If it is obstructed, then the water will sit higher in the panand start to rust out anything it contacts. The "professionals" that installed my system forgot to program up most of the energy saving functions. Good thing they left the manuals so I could finish their job. :( When checking out your A/C, don’t forget to check the drain hose from the catch pan.

They are most commonly used on zoned system. They are cheap but can often mask a more serious problem and should not be added until all possible problems have been checked.

My dad ended up building additional ducts into the walls so that they could have a functional central air system that doesn't need to be tended to constantly to prevent freeze up.
