The iFlow device id intended to supress the growth of mold in the AC pan.

Sunshine Air adds a few tablets to the pan to control mold during service.

Here's the theory of operation for the chemicals used in the iFlow product to inhibit slime mold from growing in the system.

What is Zooglea?

White Slime, Snot, Mucus, whatever you call the stuff clogging in your HVAC's condensate drain pan and drain lines... it's probably ZOOGLEA
!

Zooglea is a bacteria that causes clogs which can lead to A/C shut downs, overflows, and eventually ceiling and wall damage. While air handlers have had coils made out of copper for decades, the industry recently chose to switch to aluminum coils in order to save on manufacturing cost.

This has led to an influx of zooglea growth since aluminum does not contain the same antimicrobial properties as copper. The importance of zooglea education is critical now more than ever!
