap, is all you need.
