Do you have to use this on just the flex hose on the back of your dryer or can you run it thru the lint filter inside the dryer?

It did not fit inside my dryer. I was able to clean that with the vacuum cleaner. I used the Deflecto to clean the vertical pipe that ran from the floor behind the dryer up through the wall to the ceiling, as well as the horizontal pipe that ran above the ceiling from the outside vent to the top of the vertical pipe. Both pipes were about 8' long and were joined with a 90 degree ell. The Deflecto did a perfect job cleaning both sections of the pipe.

I pulled the dryer out. Removed the flexible hose and cleaned it with the tool outside, as a great deal of lent and dust came out. I then ran it through the vent pipe going from the wall near the dryer and under my kitchen floor to the outside vent. I actually disconnected the pipe into two section and brought them into the back yard due to all of the lent and dust. I do not think it was made to go though the dryer itself. I ran my vacuum hose up into the dryer vent from the back and from the lent trap.

You can use this product for either method you described. The brush head is very flexible and can be compacted into small spaces to include the dryer lint catch. You can even use it to clean out the under carriage of your refrigerator as this is another area that builds up lint, dust, and hair.

I used it primarily to clear the flex hose, I have about a 12 feet run with an accessible coupling in the middle. The bristles are quite soft and pliable so you may be able to run it thro' the filter channel inside the machine. I think if I was to try this I would feed it by hand into the machine rather than spin it up with an electric drill, that way you can detect if it will get caught up anywhere. I would guess that the minimum opening that you could safely ut this brush into would be 2" diameter. I hope it works for you.

My dryer came with a defuser. However, I had a couple of others that did not fit, they were too big for the end of it.

The lint trap is located at the back of the dryer "drum" when you open the dryer front door. If you slip your fingers behind the plastic filter/lint trap in the back you can gently pop it off the circular plug which attaches it to the dryer drum. It really is more of a filter than a "trap". Just run the felt like filter under cold water occasionally and then place it back on the plastic holder and pop it back into place.

Boy you know right now I am probably NOT the person to answer this as I have had some "issues" that I am trying? to get resolved BUT I will TRY and help you do that task, hmmmm I found that using a damp cloth is the best for the "paper" kinda filter and the plastic one well I am sure you know you just grab the lint and ball it up GOOD LUCK!!

I had a filter drier in a tight spot (in the form of a U shape between the compressor and condenser coil). Well I was able to cut it out with a tube cutter and place it back between the compressor and condenser by expanding the cut ends and sweating them back in the lines. It saved much time and effort from me removing the coil. And I was able to sweat the filter drier in perfectly while not in between the compressor and coil.

NO. A vacuum cleaner is NOT used. The clothes drier is run empty on an air cycle. The rods and a brush (included) with the basic kit, that attach to the end of the assembled rods, are attached at the other end to an electric or cordless power drill. While the drill is "ON" and is turning the rods and the turning brush at the end of rods is slowly fed from the external terminal vent opening for the clothes drier, towards the drier itself. The accumulated lint is broken up by the brush, and the powerful drier exhaust air flow blows the lint particles out through the exhaust vent. The extension rods are added incrementally as the brush is pushed up the duct and "fed" toward the drier. This process will clean out the drier duct very quickly. You may use or need a vacuum (or a broom, or a rake) to help clean up the lint particles that come out of of the drier exhaust vent. The whole process takes 10-15 minutes.

I used it with rigid PVC on a pool filter, but assuming the flex PVC has the same OD as rigid PVC; it would attach the same - use PVC primer, adhesive and slip together.

I haven't had that problem. My dryer is only 5 yrs. old and the filter catches almost all the lint. The vent doesn't have a filter in it. Sounds like the dryer is the problem.

Dryer vent hose/duct hose and a hose clamp similar to a radiator hose clamp. Best of luck!

the water and the filter do a good job of catching the dust and lint if they are kept clean so things do not over heat. As to the humidity , it has to go somewhere whether it is a vent less dryer you now have or a vented dryer. In our case we are in Hawaii and can open a window or two to let the humidity out of our condo unit.

I found it really difficult to use on my dryer with the same type of front lint screen, but my dryer is stacked on top of the washer so it may just be that it is too high for me to get in to. If your dryer is lower where you can see what you're doing it might be better, but the handle is long so it will probably be akward -- you keep hitting the front of the outside of the dryer and can't really maneuver the brush into all the nooks and crannies.

Hose hooks into where the vacuum goes. This gives u control of where to vacuum. Yes straight to filter

Makes no difference on a hose reel. I have flexzilla hoses on all three of my reels outside and although they are pricey hoses, I wish I has spent the money a long time ago.

This is NOT a flex hose. I have never had a flex hose, but hear that they can have issues. This is just a good hose that doesn't get kinks in it very often. Hope this helps.

I bought a piece of flex hose and an adapter that is used to connect RVs to the sewer at campgrounds. Got it at Home Depot. There was a hose connector and hose. I sliipped the connector over the end of my blower and used a single piece of duct tape. Works incredibly well. Without having flex this device is useless

I use the hose from my pool vac. One end is pushed onto the blower and the other goes into the skimmer line. Works great!
