Abstract:
1. A sanitizing system for air conditioning condensate from an air conditioning system that collects, treats and diverts the condensate for constructive applications, said system comprising: a source of sanitizing vapor to release vapors to sanitize condensate containing algae and disease causing elements; a basket to house the source of sanitizing vapor having a bottom surface with at least one aperture formed therethrough dimensioned to retain the source of sanitizing vapor in said basket; a hollow chamber to house said basket and the source of sanitizing vapor, said hollow chamber including a side wall having an inlet opening and a discharge opening formed therethrough; condensate discharge tubing coupled to the air conditioning system; a fluid flow control operatively coupled between said condensate discharge tubing and said inlet opening such that air conditioning condensate is fed from the source of condensate through said air conditioning condensate discharge tube, said fluid flow control and said inlet opening to the interior of said housing; said fluid flow control adapted to prevent the sanitizing vapors from back flowing to the air conditioning system from which the condensate was derived whereby the condensate is sanitized by the vapors as the condensate moves through said hollow chamber to said discharge opening.
