I have a single unit, one air handler, one outside heat pump, with a large condensation drip tray below the air handler. Presently there is about an inch of water in the drip tray. The air handler has two PVC pipe matrices going into it, one bends around and dips into the pan water, the other is presumably the outlet which flows to a waste line on the outside of the house.
Twice this week, my Heat pump has shut off while the fans kept running, and it seems to be because of the water level in the drip pan triggering the float switch. When I manually lower the float switch the heat pump turns back on.
My question is, how should that intake PVC look with respect to the water level? The PVC is not cemented, so I can turn and angle it. At first it was a series of 90 degree bends that left the final inlet sitting opening-up in the water, and there was a piece of threaded PVC coupling just placed inside of the open PVC 90' coupling. Is this correct? It seems like it was above the water level that would trigger the float switch, which may be why it was turning off the heat pump.
Any ideas or links to a correct installation? I can post some photos if you want.
