Gallo Drain Gun – AC Drain Line Cleaner Tool With Flexible Hose Pipe For HVAC Clogs - Includes 6 co2 Air Conditioner Drain Cleaner Cartridges

Came home one day and saw some water leaking out of the secondary drain line for my HVAC system. Not knowing much I called my HVAC guy who came out and said my condensate drip line was clogged. I watched him as he took a container of some type of compressed air and blew out the drain line. He suggested that I run some vinegar or bleach down the line every couple of weeks to prevent buildup which I did but I also came on amazon and found this tool. Despite running bleach down the drain line every few months, this summer caused the drain line to begin clogging again. I got this out and blew out the line myself, taking care of the issue without the HVAC service fee. The tool is very easy to use but definitely feels pretty cheap. It does not feel like it is very well made but overall it does the job and I have not have any issues with it. Would highly recommend this to anyone having issued with their condensate drip lines or even if you are not, just having one on hand would be a good idea.

My AC drain had some buildup in it. Plumber recommended 1st to use Bio-clean, if that didn’t work, he may try “air blasting” it, and 3rd would be to replace the whole pipe and drain. The Bio-clean caused the drain to come to a near standstill, so i called the plumber back out. He took a look at it, and said air blasting it wouldn’t resolve the problem, we should just open up the walls and replace the pipes. I rescheduled him to come out the following week, and in the meantime i ordered this product.The product came in 1 day before the plumber, so i let the drain clear as much as possible (no AC for a couple days) and hit it with these CO2 tanks. Right away, it sounded like some gunk got pushed through. Used all 4 of the tanks because they go very quickly, but then turned the AC back on.The drain filled up to the brim and was even overflowing, so i came to the resolution that i would just trust the plumber to come out tomorrow. So we left the AC on to try and cool off the place while putting a bucket under the overflow. After about 30 minutes the water build up seemed to cause enough pressure to push through the remainder of the buildup. Drain now is working good as new and no need for the plumber to come back out.Ordering another one of these to keep handy! Very happy i made this order it saved me thousands. Only reason the value got 4 stars was because the CO2 tanks go very very quickly.

Way too weak pressure and only CO2 enough for ONE (1) second blast. Thought this was a great concept to get my pipes cleaned for my central AC drain line. Instead, this device, while looking like it would do the trick, instead, was an EPIC FAIL. As others noticed here in the reviews, the product simply does not deliver enough "umph" to get the real clogs out. Instead, again, like others, I ended up flushing with water as this unit does not provide enough PSI (continuous) instead of a single "puff," and then the cartridge is used. The device comes with 6 cartridges, which "may" have moved the blockage, but certainly not out the pipe, and thus, when I flushed it with water, I was easily able to get the blockage out. I do not recommend this product. However, if you have enough cartridges, perhaps it will be enough so now, I am ordering the refill with 8 cartridges. Maybe that will make a difference next time.

So……first off, I live in south Florida. Anyone reading this review that also lives in that area knows that our hvac units run ALL day long in the summer months. This is because it’s hotter than the surface of the sun outside. One of the drawbacks to my AC running all the time, is the drain line gets clogged up with really nasty, slimy, different colored stuff. Usually, I can clear it with water, but, not this time. I bought this thing without high expectations but, it cleared out my drain line in under 3 seconds. First, it’s kind of cheap in terms of construction. But just about everything is, so whatever. Second, the co2 cartridge has to be screwed into the device prior to the handle. The handle doesn’t apply enough push for the little pin to pierce the top of the cartridge. No big deal there. The execution of this thing, however, was flawless. Administered co2 down the line and cleared out about 8 inches of I don’t know what!!! If it fails the next time I need it, I’m still saying it’s worth it. I’ll drop another $30 if need be.

I bought this back in September as a back up plan should my hvac drain line get clogged in the future. For months it just sat there until today. I got home and my hvac wasn’t turning on and water was dripping from the unit.I used this device. It took for cartridges but it finally worked. It got all the gunk out and cleared my lines. Even though I didn’t have to, I still ran a water hose to spray through the line just to flush out any remnants. But this device did the trick and got the main clog out. Pleasantly surprised.
