Hello All, The condensation drain from my Air Handler was blocked. After digging up the PVC 'periscope' protruding from the ground next to my Heat Pump, I discovered a vertical pipe rise of more than 18-inches. Following removal of this vertical pipe, the water flowed freely. What I'd like to do, is let the water drain from the 18-inch depth down into the ground, rather than the uphill climb to the surface. I've thought of inserting a large diameter pipe or plastic container with drilled drainage holes, into the ground below the drain pipe level. But my previous experiences have resulted in the dirt passing through the holes and filling the container which results in pipe blockage. Even when I fill the container with rocks. Does anyone have suggestions how I can accomplish this without the dirt falling down and blocking the water flow? Thanks for taking the time to read my message. Tom

After it was running for a while today, my SRL8 refrigerant detector died and will not turn back on now. I tried plugging it into the AC wall plug charger but the red light that usually comes on and starts blinking to indicate that it's charging doesn't even come on. I've tried pressing and holding the off/on button a number of times since but have had no luck so far. Could it possibly be the battery is so dead that the charger just wont charge it anymore? Anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this?
