Using a shop vac to clear a drain line of an AC system. The drain line runs under neath the slab of the how. When set up like that, it will clog from time to time. It acts as a trap and allow for build up.
Thanks for the video. There’s no longer the need to manually clear the AC drain line, just install a steady stream condensate pump and it automates the process.
The Like and Dislike system clearly needs to be expanded to include "This was useful but thoroughly disgusting so don't you dare fill my feed with similar videos."
I spliced a sanitary Y (with a garden hose fitting) as close to the air-handler as possible. I then attach the garden hose to the fitting and back flush it BEFORE there is a clog--about every 9 months. I use the vacuum to clear out the short length of PVC from the handler to the fitting. Finally, I pour a good 4 or 5 ounces of Clorox into the line. I don't turn the AC back on for at least an hour. Meaning, I do this during the fall or winter.
I am going to try and do this. I bought a Wet/Dry Vacuum today. By looking at your video, all I have to do is just put the black holes/ connect to the white pipe and turn on the vacuum, to unclog the AC drain line of the water? Thanks for video. Blessings to you and yours😊🙏🏽
I would add though I have a long drain run and the vacuum didnt do it alone. I ended up running some fish tape down the run and finally got if flowing.
@@leelunk8235 Term they use for a coil of stiff steel they run down a conduit with a string to tie to wires to pull back through. Its stiff but flexible and handheld and you can extended it down a long pipe and go back and forth to clear stuff. (Not intended use but it works)
@@hecosean OH OK COOL, RESEARCHED IT, LOOK LIKE PUTTING THE FISH TAPE INTO THE AC DRAIN LINE WITH A BRUSH AT THE END AND RUNNING IT DOWN WOULD HELP CLEAR THE DEBRIS
Whoever pays your electric bill is hoping that you don’t run the AC. There is no way the slow trickle of an AC draining could cause a sinkhole to form. It’s more of a steady dripping really.
@@thorkappabrosilon SINK HOLES ARE MORE COMPLICATED THAN ALL THAT..IN THE SUMMER TIME IN FLORIDA IT RAINS EVERYDAY FOR 3 MONTHS..THE WHOLE HOUSE AROUND PERIMETER IS DRENCHED IN RAIN ON A YEARLY BASIS..NO SINK HOLE IN MANY PLACES
@@leelunk8235 Yes. I live in Florida also. I know that water dripping on soil does not cause a sink hole. It doesn’t take a genius to know that. The person that has suggested that it does has been duped.
