If you have a light blockage, the Diyvac might be a quick solution for getting your ac back running and save you a few $$. However, before purchasing this product, there are a few things you should know:
- It only works on light clogs.
- It’s designed to fit a 1″ opening, so if your drain line is 3/4″, you’ll need to buy an adapter.
- There have been many complaints about the price, compatibility with their vac, and fittings that many customers threw in the towel and opted to using their vac on their drain line and sealing off the gap with a rag.
Vacuuming out an ac drain line using the Diyvac attachment or blowing out the line using a drain gun are both temporary solutions for your clogged ac condensate line, or rather after-the-fact solutions.
The best way to prevent algae from growing and blocking your ac drain line is by treating it periodically with bleach or vinegar. Just keep a jug next to your unit, set your calendar, and pour a little bit in to your drain line and you’re set.

How about a long term solution? One where you can go for months without having to worry about your drain line!
The HVAC Chlorinator uses a patented stacked tablet technology using 1″ chlorine tablets that allows only one tablet at a time to be dissolved. This unit will last for months before needing a refill giving you complete piece of mind. It’s simple to install. Just splice the drain line in between your unit and trap and insert the chlorinator.
The HVAC Chlorinator can be purchased on Amazon or Ebay!
