That’s why I’m interested in reading the paper. Bleach being used for cleaning was blamed for the corrosion but it wasn’t clear what was being cleaned. Were bleach vapors coming back up the drain pipe, were owners pouring bleach in the drain pan, were they using bleach to clean the coils themselves, or was the corrosion due to using bleach to clean the bathroom?
