      @@PipeDoctor If you get a nasty coil,ok! But most coil cleaners are sodium hydroxide(lye/alkaline base) the issue is they remove the aluminum oxide protective layer off of the metal. Same as washing your car with dish soap,it will remove the wax on the finish.Over time,it will dissolve the metal completely.As many coils as I loveingly get to wash every single day,I see the effects of using the heavy duty chemical on a regular basis!

  • @bruceelias2732

    Hi Mikey
    If your condenser is pretty clean can I use dish washing soap , without acidic chemicals
    It seems Steve Lav and many others say
    Chemicals anually cause corrosion.
    What do you think?
    Thanks Mikey pipes!!

    I thought that you wanted to use an environmentally friendly coil cleaner and this us why you switched to Viper. It's too bad that you don't care about the environmental contamination.
