Mr Mckenic – clears chockage (jelly) in aircon drainage pipe

Is your aircon unit dripping / leaking? Either at the Fan Coil Unit (blower) or along the pipe joints / openings?

One of the possible reasons is due to chockage (accumulation of dirt) in the outlet drainage pipe – contractors like to call this “jelly” formation, don’t ask me why.

Once this happens, the water formed by condensation at the Fan Coil Unit is unable to flow out smoothly and will cause leakage at the points where there’s gaps or holes in the tube. Usually, if installed properly, each aircon system should only have 2 holes in the drainage outlet system (1 being at the end where water flows out to main pipes and 1 at the start connected to the Fan Coil Unit – near the bottom).

We recently encountered this and went out to look for a simple solution to clear the chockage.

Here’s what we did.

1 – Isolate the possible place of chockage

2 – Turned off aircon (duh!) – for safety reasons, turn off at Main Circuit Board or isolator (near the outdoor compressor unit). Leave it off for some time so remaining water in the pipe can clear out.

3 – Went to (eat lunch first then) nearest Home-Fix DIY shop and purchased Mr Mckenic Choke Clear (S$16.50)

4 – Followed the instructions on the product label and poured around 1/4 bottle solution into the pipe, wait for at least 30 minutes to take effect.

5 – Here’s something extra – we purchased a small diameter plastic tube (around $1 per meter) and used it as a flexible hose to insert into the drainage pipe to try to “push out” any remaining accumulated dirt (aka jelly) in the pipe.

Aircon’s been turned on for sometime already and no leak yet (usually leaks within 15 minutes). Seems like the problem has been resolved!

Total Time = 90 minutes

Total Cost = $20 = $16.50 + $3.50 (for 3m plastic tube)
