  • Patent number: 9352986
    Abstract: In or in combination with an evaporative air conditioner system having no external water source delivering water to the air handler unit, the invention is a drain pan treatment apparatus utilizing recycled condensate water to create a chemical solution that is delivered into the drain pan to prevent growth of algae and other microorganisms that may clog the drain port or drain conduit. The drain pan treatment apparatus comprises a diverter connector that directs a small amount of condensate water from the drain conduit or drain pump into a chemical canister containing a soluble solid chemical to create a chemical solution. The chemical solution is then delivered into the drain pan. If the air conditioner system does not include a drain pump, then a drain pump is added to deliver the condensate water to the chemical canister.
