Just as described, works great Read more

I bought this back in September as a back up plan should my hvac drain line get clogged in the future. For months it just sat there until today. I got home and my hvac wasn’t turning on and water was dripping from the unit. I used this device. It took for cartridges but it finally worked. It got all the gunk out and cleared my lines. Even though I didn’t have to, I still ran a water hose to spray through the line just to flush out any remnants. But this device did the trick and got the main clog out. Pleasantly surprised.

The very first time I used this piece of junk, the tube which connects to the gun/trigger "base" blew off. The metal fitting that crimped the hose to it was so weak that it simply didn't hold. The A/C guy came last week for my free summer maintenance visit and he blew out the condensate line and told me I should watch it because he could see where it had backed up slightly into the pan. So he blew it out a couple of weeks ago and I ordered this the same day. I figured it wouldn't hurt to blow it out again to make sure it was completely cleared out before I added a product to the pipe to prevent mold and mildew from growing in there and causing a backup. Well, this thing was an epic fail. Separated and the compressed C02 burned the heck out of my hand. Read more

I needed an effective means to ensure that the condensate drain line for my AC unit was clear of any obstructions. The Gallo Drain Gun was an excellent choice for this job, and I was able to blast a burst of pressure through the drain line, and any residual stuff in that line was blown free. This gun will accept either unthreaded or threaded CO2 cartridges, and mine came with six threaded ones. Be advised though, that once activated by the trigger, The CO2 pressure only lasts about 3 or 4 seconds, so you need to hold the hose & adapter firmly against the end of the pipe you are unclogging. One thing I would change, is the tapered rubber hose nozzle. While it will work well with 1/2" and 3/4" pipe I.D.s, I really had to carefully align it to work with my 3/8" O.D. copper drain line, since the end was too large to insert into the approx. 1/4" I.D. of the copper line. The next time I use it, I'll insert a mini-funnel into the open end of that 3/8" line, and that should do the trick. All in all, I'm very happy with this unit! Read more

So……first off, I live in south Florida. Anyone reading this review that also lives in that area knows that our hvac units run ALL day long in the summer months. This is because it’s hotter than the surface of the sun outside. One of the drawbacks to my AC running all the time, is the drain line gets clogged up with really nasty, slimy, different colored stuff. Usually, I can clear it with water, but, not this time. I bought this thing without high expectations but, it cleared out my drain line in under 3 seconds. First, it’s kind of cheap in terms of construction. But just about everything is, so whatever. Second, the co2 cartridge has to be screwed into the device prior to the handle. The handle doesn’t apply enough push for the little pin to pierce the top of the cartridge. No big deal there. The execution of this thing, however, was flawless. Administered co2 down the line and cleared out about 8 inches of I don’t know what!!! If it fails the next time I need it, I’m still saying it’s worth it. I’ll drop another $30 if need be. Read more

Came home one day and saw some water leaking out of the secondary drain line for my HVAC system. Not knowing much I called my HVAC guy who came out and said my condensate drip line was clogged. I watched him as he took a container of some type of compressed air and blew out the drain line. He suggested that I run some vinegar or bleach down the line every couple of weeks to prevent buildup which I did but I also came on amazon and found this tool. Despite running bleach down the drain line every few months, this summer caused the drain line to begin clogging again. I got this out and blew out the line myself, taking care of the issue without the HVAC service fee. The tool is very easy to use but definitely feels pretty cheap. It does not feel like it is very well made but overall it does the job and I have not have any issues with it. Would highly recommend this to anyone having issued with their condensate drip lines or even if you are not, just having one on hand would be a good idea. Read more

I personally don’t think it’s powerful enough to blow most lines and u only get one small burst per canister Read more

My AC drain had some buildup in it. Plumber recommended 1st to use Bio-clean, if that didn’t work, he may try “air blasting” it, and 3rd would be to replace the whole pipe and drain. The Bio-clean caused the drain to come to a near standstill, so i called the plumber back out. He took a look at it, and said air blasting it wouldn’t resolve the problem, we should just open up the walls and replace the pipes. I rescheduled him to come out the following week, and in the meantime i ordered this product. The product came in 1 day before the plumber, so i let the drain clear as much as possible (no AC for a couple days) and hit it with these CO2 tanks. Right away, it sounded like some gunk got pushed through. Used all 4 of the tanks because they go very quickly, but then turned the AC back on. The drain filled up to the brim and was even overflowing, so i came to the resolution that i would just trust the plumber to come out tomorrow. So we left the AC on to try and cool off the place while putting a bucket under the overflow. After about 30 minutes the water build up seemed to cause enough pressure to push through the remainder of the buildup. Drain now is working good as new and no need for the plumber to come back out. Ordering another one of these to keep handy! Very happy i made this order it saved me thousands. Only reason the value got 4 stars was because the CO2 tanks go very very quickly. Read more
