® Patented specialty wet vac attachment to unclog and evacuate ac drain lines

Worked instantly

My A/C decides to act up once in a while by not blowing cold air. My neighbor's friend, who is an A/C professional, told me to lower the temperature to "force" the A/C to reset itself. After running continuously for over 1 hour I decided to do some research. I found out that there might be a problem with the drain pipe and found out that it needed cleaning. Research found me to this product, and I decided to give it a try for $25 before hiring a professional. I followed directions from the pictures and the video. Well, let's just say that I've seen things that I would never unsee to the point of going into a panic. If this stuff was present in my house, I wonder how long it was there, and how it might have affected my health. The wet vacuum had a problem with the chunk that it pulled, that's how bad it was. Now, on advice from my research I need to do this cleaning every six months, and I would definitely follow through with this task. FYI - the water did not want to drain properly, and I wanted to see when I reached the end. So, I used my plant watering can - mine is plastic, has a long neck and holds 1/2 gallon of water - and filled it with warm water from the faucet and added about 10 drops of blue liquid food coloring. I poured it slowly into the pipe inside the house and started pulling the gunk from the outside like it shows in the video. Once I saw blue water coming out, I knew that the mess was gone. Also, in my case I have a 1.5" elbow, and this unit is smaller. So, to fix this problem until I make it more permanent with an actual reducer, I put in a furniture leg protector made from silicone over the pipe, cut a small slit, and inserted the black portion. It made a good seal, but put my hand over it just to make sure that it would not pop. Mr. DIYVAC - thank you so much for your device - you're a great man!

You could do this job without this tool, but this makes it nicer to be able to see what’s going on as the vacuum is running

I purchased this to have on hand at our new construction Florida home and within a few days of receiving it, our HVAC unit's drain clogged and was overflowing onto the floor...rushed out and hooked this up to the outlet with my shop vac and it worked like a charm.

To be fair, a zealous housecleaner threw away the instructions that came with this unit, but I think I'm doing it right, because it works. The idea is to connect to the outdoor air conditioner condensate line and then hook up a shop vac to clear the line. I went through a whole adventure with this when the HVAC repairman gave me the tip that this would save on paying to unclog our lines (yes, I use line cleaner and vinegar/hot water, but Florida summers are relentlessly humid).The HVAC guy put a handy downward spout on the end of our outside line, and this adapter connected firmly to it right away. The Milwaukee cordless shop vac I just bought however, will not lock on perfectly to the other end. But I was able to hold it in place well enough that it worked and cleared the line. I know it worked, both because the drip tray under the air handler in the garage stopped leaking, and because this adapter has a VERY HELPFUL clear section that lets you see what you're sucking out of your a/c. Saw plenty of organic gunk, followed by the backed up condensate, then only drips and drops of water, which told me the job was done.Tip:I have seen that using duct tape to firmly attach the end of the shop vac helps to form a seal, and this is probably a good idea. I didn't want to bother though, and holding the shop vac in place worked just fine.Four home hacking stars.

The media could not be loaded. No more paying $100 for an AC tech. Look at that FL ac algae gone!My AC unit is 2yrs old, but the new exit pipe (terminology??) is sludge ridden... I've tried the vinegar route to no avail. This week my unit has been shutting off 3-4 times a day... In Florida August heat.. not cool, literally.I broke down last night after noticing the wood my unit sits on was wet and decided to let a tech come out. I was frustrated because I knew the issue but did not have the tools to get into awkward crook of the exit pipe.....Then I Googled ac wet dry attachment and Amazon had my back. Overnight shipping, I woke up this morning drug my wetvac and extension cord outside... Put this attachment on my vac, checked for good pressure, then attached it to my sludgy exit pipe ... I enjoyed seeing the crap being sucked out of my unit and felt sorry for the ac unit still trying to run with that muck inside itI am not a handy person, so I left it running for a few then came inside to check on things.. I wasn't sure what I was looking for but when I approached the unit I could hear the sucking sound and the little PVC pipe that I put the vinegar in was empty and sounded like a wind tunnel..I then knew the deed was done and went back outside to check what the vacuum collected. You can see the exciting finale in my video!I haven't dumped it yet.. I'm so impressed I am waiting for my wife to wake up so I can show/disgust her with my job well done!Stop reading and buy it!! Gtg cancel my tech visit!

Great product when cleaning out AC lines and ensuring that everything is done properly.

This works great! It makes cleaning out the A/C line so easy.
