Thanks for the tip, rhredd! I might give that a try next time I want to flush the A/C line.

Make sure you let the sediment, etc. drain out of the hot water tank first (into a bucket, out into the driveway, etc.) before introducing the stream of water to the A/C condensation line, though. That'll keep the tank crud out of the condensation line.
