Water will indeed accumulate and cause all kinds of problems
including a nasty mold! Sometime after I installed a 200 foot run
of pipe I noticed an foul odor coming out of it at the shack end.
I tried plugging the pipe with some spongy foam to block the air
but that didn't help much. Then I installed a Tee connector in the
pipe at each end and screened over the Tee part of it, orienting
the Tee to keep out rain. I left the foam in the tube ends to
block outside air. The Tees allowed fresh air to circulate in the
tube and the odor problem disappeared.
