How To Unblock The AC Condensate Drainage Line of a typical DAIKIN Split-Type AC

Depending upon which brand and which model of Split-Type Air Conditioning system you have, it can be a relatively simple process to unblock the drainage line - which is the most common cause of a split-type AC system to start dripping: https://aircaresolutionshk.com/this-i...

Daikin ACs are particularly well designed, and the vast majority of their ACs have been engineered with ease of dismantling and ease of deep cleaning as priority features.

So if you've got a split-type AC that has a blocked drainage line and you're handy with a screwdriver - you may want to try unblocking the drainage line for yourself if you're struggling to get an emergency booking with a professional HVAC technician.

P.S. This is an impromptu video where we had invited the client to film the process after he had expressed an interest to learn how he could unblock a drainage line by himself. So it was filmed on the fly with no preparation, no script, and in a single shot with no other camera angles apart from a brief close-up of the algae that had caused the blockage. At a later date we will be preparing a more professional video with greater detail, better/closer camera angles for the various steps in the process, as well as demonstrating the process with a few other AC brands as well.

Disclaimer: ACs are electrical devices, so be sure to isolate the power by turning the AC off at the Circuit Breaker in the Main Fuse Box of your home. Simply turning it off with the remote control does not completely isolate the power. It should also be noted that AirCare Solutions personnel will utilize a pressure washer to flush drainage lines out - not simply the pressure from one's lungs. This clip was prepared purely to demonstrate that it can be a relatively straightforward task to unblock a split-type AC condensate drainage line with just a screwdriver and a short length of standard garden hose. Lastly, it should be noted that drainage pans, condensate, and condensate pipes, can contain significant levels of bacteria - so one should take care not to ingest any condensate if using ones lungs to force air pressure through a drainage line.
