RectorSeal Mighty Pump 97795 Hand Operated A/C Condensate Pump, Easy Application, Lightweight & Heavy Duty PVC, Clears Slime, Mold, and Dirt, Easy Application, HVAC

Very effective for clearing the drainage of my home’s inverter split air conditioner system. Useful alternative to a wet/dry vacuum cleaner especially If you already have a stick vacuum and vacuum mop. A big plus is how compact and easy to store it is. Great buy indeed!

My AC drain lines keep clogging, even after treating them with tabs regularly. So this last time I got so frustrated I was searching for a way to handle the clog myself instead of having to call the HVAC company to come clear the line. My shop vac wasn't cutting it. I decided to try this pump after reading the reviews that said it worked when other things didn't. And what do you know, it does work! Where my shop vac and tabs failed, this manual pump sucked the drain line clear and now I've got the right tool to handle it again the next time it happens, because it will happen again. It has plenty of power even though it may at times feel like its stuck and not working, and yes it is dependent on your strength so if you don't have the horsepower to really pull and push on the pump, then it may not be a good fit for you. Otherwise it's fairly easy to use. I do wish it was a little more flexible with connection options, fortunately for me the blue end of the hose fit inside the outside larger elbow enough that the suction worked, otherwise this would not have fit my pipes and I'd have had to rig up something manually. Aside from that, I'm happy with it, hope it holds up over time but it saved the day during this latest drain clog.

Works perfectly with good suction

Very handy

This pump definitely works as designed. It generates strong pressure spikes to dislodge clogs and stagnent water in your drain pipe. It moves a LARGE VOLUME of water, and can work in both directions (ie you can pump air into the drain, helpful to further dislodge clogs). Compared against a wetvac, it requires more manual work, is not that much cheaper, it probably just as effective. Get a wetvac if you have space at home, get this if you're short on storage. Would have given it a 5-stars, but it came with a small crack on one of the hoses so -1 star.
