Should the vinegar/water come out of the exterior drain port? I poured in about two cups and nothing came out of the exterior port.

I am going to do some research on my unit and start doing this.

Do you really have to turn the unit off?

Good tutorial….what’s going on if occassionally you hear drips sounds from the floor registers?

What do you do if the cap is stuck?

the Wurstfest cup lol

What about the drain line cutoff switch? Our HVAC kept shutting off. Was the drain switch was stuck.

Perfect video. Straight to the point and concise! Thank you.

Not the Wurstfest cup 😮

Can I use cleaning vinegar? Instead of distilled vinegar?

So you don't need to flush it out with hot water after the 30 minutes?

Do all homes have an outdoor drain line ? Because I don’t see nothing outside my house

Yooo shoutout to the wurstfest cup!

Viniger and bleach. Great idea

Dang I just did this with white vinegar but I didn’t wait to turn my AC back on. I poured a cup of white vinegar, wiped everything down, put the sensor back in and started the AC. Did I mess anything up by starting my AC too early?

Can you use diluted ammonia?

Will water still leak afterwards for a bit?

Unfortunately my drain doesnt have a cap, how else can I get the vinegar into the line?

What about the sludge in the drip pan it self?

Works well. Thank you

well we have 2 pipes and trying to figure out which one to clean. cant find any info on that or how to tell

What set point do I set the hardness for a steamer

Bleach eats away at the pipes?! Are you kidding me? Go look at a swimming pool, it uses the same type of PVC piping and it uses chlorine.

I've been an a/c tech for 30 years and I'm tired of people putting vinegar in the drain line. It doesn't work, USE BLEACH.

Do not use Rust out if you are using a rust defense or iron removing salt. It will create a gas that smells terrible and can damage your softener. This is from the manufacturer and they dont put it on the label as a warning.

any more new content?

I do this annually when I clean out my sink P traps. Your primary AC drain line likely drains into one of your sink drains. I undo that rubber tube and take a toothbrush and dig out all the gunk. Then pour the vinegar in the attic and wait for it to all drain out. Nasty job but feels good once done. Just did mine 20 minutes ago.

It actually worked! My AC has been short cycling for a month and I was considering hiring a handy man but I wanted to fix it last minute before calling somebody and it actually worked and saved me some money. I can't thank you enough!

This is just a question and I'm just trying to learn how to best maintain our A/C unit. I was told to never use bleach, since it can actually rust out the coils in your unit. I work for a company that monitors vacation homes and rentals for owners, who are gone. I actually reported a problem with an A/C unit that was leaking and there was a substantial amount of rust coming out of the A/C. Do you know whether this is true or does anybody here know why rust was leaking out of the A/C? For the record, once I report an issue a lot of times, I don't know what caused the issue, our company does not disclose that information. Thanks

That looks like the Costco size of vinegar.

My unit only have the line that goes out of the house and the one that has the overflow leveling thing. I do not see anything else. Don’t know where to pour the vinegar. Help!!! 😬

Does this make an immediate different with the odor coming from the vents? How long do we give it to make sure it was effective or to do it again?

Thanks for such a simple remedy to hang these frames. Clever idea for a problematic design by ikea.

You have an image of distilled white vinegar and bleach side by side in your very first shot. Id imagine there are people who see that and think, "got it! 50/50 of two things I have!"And they make hypochlorous acid and kill everybody.

Hi I did this cleaning and it worked great it even increased my water pressure but I don't know if this caused a issue with my salt turning to mush or could it be bad salt pellets ? I'm Leary of tiring it again because cleaning out the brine tank is a big job. Your thoughts. Ty

Y’all from Texas hill country brand thanks so much from 409 area

Why drain line is covered with insulation?

Love this. Short and to the point without eight minutes of dialogue of the WHY, which I already knew, which is why I was searching for a video of HOW to do it.

Just moved to Florida in June…so, I am learning g as we go lol! That being said, “My AC Guy” has been ripping me off knowing how clueless I am about AC maintenance, particularity the drain clean out. Got fed up with AC shutting down every 30 days so I found your video.: added the vinegar, waited about 5-10min and magic happened! Started draining like a champ! I will still blow the drain pipe out with compressed air to get rid of the nasty slime but using vinegar to prevent this from happened is priceless! Thanks for sharing!

is it ok to use the concentrate 30% vingegar for ac?

Thanks for the Video bud Ours is under the house and its a bitch too get too.

How do you drain water from this water softener?

I've read that you should pour some water after the vinegar has sat for 30 minutes, then turn your AC back on.

Thanks! Is there a reason for waiting 30 mins before turning the unit back on?

I WENT TO THE ATTIC, NO AC HANDLER, I WENT TO THE GARAGE, NO AC HANDLER, I WENT OUTSIDE TO THE AC UNIT, NO AC HANDLER, WHERE IS THE GOD DAMN HANDLER>? I CAN'T POUR VINEGAR IN IT IF I CAN'T FIND IT

Thanks for this, always keep your stuff in check people. I wish there was easy guide for when you buy a house. Learning as things break/malfunction isn’t always the best, but glad that good maintenance and proper care can work wonders!

So, do you have to leave the unit off for 30 minutes after you pour the vinegar in?

I use cleaning vinegar (found with household cleaning products) because it is 20% more acidic than white vinegar. I use it every month. I've never had a clogged drain.
