i hope u r not ac tech u dont even no what u doing here

The picture looks like a Moblie home unit, the coil is above the heating high voltage elements and blower, it needs a really big trap because its a high static or pressure blower!! (my money is on a coleman unit), they should keep a deep P trap inside and cut in a tee above it for cleaning like in your video, I have seen outdoor p traps freeze when they are deep because the water dosent evap. before winter! But it depends on your climate!!

@ibunregistered Yes, but it will refill quickly.

If you vacuum the trap dry, won't it will suck cold air into the system or blow hot air out whenever the air handler runs for heat?

And Also Electrical....
Okay so you are an angel.........we had a leak in the AC closet and thankfully l picked up on this due to my accute hearing. I was driving my husband nuts telling him that l could hear this dripping in the AC unit. Not to give up on anything l came on here and found your video....wow you should have seen the pipe gush after l cleared the outside of it. Thanks for saving us a fortune...maybe my husband will thank us both some day....me for my determination and you for video.
