Sea Flush to clean A/C hoses

[BoaterDave]

I commented on an older post about how great this product was to use for winterizing but I wanted to continue the conversation to ask about cleaning A/C hoses.

I went out over the weekend and it was HOT. My A/C was working but not as well as I remember from past years. Part of the reason I bought the Sea Flush last year was that it could be used to winterize A/C's but also the flush out debris and the snorkel attachment was useful for more than just filling from a bucket, supposedly I can lay up barnacle buster or a similar cleaning agent in it for a couple of hours and it will help get my temps running lower. Has anyone tried this? It seems to be pretty easy to setup and do, so I think this weekend I'll give it a whirl.

Any thoughts or advice? other techniques?
Thanks

Yes it works - i cleaned mine with sea flush this year but...

1. Make certain that the seaflush is sealed with your sea strainer - so try with plain water first
2. Find a STABLE way to hold the seaflush hose as HIGH as possible. I thought I was high enough - but I was not so that caused more leaks at the sea strainer. When I got it 2' above the deck height - it started working as it should. I would find a funnel to "mount mount and seal" on top of the inlet hose as it can be rather "wobbly" if your boat is in the water and other boats pass by. You don't want to spill the acid around your engine room - so use small containers to "fill" it with. Don't wobble around with a 1 gallon bottle....
