My AC drain gets clogged every so often. Any trips for a more permanent fix? (lemmy.world)

About 2-3 years ago the line clogged and I didn’t catch it for a while and we had some serious water damage. It just clogged again and I caught it pretty quick but it could have been bad.

Shop vac solves the immediate problem but I’d like a more permanent solution. Any ideas?

Not exactly a "fix", but a water alarm can ensure an overflow doesn't go unnoticed... but then you've got a battery to remember.

That said, the ones I have under my sink and near my water heater have been running on the original 9v battery for over 8 years now

I actually have one but it’s sitting in the water heater pan 1 foot away… I’ll get a second one right now.
