Seems like pouring a half gallon of water down drain did not do anything as water drained but under the filter was about 2=3 gallons of water which we got rid of using shop vac.

Do not have snake and hvac has not had a pm for some time so will call in morning.

Thanks for guidance learned a lot today.
Funny you said that. I was walking today and noticed how the height of the A/C drains on newer houses vary on how high before the elbow turn down. Some was sticking way up 12 to looked like 14 inches, or more over the slab level? And height varied like there was not standard height?

I thought to myself that may create clogging condition or make it clog faster cause of the amount of water in line and the gravity pressure it takes to flow out onto ground. I measured mine and it sticks up about 9” to point the water flow (drips out).

IMO very puzzling?
