The condensate pump is equipped with metal mounting tabs which allow the
tank to be screwed to a wall or equipment side panel. The screw-to-screw
distance is 8”. When mounting into drywall or concrete walls the screws must
have anchors which provide the necessary support in the wall material.
The pump top is reversible. It may be turned around to allow easy access to
the pump outlet, pan tab tray or power connection as may be required by
the particular installation.
4 inlet holes are located in the top deck of the pump. Flexible vinyl tubing
or PVC may be connected to any of the pump inlets. Pop out covers are
provided to cover unused inlets. Be sure to cover the unused holes to
prevent the pump from collecting debris or insects.
Tubing installed into the inlet holes must be straight. The tubing must not
bend inward where it will interfere with the pump or float mechanism.
When using rigid tubing such as PVC, be sure to cut the end at an angle.
This will allow the condensate water to drain freely and keep the tubing
end from being blocked by the tank bottom.
It may be desirable to use a “P” or “U” trap between the AC unit and the
condensate pump to provide a liquid barrier to air flow from the air condi-
tioner. These types of “traps” always contain some water which blocks the
flow of air from the AC unit which is wasteful and can cause other prob-
lems such as accelerated algae growth.
The pump is equipped with a combination barb-type fitting and check
valve. The fitting allows the connection of 3/8” flexible vinyl tubing such as
DiversiTech “CVT” clear vinyl. Attach the tubing by pressing it over the
barb fitting and secure with a screw type hose clamp.
Route the tubing up and away from the pump; avoid compressing or
kinking the tubing. The tube route should be the shortest possible distance
from the pump to the building exterior or other drain location. For best
results the distance that the water must go UP should be shorter than the
distance that it goes DOWN. With the longer DOWN tubing, the length will
help siphon the condensate from the tank, speeding the pump out time.
The pump features a dispenser which holds DiversiTech Pro-Treat pan
treatment tablets. The dispenser may be filled with multiple tablets to aid in
keeping the pump, tank and outlet tubing slime free.
Connect the pump power to a properly grounded outlet capable of
providing power that exceeds the requirements listed on the pump name-
plate. Avoid the use of extension cords wherever possible. The pump must
be operated by a continuous source of power and must not be connected
to switched outlets or other power supplies that may be inadvertently or
automatically turned off.
