    Plugged A/C Drain Line?
    My drain line is leaking out at the air handler on a regular basis. I had my A/C guy install an easy to access feature so I could regularly blow it out but I can't seem to keep up on it any longer and it is dripping after just a day or two.

    The fixture allows me to insert my hose spray nozzle and when I do, it generally blows a little slime out and then the water flows freely. Why would it be dripping if the water is flowing with the hose?

    I have even put acid into the line to try and clean it, that didn't seem to help.

    Thanks

    Try sucking it out next time with a shop vac/if there is a clump of something pluging the hole, all you are doing is blowing it out and its making its way right back again in a few days
