BRODYS Drain Device - AC Drain Line Cleaner Device, with a flexible hose to Clear all HVAC Clogs, (Comes with 6 Unthreaded CO2 Cartridges, AC Cleaner Blaster Opener Kit

Did it's job and did it well. Unfortunately the cartridges dont have a ton of volume but enough to fully clear my line without issue. I suspect those with longer drain lines may need more than one per cleaning so if you live in a state where the air handler doesn't just dump into a basement drain keep that in mind

Works great, just what I was looking for. Save yourself headaches and clean those AC drains.

I bought this to help clear the A/C condensate drain line in our second-floor condo. The drain line is mostly buried in a wall leading down to the condo below ours, routed then to a floor drain where that first-floor condo’s A/C condensate drain terminates. There are four sharp 90-degree elbows in the ¾” pipe to the first-floor discharge, making it impossible to snake. When the drain gets clogged with algae, mold, the water backs up, it then flows into our water heater drain pan. That eventually puts out the water heater pilot light and makes for cold showers and a lot of remediation work. We regularly pour vinegar down the drain line through a breather T near the furnace. Last year a plumber used one of these CO2 blowers to clear the line. This year I bought this one, saving the plumber house call cost. The plumber recommended installing a valve in the line to prevent backflow of the CO2 and blocking the water heater pan drain with a cork while blowing it clear. I found the device rubber drain adapter slightly smaller than needed. I solved that by using the piece of ¾” PVC cute out to install the valve in the condensate drain to glue into the drain’s breather T fitting. The drain adapter then fit fine. The minor adjustment in the breather T fitting should have no impact on pouring in vinegar. I needed two CO2 cartridges to clear the clog and will likely use another one after dumping down more vinegar over the next week to gobble through the gunk.

Worthless, only got a little puff of air out of the carrigates. Not enough to blow out a candle.

It didn't come with any instructions... just a box

Good product works well.

A clogged A/C drain line occurs every year at my house. I dread it because it can be real trouble if you don't take care of it quickly. The first clue there's a clog is when you see the secondary drain line start to drip. One year, in the hot summer, I noticed the secondary was dripping and postponed calling the A/C guy and then, several days later, when I got home from work I found a large portion of my ceiling had come crashing down to the floor because the evaporator drip pan had been overflowing and soaking the insulation and sheetrock underneath it. It was an awful mess. Ever since then I have been very aware of my secondary drain line and if it drips then I call the A/C service right away. It costs around $100 for them to come out and I feel like it's worth it. The last time they came out, I watched how they cleared it and was surprised that they used a little CO2 cartridge device to blast out the gunk built up in the drain line. So this year I bought this Brody's Drain Device and used it yesterday when I saw some drips from my secondary drain and it really did the job! One cartridge completely opened my primary drain line. I got a picture of the gunk that came out (circled in yellow). I am so glad I got this and would recommend it to any homeowner!!!

Work like it should
