Can't unclog nouns conditioner tube where on earth excess hose down runs rotten?
any ideas?
is it safe and sound to use draino or a similar product?
Answers: Take off the hose
-Try pushing sea through
-Try using a pipe cleaner
-Go get a replacement hose
Draino seem like a fruitless idea
We usually hold the A/C people to unclog ours and they use some sort of acerbic that dissolves the stuff that grows in here. Draino might mess it up totally.
Run a firm florist wire through it. You can grasp it at a craft store.
I used my shop vac to suck out the clog from where the tube ends.
I would freak out if my tenant used draino! The pipe cleaner idea, shop vac or even a coat hanger beside a rag wrapped around it is better than that! I agree, I hold mine serviced every year before AC season and they usually find that algae is what is clogging that little tube. If you are renting, please contact your owner, tenant or management squad before trying to rectify the situation yourself. We are in that to perform repairs and make your living situation hassle free...
Get a coat hanger(wire) or a small screw driver to push inside it and verbs everything out to unclog it.
Poke it out with a long pliable telecommunication {copper works}. It is not delicate. Once clear, a touch bleach every now and later helps.

Try running a snake up the drain pipe working it wager on and forth and pulling it completely out on occasion. You could expect to see solution iron rust in color if your discharge pipe is galvanize or copper. Typically the pipe size will be 1/2" or 3/4" surrounded by size. If you elect to try this be sure to add sea from time to time flushing the pipe in ask.
PS. If the snake has a pig screw finale remove it or make convinced that it is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe.
Best 2 ya!
First, find the place outside of your apt where the condensate
tube ends. try pushing a cable (coat hanger) up this tube as far as possible. A 15' piece of stranded wire should be long plenty. If this fails, try pushing the rope from the condensate pan lower than the a-frame (coils) of the air-handler inside the apartment. An alternative to wire is compressed nouns - flat tire
cans own about 35 pounds per sq. inch. If you prefer chemicals
try drain cleaners.
Just blow out the smudge with compressed nouns or a co2 gun. Forgetthe coat hanger or wire concept. Won't work to well or clear out the blockage
