Little Giant Condensate Pumps

The Little Giant Pump Company condensate removal pump units are used as wastewater drain pumps for ice makers, beverage dispensers, drinking fountains, water coolers and dehumidifiers. Condensate is produced at a rate of up to a gallon per hour by a residential central air conditioning unit or gas condensing furnace. The installer will feed the condensate from the appliance drain into one of the pumps inlet ports. A discharge tubing is connected to the pump check valve, leading to a drain line, sump, french drain or laundry sink. The "Lift" or "Head" of the pump refers to the height the pump is required to "lift" the water up to the drain. The distance the water needs to travel horizontally once the lift is achieved is referred to as the "Run". The "run" does not effect the lift or flow rate of the pump unless it exceeds 50 feet. "Runs" of 50' or more will decrease pump output by about 10%. All installations should have the auxiliary safety switch properly wired auxiliary safety switch to shut down the appliance in the event of a pump overflow. Pump overflow can be caused by a blocked discharge line, power loss to the pump, or pump malfunction. The switch can be wired in-line with the thermostat to shut down the appliance; or wired directly to an alarm.
