Questions & Answers

What's the difference between ProTreat 200 and 217?

The PT-101 is frequently asked about this. The number 217 refers to the 'economy' version. The PT-100 is a 7-gram tablet, while the PT-100 is a 10-gram tablet. Their most basic product is the 200, which comes with a 2. Tablet with a weight of 0 grams. We, for one, don't notice a difference in performance.

What makes this product different from Pro Treat 151?

The PT151 is a PT-registered product with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). PT-217 and PT-217 are two terms that are used interchangeably. This is not the case with 200 pantabs.

On the lid, what date is it? Is there a date on it?

There is no time limit on how long you can keep the item. To keep the pantabs from absorbing moisture from the air, keep it tightly sealed. A lot or Manufactured / Packaged on date is the date code you're looking for.

Message to the vendor: Is it safe to use for a condensate pump in an HVAC system (it has a small 1/2 gallon reservoir)? or would the pump be harmed by the concentration/pH?

Yes, we use PanTabs (PT-1) that are very similar to yours. In our own pumps, we have a total of 151).

Selected User Reviews For DiversiTech PROTREAT-217 Economy Drain Pan Treatment 200 Tablets

I followed the directions and the product had no effect
3/5

In fact, I used more tablets than the manufacturer suggested. Slime and mold continued to grow in my catch pan, causing water to overflow into the air plenum, destroying the insulation, and then onto the garage floor, destroying everything. br>br>This type of product is simple to rate: if it works, it gets five stars; if it doesn't, it gets one star. There is no such thing as "sorta working," as things either work or don't, and this one doesn't.

Great value and performs admirably, preventing algae and other contaminants from entering the HVAC system
5/5

Twice a year, during a routine maintenance visit, the technician who is dispatched to my home tries to persuade me to pay an exorbitant fee for an "algecide" treatment that is not covered by my service plan. It's something I always decline. I asked him what it was the last time I saw him. He told me about this product and showed me a picture of it on his phone, along with instructions on how to use it if I bought it myself. So I decided to give it a shot. It's simple to operate. Simply put 10 to 12 in the pan where the coil sits every 6 months for my system. You can also put a couple in your condensate pump every couple of months if you have one. It aids in the maintenance of your heating and air conditioning system. br>br>This 200ct bottle is a great deal, especially when compared to what a professional would charge.

This is a must if you want your air conditioner to stay in good working order
5/5

These tablets were used to clear out a clogged air conditioning system. As directed, 3 tablets per ton were poured in. I was able to see it in action within minutes. The AC condensate pan line became unclogged as blue colored water began to drain from the pipe. It saved me a lot of time, money, and aggravation. I'll keep using these tablets on a monthly basis to keep the AC line clear of gunk. Particularly recommended for residents of Florida, where the air conditioning is constantly on. Definitely a good investment. These, along with the DIY Vac adapter, were used to suction out any gunk that had clogged the pipe.

Keep an eye on that date and/or use it more often
4/5

When I first received my shipment, the date was several months old, so I contacted the manufacturer, who informed me that the date laser-etched on the lid is the manufacturing date. When I inquired about the typical expiration date, their technician replied, "one year. " br>br>Because I wouldn't be able to go through that many tablets in the few months left, Amazon was gracious enough to replace them with some from a later manufacturing date. br>br>However, a few days later, I spoke with an A/C technician who said that, while that is the standard response, this is why, during treatment, he simply inserts a few more tablets because the tablets still work, albeit not as well. br>br>That's helpful information.

Mold and mildew prevention in a new apartment
3/5

Because my air handler is new, it's too soon to tell if this product works. This was purchased as a preventative measure because mold and mildew had previously accumulated in the PVC condensation lines, and the AC system installer strongly recommended this product.

My air conditioning service company recommended it
5/5

These algae treatment tablets were recommended by my air conditioning service company, and they were the cheapest I could find. The delivery was quicker than expected, and I plan to use them as directed to keep my air conditioner drain pan clean.

They carry out their duties effectively
5/5

These were recommended to me by my air conditioning technician. They are far superior to bleach and vinegar in terms of effectiveness.
