Can someone in the civil engineering world please explain to me why my air conditioner / heat pump condensate drain pipe empties into my laundry room? A room which, so far as I can tell, does not have a floor drain. And, to be specific, it empties from the ceiling, onto the top of my stacked washer/dryer unit? You know, items that have 440V of electricity coursing through them on a regular basis?
I only ask, because the industrial engineer in me sees this and thinks, “Good fraking lord, that is just MASSIVELY stupid.” I could be wrong…









I shouldn’t be laughing but, damn, that is funny.
In retrospect, it is more than a little amusing, just from the sheer stupidity of design. At the time, though, I was more in the “Holy crap, is this thing going to catch fire?” mode.
