How does iFLO® work?
How does iFLO® work?
The iFLO® Smart device connects to your Wi-Fi, identifies your geographic location, and receives weather feed from the weather API to determine the temperature and humidity in the location of your device. This happens upon set up and monitors the weather continuously for spikes in temperature and humidity.
Based upon this information, iFLO® sets up a customized dispense schedule to dispense approximately 6 oz of our proprietary formula every 2 weeks to ensure that your drain pan and drain line are clean and clear. Each 36 oz iFLO® cleaner cartridge will last from 3 to 6 months depending on your temperature and humidity.
iFLO® is the ONLY automated device that can put a cleaning solution directly into your drain pan. Unlike bleach, chlorine tablets, or vinegar which can corrode your A/C parts, the iFLO® cleaner solution is 100% safe and effective and is guaranteed to NEVER damage your A/C.
With iFLO® there is also no need to ever remove the front panel of your A/C to throw in tablets or dangerous chemicals.
Since iFLO® dispenses automatically, whether you’re home, on a trip, or away for an extended period you never have to worry about your A/C clogging again. iFLO® gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

Why do my iFLO® device lights turn off after setup and installation?
Why do my iFLO® device lights turn off after setup and installation?
Your device lights are most important during the setup and installation of your iFLO device. It is normal that they shut off after your device is setup and it does not mean there is an issue with your device.
After installation, the device lights function as a method of communication from your device to your app to the server.
A few examples of when they will illuminate; when getting ready for a dispense, if your battery is low or if you need a new bottle. Otherwise, they will remain in their battery-saving mode.
Can I connect iFLO® if my drain line is one-inch thick?
Can I connect iFLO® if my drain line is one-inch thick?
Yes iFLO will work for you if you have a one-inch pipe. The iFLO kit provides two different adaptors: an open and closed drain line adaptor.
The open drain line adaptor is a tiered plastic adaptor that will fit on a one-inch drain line.
The closed drain line adaptor can fit a one-inch drain line but will require extra force to snap in place. While this is the preferred method for installing iFLO, if you are working with a one-inch pipe we recommend testing this fitting before drilling into your drain line.

What is the difference between the iFLO® Extreme cartridge and the regular 36oz refill cartridge?
What is the difference between the iFLO® Extreme cartridge and the regular 36oz refill cartridge?
The 36oz iFLO Extreme and 36oz Drain Line Cleaner Refill are the same size bottle and contain the same amount of solution. The differences between these solutions are the chemical formulations and dispense cycles. The iFLO Extreme formula is a higher concentrated solution and requires less dispenses per cycle. The regular iFLO refill formula has different concentration level and requires to dispense more frequently to keep and maintain the Zoogloea from building up inside your drain line.
What is Zoogloea?
What is Zoogloea?
Zoogloea (also known as elephant snot) is a thick, slimy, sticky bacteria that forms in your AC drain line and drain pan. Over time Zoogloea will cause your AC unit to stop working and potentially create overflow, leaks, and damage in your home. iFLO® dispenses a proprietary cleaning solution, which reduces the Zoogloea build-up and allows our AC unit to function properly.
Feel free to contact support for assistance: 888-979-iFLO(4356)
How does iFLO® prevent Zoogloea?
How does iFLO® prevent Zoogloea?
