HPA saves the day ...

was warm today so turned on the ac, walked by the air handler which is floor level in this house, and the floor was wet .. i checked it out and the drain pipe is clogged .. im like man, im tired ready to eat and im going to have to drag a water hose in here and make a big mess to clean up .. have no fear, i pushed a hpa hose in the line and shoved a sock around it to kinda seal it. hooked a buddy bottle to it and blasted the slime out, which shot out the opening outside .. quick and painless lol .. 5 minute job ..

Good thinking, the only use I’d thought of was to blow some dust out of the inside of my computer

Not the first time that has worked for me.

I'll have to remember this. I always drag out the shopvac and garden hose. This sounds less messy! LOL

Well played sir, and a regulated blast at that!

That's an interesting way to clear your condensate line.
Have you tried it on sinuses?

My HVAC technicians routinely use their nitrogen tanks to clear out plugged condensation drains. They also make a small purpose built co2 “gun” called a gallo gun for this exact purpose. It’s a little safer to use on pvc piping with less chance of blowing something apart than using high pressure nitrogen or hpa.
