Condensate pump

A condensate pump moves water from an AC indoor unit where a continuous gravity drain is not practical.

A condensate pump collects and lifts water produced at an AC indoor unit in cooling or dehumidification mode. It is used where the drain cannot maintain a suitable gravity fall to its discharge point. Pump head, application limits and access depend on the selected equipment.
