Vinegar? Bleach? Confused???
The safest and effective way to do homeowner maintenance on your drain line here in south Florida is to install a pan treatment, as described above. With the pan treatment installed, you'll constantly have specially designed chemicals circulating through your drain line, killing the bacteria that grows and clogs your drain line. Since the pan treatment contains the chemicals and treats the drain line over the course of about 6 months, your role becomes slowly pouring about a gallon of tap hot water once a month, if possible, and when your system is off.

I can't find my exterior drain line.
Look in and around your bushes. Keep in mind your drain line may not be near your outside AC unit.
