They Work-But-There is an Alternative...
These tablets work well, but as someone in the service industry, I will give you a hint; the problem is the water in these pumps goes 'stagnant'- in other words, it turn to slimy mess, the minerals cause the water that sits inside the pump to gel up, and regular household bleach, added regularly , will do the same thing. Maybe add 1/4 cup of Bleach mixed in a quart of Water, Add slowly, every month or so, and the pump will be clean as a whistle...and don't forget to clean the drain 'source' of the water, Ice Bin, Walk-in Freezer, A/C unit...these pumps/tubing plug constantly and that's how I make my living, so trust me. This is how I clean/Flush them. Also use the largest tubing you can...smaller tubing clogs MUCH easier.
