Anyone run awc waste line out the house?

Hey fellow reefers

Trying to run my awc waste line out of an unused wall a.c unit in my house as this is the only option. Anyone done this before is the line just going to freeze in the winter?

Re thinking this as a stupid idea that is just going to freeze hmmm

I have mine going to an old drywall. The part that is exposed to the atmosphere (couple of feet) I put a 3 inch pipe around it and spray foamed the void. Only time it froze was during a extreme cold snap, dying that time I just had it go into a bucket.

If it's a proper A/C drain it might have a trap to hold water and this would absolutely freeze. If there is no trap, and your drain doesn't hold water I think would work as the waste water is warm and should drain out just fine as long as you have no low saggy runs that would hold water. If you have good pitch go for it, I think you'd be fine.

It's just and old ac that was built into house we have since upgraded to central. And have not got around to removing and patching the house. I would only be utilizing this because it's currently a hole in my house next to my tank.

That's what I do as well. Even easier as I moved my washer and dryer to the main floor and I use the hot and cold lines and T them into one line with the hot water slightly on so it's warmer and the RODI system is more efficient!

Same. Two AWC tank drains and the RODI as well.
