Hi All!

Recently had an issue with my AWC system (running it through a DOS) clogging up. Here's a picture below of what it looked like, it got so clogged the waste line wasn't pulling out any more water. It seems to only get clogged like this on the waste line.

I ended up cleaning it out by running some vinegar/water through the lines which worked well. Although I'm starting to get buildup in the tubing again, and was curious if others are running into this issue? Is there a way to prevent this? Am I running the wrong tubing? Could it be the heat in my cabinet? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
