Water Engineering


It took more parts than I thought it would need to make the connector to shuffle water from the air conditioner drain to the water barrel. The pipe was 1/2", but it needed to expand to 3/4" to then connect to a threaded part that would hold the connector to hold the hose. Once it was assembled, I watched it to see if water would start dripping into the barrel. It didn't. I went under the house and found that, like the part on top that I had needed to fix, the bottom connector had been poorly assembled and was leaking inside the house. I fixed it. It only dribbles into the barrel, but I figure that is 6 to9 gallons a day.
