That s not the drip pan, to the emergency pan. It only get wiser when something else is wrong. Either you have a leak in the primary pan or you have a clogged condensate drain line.

If you have a wet vac you can try to suck the trap clean. Depending on what is in the trap you may need to cut it out and build another if it won't blow out or suck clean. As others have stated pour bleach into it every somoften to keep it clean.

As mentioned earlier you can use a shop vac. Find where the drainpipe comes out of the house and shop vac the line from there. Also as mentioned, pouring some bleach down the line periodically may help keep the algae from building up.

You can get chlorine tablets from a pool supply store. Place then next to the drain hole and they will slowly dissolve over time. Keeps the drain clear of algae for months a t a time.
