Instead of using heat energy to remove condensate run off from the evaporator coil a condensate pump
moves the water to a nearby drain.
•
The Condensate Pump is provided with 50ft of clear 1/2in OD x 3/8in ID tubing that must be run out of
the base area to a drain.
•
There are several drain tube exit locations provided in the base as noted in the drawing above. Plugs or
caps will need to be removed in the desired exit location.
•
The hose can be run the entire 50ft in any direction as required, but no higher than 20ft from the
pump base. A check valve is provided in the pump to prevent water from flowing back into the
reservoir. For best efficiency extend the hose level below the level of the pump base to create a
siphoning effect. Never run the hose to or through an area below freezing (32°F, 0°C) or freezing water
will block the tube.
