Refrigeration Technologies Launches Viper EZDose to Prevent Condensate Drain Clogs
Refrigeration Technologies, the Southern California-based manufacturer behind the Viper line of non-toxic HVACR chemical solutions, announced the launch of Viper EZDose, a gravity-fed pan and drain line maintenance system designed to help HVAC contractors prevent condensate drain clogs before they become water damage, odor complaints, and costly callbacks.
Clogged condensate drain lines account for up to 90% of water-related AC service calls, according to HVAC industry data; and most of them are preventable, Refrigeration Technologies says. A typical residential HVAC system can pull up to 20 gallons of water per day from the air. When that water has nowhere to go, water backs up, pans overflow, and damage to ceilings, walls, and floors follows.
EZDose uses a gravity-fed reservoir valve, fittings, and routed tubing to deliver Viper Pan & Drain Treatment directly into the evaporator drain pan at multiple points, so every area of the pan is covered, not just one spot. The result is even distribution across the entire surface where slime, mildew, sludge, and Zooglea are most likely to form. The system installs in minutes and requires no power, batteries, wiring, app, or motor to malfunction or troubleshoot.
Once installed, technicians fill the 32 oz. magnetic reservoir with Viper Pan & Drain Treatment, a non-corrosive, biodegradable gel formulated with detergents, enzymes, and silicone. The enzymes break down existing buildup, while the silicone coats the pan, p-trap, and drain piping to improve flow and prevent future growth from adhering. Maintenance is straightforward: 8 oz. every three months for standard upkeep, or 4 oz monthly for problem drain lines. The reservoir mounts directly to the unit via built-in magnets or to a nearby surface using included drywall anchors.
For contractors operating preventative maintenance agreements, EZDose provides a repeatable, visible drain treatment process that reinforces service value and helps eliminate the callbacks that quietly erode profitability.
Key features include:
- Gravity-fed system – no power, batteries, wires or app required
- Includes 32 oz reservoir, 32 oz Viper Pan & Drain Treatment, fitting kit, drain pan adapter, grommet, magnetic hose clips, pipe cutter, step drill bit, ball valve, 10 ft. tubing, and mounting hardware;
- Safe on all metals and plastics; non-corrosive, non-toxic and biodegradable treatment chemistry;
- Prevents buildup of Zooglea, mold, mildew and slime; eliminates odors, protects against water leaks; and
- Designed for residential and commercial HVAC systems.
