Thanks.

For an AC, the normal case is another drain leading outside. If you see it
dripping when you mow the law, raise the alarm.

Aside:
I recently added a pipe with a cap on it to the evaporator unit. My plan is
to dump a cup or so of bleach in there once a year to bother the algae and
moss and fungus and whatever else grows there that stops up the drain.


There is an overflow PVC pipe but the tray has to fill up with several
gallons of water before it starts to drip on the deck. The main A/C
drain gets clogged up and I flush out the debris with a garden hose
twice a year. I found that bleach may help, but it still requires
flushing. I want to avoid water damage.
