Abstract:
A device to clear a blockage from a drain line draining condensation from an air handler in an air conditioner or heat pump. A pump with check valves attaches to one end of a drain line which drains condensation from an air handler for an air conditioner or heat pump. A handle on the pump is used to create respectively a vacuum or pressure within the pump which is communicated to the drain line. When sufficient vacuum or pressure is created, it will dislodge a blockage in the drain line allowing the drain line to naturally drain. A valve is placed at one end of the pump which allows accumulated liquid in a collection pan to be pumped from the collection pan in the process of clearing condensation from the air handler.
