Oops, already invented
Hello! Newbie here. Just started working for a friend who has health issues. And yes, I'm already EPA 608 Universal certified.
Was out on one of my first jobs and came across a FILTHY condenser coil. Went to the big box store to gather some items to build a coil cleaner. Water valve leading a two foot 1/2" CPVC pipe and an elbow with cap and a hole drilled in it.
Guess what I saw today at the supply store while picking up a DIM for a furnace job? Yup! A nicer version of what I built, and probably MUCH more expensive. Didn't even bother to ask the price. Did give me some ideas to improve my design, like adding a few more holes to get a wider spread.

I have used a lot of condenser cleaning wands and this is by far the best. It gets in the tightest spots and has the best cleaning power.

I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

Its worth its weight in gold. They last really well being all aluminum but I loose them somehow so I end up buying one most every year.

desigh, attach it to a garden hose pistol grip nozzle, pointed away from pistol grip, easier to aim.

I discovered some more editing features on YouTube so I uploaded a clip of a mini split condenser stripped down and soaked with Viper HD mixed @ 30/1 dilution and about to get washed. The sound track is to cover my moronic ramble.

Nu calgon blue sure as heck doesn’t foam anymore like it used too. I remember back in the day it would engulf the whole coil. Now it barely gets a froth.

In that case.

I use it with the new calgon foamer I dilute the concentrate down to 1/3 and the foamer to the 10 to 1 setting to get around 30 to 1 dilution for most jobs if it's real bad I'll dump in a little extra viper.
