Functions of Pan & Drain Treatment:
1. Cleans Condensate Water Drain Line
• When the air conditioner operates, it produces condensate water that flows into the drain pan & drain hose.
• Pan & drain treatment dissolves in that water and cleans the drain line so that:
• It doesn’t get clogged
• It doesn’t smell
• It doesn’t become a breeding ground for mold/slime
.;
2. Prevents Drain Line Blockage
• Aircon blockages usually happen when:
• Slime / biofilm / algae builds up
• Dust from the room mixes with the water
• When clogged, water overflows and leaks from the indoor unit (common case: water dripping inside the house).
.;
3. Eliminates & Prevents Bad Odors
• Stagnant water → mold & bacteria growth → musty/sewer-like smell.
• Drain treatment contains anti-bacterial & anti-fungal agents, so the smell disappears.
.;
4. Extends Air Conditioner Lifespan
• When the drain line flows smoothly and stays free of slime, the system remains cleaner & more efficient.
• Reduces the risk of water leaking onto the circuit board (PCB) or damaging other parts.
.;
How to Use (Example: Tablet / Gel):
1. Turn off the air conditioner
2. Open the indoor unit cover → locate the drain pan
3. Place 1 tablet / squeeze gel into the pan
4. When the aircon runs, condensate water dissolves the tablet/gel → cleaning the drain line as it flows
One tablet usually lasts 1–2 months (depending on humidity & unit size).
.;
Important Tips:
• Do not place in the blower fan – only for the drain pan & hose.
• Avoid harsh (acidic) chemicals that may damage PVC pipes.
• If already clogged, use a vacuum or water jet flush first before applying treatment.
