Will this help prevent clogging\draining issues?

Yes...if it's caused from the build up of residue from some dishwasher detergents. It cleaned the whitish residue from our dishwasher beautifully. We also used vinegar as directed by a repairman before using this. The repairman advised us to use this product as well.

I agree with MotherKat. It heps keep your drain clean and removes built up residue. I use it at once every 6 weeks unless the dishwasher gets heavy use like over the Xmas Holidays. Good, reliable product. M

Probably not. If cleaning it fixes it, I assume you mean cleaning the impeller, and it will work until it clogs up again, my guess is, based on the iformation you have prvided. The problem would be that the pump is not designed to pump what ever is clogging it. If it works after it is cleaned out the switch would be operative.

Im not an expert, but probably no, you would probably need an industrial strength clog buster from a plumbing supply store. Assuming there isn't some kind of permanent blockage in the pipe.

Not sure I understand the question, but I would say yes. I don't have a garbage disposal and this catches all the food waste and dog hair when I mop and rinse the mop head. I have had no problem with clogged drains in the 27 years I have been in my current house.

We installed & connected everything without an issue - and the entire system has been working flawlessly since it was installed close to a year ago. Something must be wrong - might be time to consider shipping it back or asking them manufacturer to ship out a replacement drain piece. Just an idea. Good Luck!

humm....in my installation NOT much because discharge is above floating line, but only drain back to the pump, the remaining water in the hose (about half quarter o so)....but if where the below floating line you may consider to install a check valve.....hope answer your question.

I dont use the comptessor everyday so, for that reason specifically I drain the condensation evey time I use it. I do not want the water to sit in the tank to potentially cause rust. the drainage practice is simple and only takes a few seconds. well worth the simple effort to help maintain good care of this tool.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

I don't use the hose drain feature, but ti is pretty obvious that there is a blockage... probably just general household dust debris blocking either the drian hole or the hose.

Yes. It works well. I will say this, if the pump stops for any reason, backups can occur through and drain or toilet.

It will help maintain the evaporator drain clean. Always do a good cleaning of the evaporator tray and drainage line, then used the pills to help maintain it clean.

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.

I would recommend you get a filter cooler, and stay away from the RO models. it will be much easier with no ned for a drain line ect...

that sounds reasonable to me, but don't forget to check it every few wash loads. once the filter bag is full, the water will overflow onto the floor. Also, if you bought these because of backups in the past, you might want to spend $100 or so and get good plumber to snake your drain to get it good and clean.

Ok, when mine ran, it ran well. The screen is decent to keep leaves out but might clog quickly outdoors so perhaps you might want to make a prescreen out of hardware cloth or something to keep the big chunks out? If there pump screen does get clogged, it just snaps off for cleaning and impeller access. pressure is good but depending on what you are running by way of a fountain, you might want to check the head loss. If in doubt, always go for a bigger (volume) pump and put a valve in it to slow the flow down if need be. The pump does NOT come with a float switch so you will have to watch if you have a situation where the pump could run dry. Ok, when mine ran, it ran well.

Yes, that is exactly what I have done with mine, although it will clog-up from time to time with small debris.

Sounds like that would work, but we don't have an overflow issue. Maybe yours isn't installed properly.
