Simple Installation. Automatic Drain Maintenance.

 

AC NeverClog is designed for straightforward installation at your home's exterior AC condensate drain outlet.

Follow these 5 simple steps to get started. For detailed instructions, mounting measurements, and controller programming, visit our Complete Installation Guide.

​

Before You Begin

Keep the smart controller unplugged during installation. Identify the primary AC condensate drain line, not the secondary emergency overflow drain, and confirm that an appropriate 120V GFCI-protected outlet is available.

If you're unsure about your condensate drain configuration, consult a qualified HVAC technician.
