Abstract: A device to clear a blockage from a drain line draining condensation from an air handler in an air conditioner or heat pump. A pump with check valves attaches to one end of a drain line which drains condensation from an air handler for an air conditioner or heat pump. A handle on the pump is used to create respectively a vacuum or pressure within the pump which is communicated to the drain line. When sufficient vacuum or pressure is created, it will dislodge a blockage in the drain line allowing the drain line to naturally drain. A valve is placed at one end of the pump which allows accumulated liquid in a collection pan to be pumped from the collection pan in the process of clearing condensation from the air handler.

Abstract: A liquid changer includes a base, a liquid tank, a pump and a changeover valve. The base has two insert grooves for the liquid tank and the pump to fit therein to stand up. The changeover valve is located at one side of the pump. Switching the changeover valve to IN or OUT position can pump out the liquid in the liquid tank or exhaust out the liquid in a container of any other use. Thus the liquid changer can be used in two ways by means of the changeover valve easily switched. In addition, the pump is located outside the liquid tank, increasing liquid volume to be stored in the liquid tank.
