The goal is to kill all the fungus still in the tube. We to had the system tested 2x per year and they clean out the tube at that time, but just with a water flush. So it appears this tube requires more than the 2x visits per year.

No-one collects the water discharged outside?
Probably wasting up to 5 gallons each and every day. That 'distilled water' is useful to top up auto radiator, windshield washer, hand watering and many other things. Also, adding bleach, or vinegar or whatever else is almost useless if you flush it out immediately. Turn off the a/c and go out to lunch. When you turn it back on check your outside 'collection container. If you see a brownish mush you'll know you got it done. . . .
