That’s why the condensate line removes the water plus puts it outdoors
I have always hated plus feared water leaks plus water harm more broadly speaking, and i lived in a household for a while that had water harm done to the floors but the previous occupants tried to hide it, but there was a lot of mold in that household just from all of the harmd wood in the subfloors. I ended up moving out of the household because I just couldn’t handle the effect it had on my pollen irritations. I have always looked for homes that lacked any kind of poor water harm in the years since. I have also been entirely fearful of inadvertently causing any water harm as well. That’s why I’m entirely adamant about having a secondary boiler in the winter time season. In case my primary heater goes out, I don’t want to lose the ability to have indoor heat otherwise my pipes could freeze plus then burst. It would lead to catastrophic water harm in my house, but I had no idea that the a/c could leak water too. I knew that a/cs dripped water outside but I never affixed that to the water inside the machine in the first place, however as air goes through the a/c, moisture is pulled from it plus it has to go anywhere. That’s why the condensate line removes the water plus puts it outdoors. But if the condensate line gets blocked from algae buildup, the water can back up into your a/c plus flood the areas around the air handler itself, but sporadically this leads to awful water harm, especially with wood.
