INTRODUCTION
Your RTP Tank Pump is designed as an automatic condensate removal pump for water dripping off an air conditioner evaporative coil.
The pump is controlled by a float/switch mechanism which turns the pump on when approximately 2¼
"

Condensate Removal Pumps
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to
cycle several times, collecting condensate in a
separate container to help flush any residual oils
that may remain in the system.
2. Carefully unpack the pump. Remove the cardboard
packing from the motor cover air slots. Carefully
slide the packing away from the pump. This
packing is used to prevent switch movement during
shipment (Figure 1).
3. Mounting the pump: the tank has two slots provided
to mount the unit. The slots are located on the ends
of the tank (Figure 5). The unit should be mounted
either on the side of the air conditioner unit or
nearby wall. Pump must be level and the inlet must
be below the coil drain. Conduit fittings are not
compatible with the plastic pump housing.
4. The pump should not be installed in a manner that
will subject it to splashing or spraying.
5. This pump is not intended for use inside air
plenums.
