Only thing I might add is to use 45 degree bend fittings instead of 90 degree fittings. Water flows better when it doesn't have to make a lot of sharp turns like that.

I have been eyeing a wet/soggy spot under my ac pipe for MONTHS trying to come up with something that would prevent this from getting worse. This video was amazing, and makes this project look doable and not overwhelming. Thank you so much!! I’ll be trying this and crediting you both! 🫶🏾

Hi Ladies, love your videos... This is interesting and makes me wonder where the heck is my condensation going? Now I'm going to have to investigate LoL... Thank You 😎✌

I am filling up a bucket every 2 hours!! Is this normal?? Where can I reroute it?

This condensation line is for both heat and AC, anytime the furnace creates condensation. With that said, I need to be mindful in the winter months as my actual HVAC company used tubing, not PVC and it froze here in Oregon in the winter. Now I have the problem you guys originally had, and the PVC it’s been switched to is not letting it drain properly, it’s too close to the house and creating moss. With the extended run of PVC you’ve used with the splash pad, it won’t freeze?

I would have thought this should go into a storm water drain. It's still too close to the house.

Hi! Just noticed I had this problem too. Do you have the problem that the water is making the yard all muddy? I’m not sure what to do!

[holyarmageddon]

Is it not still draining next the the house?

I couldn't find what type weed block fabric you used. That looks like really good stuff, but not what we see locally.

I've noticed alot of water and it looks like wood ne t to the foundation.
