Default New Condensate Pump, add one of those ammonia hocky puck things you use in toilet tanks?

Skip the hockey puck. Condensate pumps run fine for years withotu them.

What does the manual that came with it say? My guess is two or three drops
of bleach twice a year. But that's just a guess.


Oh..here we go..the NYC HVAC wannabe with a guess..


You would be wrong Chris.

What the OP needs to do is simply get a bottle of the anti bac tabs that he
can get for under $12 from a supply center that will sell to him and add one
every 3 months during the cooling season, and maybe one during the winter
months if hes got a condensing furnace..

Do good work.

Would this be a bad idea? I know those ammonia pucks you put in the
toilet tanks muck up the flapper valves in the toilet tanks, so I don't
use them. I had one lying around and I thought placing one in the pump
might be a good way to kill any mold or bacteria when I install a new
condensate pump for the dehumidifier attached to our furnice. Of
course it could also ruin a brand new pump very quickly, but not sure
if the pumps have any sensitive rubber or other stuff that the
chemicals would ruin.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
