air conditioner condensate drain
- Question
- Hello, we are planning to install air conditioning in our apartment (recommended in case of high temperatures because we live in Corsica).
The installer offers us to evacuate the condensate of the 5 devices in the bowl of our toilet ... Is there a risk of bacterial contamination (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa) because it is the water that will be used for toilet flush.
Thank you for your answer - Answer
- hello
Thank you for asking this question, requiring a simple answer.
It does not seem at all recommended to connect the condensate water in the toilet bowl because it is stagnant water which can lead to bacterial colonization of (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, legionella pneumophila ....) aerosols.
The condensate drain should be connected to the sewage pipes.
Sincerely
