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

​I was facing the dreaded summer nightmare: our AC unit shut off automatically, and I discovered a puddle of water around the indoor air handler. The culprit? A clogged condensation drain line, which had tripped the float switch. ​For years, I've battled this issue with a wet/dry vac, bleach, and long flexible brushes, with mixed and temporary results. This time, the clog was stubborn. After an hour of frustration and with the temperature rising in the house, I was about to make the expensive call to an HVAC technician. ​On a whim, I did a quick search and found this CO2 unclogging tool. I was skeptical, to be honest. Could a small CO2 cartridge really do what my powerful shop vac couldn't? The answer is a resounding YES. ​Ease of Use: This tool is brilliantly simple. The instructions were crystal clear, and it took less than 60 seconds to screw in the CO2 cartridge and attach the nozzle to my drain line's cleanout port. ​The Magic Moment: I held the tool firmly against the pipe, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. The "WHOOSH" was powerful and immediate. I ran outside to the end of the drain line, and what I saw was both disgusting and beautiful: a sudden, forceful gush of water and a year's worth of built-up algae gunk blasted right out of the pipe. The clog was completely obliterated in a single shot. ​The Result: I went back inside, poured some water down the cleanout port to test it, and it flowed freely for the first time in ages. The AC kicked back on and has been running perfectly ever since. The entire process, from opening the box to a fixed AC, took less than five minutes. ​Final Verdict: This tool is worth every single penny and then some. It's a fraction of the cost of a single HVAC service call and infinitely more effective than any other DIY method I've tried. This is now a permanent, essential part of my home maintenance toolkit. If you have central air conditioning, do not hesitate. Buy one of these before you need it. It will save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress. An absolute must-have for any homeowner!

Worked very well. Would recommend this product highly

My husband used it and said it worked great. Well spent money! Saved us hundreds of dollars.

First of all there are no instructions in the package . When you squeeze the trigger you get 2 seconds of a very weak air pressure. Absolute garbage

Co 2 cartridges only last about 2 seconds and this doesn’t seem like enough to clear a line. I ended up using 4. I was not impressed with the product

It worked for me on the last cartridge fortunately. I tried to get a decent seal by plugging other openings in the line and used 5 of the cartridges but the air always had some way to escape. I had to cut the drain line so I could get a tight seal and a direct shot at the blockage but that finally worked and my AC is back in operation. My one complaint is that they don't tell you what size cartridges come with the gun (16 gram or 20 gram) and I don't see how to reorder cartridges.

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.

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!!!
