More specifically, this phenomenon results from the continued transition of the refrigerant, circulating in the air conditioner, from a liquid to a gaseous state.<\/p><p>The condensate drain, then, plays an essential role to ensure the proper operation of an A\/C system and it is, therefore, a component that should not be neglected during its regular maintenance.<\/p><p>If the condensate drain lines are not properly and regularly cleaned, algae, mould, clogs and different types of dirt may prevent water from draining, causing bad smells, leaks, and other malfunctions.<\/p><p>To solve these problems, Errecom has developed <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.errecom.com\/en\/product\/drizzle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Drizzle<\/strong><\/a>, a fast-acting and effective cleaner for condensate drain pipes. Its specific formulation removes dirt, encrustations, and organic residues that often clog the lines, eliminating algae and mould too. Safe and non-aggressive, Drizzle does not ruin metal components. It can be used as a precautionary measure to prevent the formation of new clogs.<\/p><p>A completely different technology, instead, has been developed by Errecom for cleaning and descaling the condensate drain. <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.errecom.com\/en\/product\/drain-tabs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Drain Tabs<\/strong><\/a>: tablets which, if inserted every 15\/20 days, avoid the formation of algae, mucilage, sludge, and mould, preventing the drain pipes from clogging and the phenomenon of putrefaction from occurring.<\/p><p>Lastly, to meet more ecological requirements, Errecom has developed <strong>Emerald Tabs<\/strong>: the eco-friendly edition. Their high biodegradability level (over 99%) prevents condensate drain lines from clogging, while fully and completely respecting the environment. The <strong>MINI<\/strong> size is also available, compatible with A\/C systems that require smaller tablets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f3693c9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f3693c9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4cab800d\" data-id=\"4cab800d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The A\/C condensate drain is one of the components that must be maintained to ensure complete cleaning and sanitisation &#8230; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How to clean the A\/C condensate drain The A\/C condensate drain is one of the components that must be maintained to ensure complete cleaning and sanitisation of an A\/C system.
