condensate pump tubing
I remember when we used to put a condensate pump in we ran a 3/8 tubing up until it turn horizontal, then put a loop in it so that the entire line wouldn't dump right back into the pump and cause it to short cycle.
This one I saw today came out of the pump with 18" or so of 3/8 tubing, then was connected to 3/4 pvc that goes up a good 8' and turns.
I thought that was odd, but to make matters worse, about 15' down a nice level line it swings upward.
This means that about 20' or so of 3/4 pvc would be draining right back down because there's no way that little pump is pushing it out.

Do you guys agree?
