Outland Air Conditioner Pan Cleaner Tablets

Very easy to use , does great job on keeping ac clean . We buy this all the time for ours

Keeps my window AC unclog and it has a little fresh smell cleaning to it when you put the tablet in the AC and it starts to dissolve you can smell the fresh smell the tablet gives off in the AC air and the air gets much cooler very cold

Thought they would be stronger, Frequency of having to use them is just too much considering cost of product over all. Product did work well.

These tablets with they keep the drain unclogged

These are 'quat' tablets, the same as you can buy at a hardware store or HVAC place. They come in different sizes, but they're basically all the same, as far as I've seen. The quaternary ammonia salt active ingredient is basically the same, and it's also found in algaecides for ponds and rain barrels and fountains, and so on.This product is often sold as non-toxic, and it sort of is, but also really not. This is one of those semantic things that depends on regulations. All you have to do is look at the instructions that come with these, and it basically says POISON over and over.Quat tablets MIGHT irritate your skin, and some people have allergic reactions to it. Why not wear gloves? Or put a plastic bag over your hand? Make sure your hands are at least dry. Avoid inhaling any dust from these. For the love of god, don't swallow one, or let your dog swallow one, or a child swallow one. They do look like candy. Wash your hands, don't touch your eyes, common sense stuff.On the other hand, a lot of HVAC workers handle these things regularly and never notice a problem. And apparently putting one in the drip pan under your refrigerator will not cause quat fumes to spread through your house, or anything. We use these in our window A/C drip pan, which greatly cuts down on a funky odor there, and under the fridge, which (and this took a long time to track down) was periodically blowing urine-smelling air out behind the refrigerator, to gradually percolate everywhere and make our cats look bad. One tablet fixes that just fine.However, how long a table *lasts* can vary a whole lot. Basically, they slowly dissolve when they get wet. The A/C produces a fair bit of moisture and then dumps it outside, bit by bit, and so a tablet in the A/C drip pan lasts about a month. Under the fridge, at least three months, maybe six. Mileage varies.This package isn't a bad price, but you can buy a bottle of fifty of these things, if you're going through them surprisingly quickly. But note that the more you have in one container, the more dust will build up as they gradually abrade each other. Don't breathe the dust. Also, whatever your A/C is dripping on will become somewhat insect and fish-toxic, although rain should dilute it.

I bought these after reading the reviews on Amazon. I have a Frigidaire 12,000 BTU window a/c unit. It's not even two years old yet, but back in the fall I noticed an odor that smelled like old socks. I was very worried that it might be mold growing in the styrofoam insulation in the unit. I was relieved when I finally figured out that it was the stale smell of water sitting in the pan. Apparently, Frigidaire a/c's build up the water in order to help the fan with the cooling. It does work, but I found that occassionally wicking out the water and letting it dry out, as well as cleaning the coils with Evaporator Foam, really keeps it smelling fresh. But if I let the water sit there, the smelly feet odor reappears. I didn't want to have to go through this cleaning cycle every week or so, and that's when I went looking for a solution and discovered these tablets.I cleaned the unit with the Evaporator Foam and wicked out the water, let it dry, then put in two tablets per instructions. I've run the unit since then and am very pleased that the tablets seem to be doing the job as the smell of old socks is finally gone. These are very inexpensive and seem like they last a long time, so definitely a good buy all around. I highly recommend them.

This has not helped with the smell from the standing water. Will not buy again

these tablets do work well. put two in a condensate pan about every 4-5 months and they keep the water clean.
