Houston, TX, August 13, 2024 – RectorSeal, a leading manufacturer of quality HVAC/R and plumbing tools and accessories, introduces ClearDrain PVC, which effectively eliminates major contributors to clogged HVAC/R condensate drains. The new product supports RectorSeal’s continued position as a leader in condensate management.
HVAC condensate lines typically become clogged over a relatively short period due to algae and bacteria buildup. Problems related to restricted or clogged condensate lines may include:
- Water overflow—damaging walls, ceilings, and flooring near the HVAC system and may lead to mold growth, wood rot, and other structural damage.
- Improper drainage—leading to water backing up to the evaporator coil and reducing the energy efficiency and performance of the HVAC system.
- Stagnant water—producing foul odors indoors when condensate drains are contaminated with mold, bacteria, and other pollutants.
ClearDrain PVC employs zinc in the manufacturing process, resulting in an inner wall that is smooth and slippery, to prevent the buildup of condensate-clogging growth. Its polymer surface is electrostatically repulsive, offers low surface energy, and protects against bacteria, viruses, molds, biofilm, and other microorganisms with its hydrophobic properties. Tested independently to ISO-22196:2011 Standard, zinc-infused ClearDrain PVC is up to 1,000 times more effective at preventing blockages caused by white slime than a standard SCH40 PVC pipe. ClearDrain PVC is biocide-free and can reduce growth of white slime by up to 98% or higher and reduce the growth of slime-blocking bacteria by up to 99.9% compared to SCH40 PVC pipe.
"Because ClearDrain PVC doesn't lose effectiveness over time, it's a long-lasting solution for HVAC professionals," said Stephanie Welda, Director of Product Marketing at RectorSeal. “With the addition of this new product to our portfolio, RectorSeal has significantly reduced the possibility of white slime and clogged condensate drain lines.”
