    A/C moldy smell remover

    What do you guys use to get rid of the moldy smell when the A/C is turned on? I want to go after the source and clean the coils in the box where the drain hole is located. I'm thinking it's staying moist in there letting the bad stuff grow. Maybe some kind of cleaner (foaming?) that can be sprayed up thru the evaporator case drain hose? (I use a carbon cabin filter but that doesn't solve the issue.)

    I saw that in the AG Store but it appears they don't sell it anymore?

    Oh...I think that got fouled up in the Einzett/Nextzett thing...I'm presuming it will resurface as a Nextzett (I hope!!). In the meantime there is a Kool-It product at that river store that looks similar but I can't vouch for that because I haven't used it. There's also a Nu-Calgon Evap Foam No Rinse, but that doesn't have the snorkel tube.

    Well, that one actually is a bomb, for me I'd prefer to spray it right at the source. It's also out of stock, anyway.

    Einzett/Nextzett website says the ETU version will be back in stock in Dec, while the snorkel model Jan '17.

    Although the Klima-Cleaner would be my first choice, if it's an emergency I wouldn't hesitate to try that Kool-It product, or the Nu-Calgon stuff, if you can get it to spray where you need. Calgon/Nu-Calgon is a well known industrial brand.

    Doh, sorry I guess that wasn't much help.
