Drain Drizzler

YOU WILL NEED:

An electrical outlet within 10 feet of the air handler

One Drain Drizzler DIY Kit 

Phillips #2 Screwdriver

Drill and 5/32” (4 mm) drill bit

White vinegar

STEP 1:  INSTALL THE BARB

Locate the A/C drain coming out of the handler and drill a 5/32” (4 mm) hole through the TOP of the pipe (or fitting) close to the A/C handler as shown by the red spot. 

If the float switch is in the drain line, then the barb should go between the float switch and the air handler.

*** DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE PIPE ***

Screw the M5 thread-forming screw (left) into the 5/32” (4 mm) hole and remove it. Gently screw the barb (right) into the threaded hole finger-tight only. Connect the Tee on top of the drain barb if it’s not already there.

STEP 2:  MOUNT THE DRAIN DRIZZLER

Find a suitable location that allows the power cord to reach an outlet and the vinyl tubing to reach the barb. 

The Drain Drizzler can be placed on a shelf and may also be screwed in place. You can attach Drain Drizzler to any vertical surface using the mounting holes provided.

If the air handler is in the attic, consider passing the vinyl tubing through the ceiling to keep the Drain Drizzler easy to refill.

Step 3:  CONNECT VINYL TUBING

Connect one end of the vinyl tubing to the pump outlet and the other end to the Tee barb as shown. The barb and tubing should be approximately vertical.

Cut vinyl tubing to length if necessary.

Step 4: ADD WHITE VINEGAR

Unscrew the cap and lift out the intake tubing. Remove the bottle. Fill with any White Vinegar. Replace the bottle with the label facing the back and screw on the lid. Make sure that the intake pipe is at the bottom of the bottle. The 16 oz (500 ml ) reservoir can last for up to a year. We suggest you check the vinegar level every few months, but especially before the start of the Summer algae season.

Step 5: POWER USING DC ADAPTER

Plug in the DC Adapter and connect the other end to the Drain Drizzler DC power input.

*** 12VDC ONLY ***

The green LED shows that power is on. The red flashing LED shows that Drain Drizzler is running.

Step 6: PRIME THE PUMP

The primer switch is behind the hole in the control box cover. Using the supplied wooden rod, press the switch until vinegar flows along the tubing and reaches the barb.

That’s it! Your Drain Drizzler is set up.
