Condensate drain lines must be properly terminated in a floor drain or to the outside of the house. Excess water and moisture can become a very serious problem in your home if these drain lines flow into your home improperly.
Here is a photo of a condensate drain from an HVAC unit. A very common and neseccary component.
Now here is the problem. This line MUST drain to something other than the floor of the crawlspace.
There are several options to properly draining this line. No not a bucket. This particular crawlspace was in dire need of a sump pump, that would be one possibility. Another possible solution would be a condensate pump to take the water out of the house.
