Do you have a recommended PSI level?

Actually, Im sick of coil cleaners. Usually have put the green stuff
on the indoor coils but Im tired of it turning into a "Mr. Bubble"
bath. I shorted 2 motors on 2 Goodman 5 ton horizontal air handlers.
They called about an hour after I left. I replaced them both on my
dime.
The pink acid is just nasty. Bad on rubber roofs and takes a ton of
water to flush all the suds away. Its great if you want to get the
black paint off coils. :-)
Usually I find a garden hose does a very good job.

Replacing motors, that sucks!

The Virginia "green" self rinsing "Acti-Klean" cleaner works pretty well for
evaps. I've never had the "Mr Bubble" effect using it.

I use a garden hose first, then use the NuCalgon "Foam Brite" to help clean
what's left off of condenser coils.

I'm kinda leery of that stuff--no condensate formation on heat pump evaps
during the heating season.
