Check out the Milwaukee m18 transfer pump. We use it with washing machine hoses and put whatever pvc fitting you need on them to either clear a drain pan and flush out the drain line or just pump it from outside like on a routine maintenance. Works great for our company!
On at least half the HVAC channels I follow, the guys use a transfer pump for this, usually M18. Steve Lavimoniere made a pickup using a metal flange, and even sent one to Ted Cook. Your method is less compact, but would allow the pump or power station to be used elsewhere.
Hey been watching you for a while just hit 4 years in Havc n now I’m an install lead!!! I just want an update on your tool see what I can take from u n put a twist to make it my own
That little pump with the separate battery and inverter is pretty cool. I have the Milwaukee water transfer pump that I use. It’s probably more expensive but gets the job done the same. I have a video where I do almost the same thing.
I set my m18 transfer pump up with a steel washing machine hose and my supco magnetic hose fitting for cooling compressors on the intake, with a 3 foot garden hose with multiple different pvc unions so I can stick that magnetic intake port to the pan and send the water right down the primary drain.
Personally I cut the main drain or use the newer style ss1 switch with the clean out attachment and create a siphon. Like your suggestion at the end of the video. I like less stuff in the attic here in Florida east coast :). Great work sir!
I’m new to the trade and in Canada, are you able to make a video of a good tool bag to have and what you’d carry in it if you were in the install department rather then service? Thank you and love the videos
I have a few questions with each job you complete. I’ve been binge watching your content. Because I’m about to get into the trade. I couldn’t find a email to contact. How do you make the customer buying experience convenient for both the company and customer? You use a website, zelle, mobile app Or check ? Also do you have to use a factoring company?
Good Video ! Great idea. Most Furnaces are 115 volt & are Just plugged into a Receptacle in the attic around here. So, Would not need the M18 inverter in 99% of cases around here. or Personally--- i Prefer the vacuum outside idea. Plug vacuum in outside & Let it suck all the water out. Just make sure you use a 5 gallon wet-vac. The Less Stuff to Lug into an attic the Better !
Yea, He could have just used a Recovery cylinder & Blew a little refrigerant into the cylinder from the high side. would not have taken much more time. but maybe customer did not want to spend the extra cash. You never know circumstances. 6 is not terrible. i worry more about too much superheat rather than to little. compressors like it cold 🥶 not hot. 🥵
@@georgewelker2846 - you have that backwards my fellow HVAC brethren. High indoor temperature will result in higher superheat. The refrigerant will absorb more heat with higher indoor temperature which will result in higher superheat.

Just picked up this pump and playing with different hose setups. The washing machine hose setup is clever!
lol immediately came to the comments to say this

I use a big shop vac outside and use the drainline itself to suck the pan out
2:06 Bro! 😮 That's a great idea! 😃👍

Sheeshh! Nice lil trick there cleaning the pan and unclogging the primary at the same time!? Genius ! A+ sir ! Need this ASAP!
surrounding soil is splashing into those condenser, need some gravel down right there; eleve the units a little bit better.

Appreciate the video. I already have the Top Off, so this will save me some money from buying the M18 transfer pump
Thanks for the tip great video. Shout out from north Carolina
Very smart!
Dig it bro!
Excellent work and video. Thank you.
Well done Zac, a nice job 👍 Au
What is that clear hose your using to take the water from the pan
I’m new to the trade and in Canada, are you able to make a video of a good tool bag to have and what you’d carry in it if you were in the install department rather then service? Thank you and love the videos
Really awesome set up, but what if the drain terminates somewhere within the house and likely into a sewer
Nice work !
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Do you know amp draws of motor. My top off keeps cutting off when i power motor up.
I see you got the new Forge battery 👌
What kind of core depressor are you using?
you coming to orlando in february for AHR??

I like that 18volt To 110 ac outlet
What boots ya wearing ?
Shouldn't we put a float switch in the line?😂
Good Video ! Great idea.

6 degrees of superheat is too low, almost flooding back.

You never know circumstances. 6 is not terrible. i worry more about too much superheat rather than to little. compressors like it cold 🥶 not hot. 🥵
Sometimes 6 degrees is the TSH
Depending on conditions 6* is more than enough. With a very high indoor temperature you will have a low super heat.
