I do my own drain clean out with 55 psi water hose. Put this in line for about 10 bucks. Takes around 5 mins or less to blow it out. 1 close valve (so water pressure won’t back up into A coil, 2 connect garden hose adapter. 3 turn water on. 5 watch water blow out at outside drain. 6 shut water off, 7. Open valve back up so condensation water drains, 8. Remove hose connection and install cap back on blow out access port.
