5. Product Features
- Efficient Drainage: Equipped with a 0.5L water tank and a maximum flow rate of 100L/H for effective condensate removal.
- Automatic Operation: Features an automatic start and stop function. The pump activates when the water level reaches the lower probe and drains automatically when the tank is full.
- Quiet Performance: The 5W motor ensures a low operating noise level, as quiet as 22dB, minimizing disturbance.
- High-Level Alert: Includes a water level sensor with two lines that can be connected to the HVAC unit. If a high water level is detected, the switch triggers an automatic shutdown of the AC unit to prevent overflow.
- Durable Construction: Made from excellent PP material, ensuring a non-toxic and odorless product.
- Broad Compatibility: Suitable for various commercial ice makers and HVAC units, including countertop, understage, freestanding, or split systems.

6. Installation and Setup
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your condensate pump. Refer to the diagrams below for guidance.
6.1 Mounting the Pump
The pump should be installed in a location that allows for easy access for maintenance and is close to the condensate drain pan of the HVAC unit. Ensure the pump is level to allow for proper water sensing and drainage.
Figure 6.1: Outline dimensions and typical installation diagram.
6.2 Connecting the Inlet and Outlet Hoses
- Connect the condensate drain line from your HVAC unit to the pump's inlet, which has an approximate diameter of 25mm (0.98in).
- Attach the provided drain hose to the pump's outlet, which has an approximate diameter of 8mm (0.31in). Secure the hose with the provided clamps to prevent leaks.
- Route the drain hose to a suitable drainage point, ensuring a continuous downward slope to prevent backflow. The maximum lift height for the pump is 2 meters (6.56 feet).
6.3 Electrical Connection
- Connect the pump's power cord to a suitable electrical outlet (100-230V 50-60Hz).
- For enhanced safety, connect the two safety switch lines from the condensate pump to your HVAC unit. This connection allows the pump to automatically shut down the AC unit if a high water level is detected, preventing overflow. Consult your HVAC unit's manual for specific wiring instructions for a high-level safety switch.

7. Operating Instructions
The Eujgoov PC-100L condensate pump operates automatically once properly installed and powered.
- Ensure the pump is connected to power and the HVAC unit is operating.
- As condensate water collects in the pump's reservoir, the water level will rise.
- When the water level reaches the lower probe, the pump will automatically activate and begin discharging the water through the outlet hose.
- The pump will continue to operate until the water level drops below the sensor, at which point it will automatically shut off.
- In the event of a malfunction or blockage causing the water level to rise excessively, the high-level sensor will trigger, and if connected, will shut down the associated HVAC unit to prevent overflow.
8. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the efficient and reliable operation of your condensate pump.
- Monthly Inspection: Check the pump, inlet, and outlet hoses for any signs of leaks, blockages, or damage.
- Cleaning the Reservoir: Periodically clean the pump's reservoir to prevent the buildup of sludge, algae, or debris. Disconnect power before cleaning. Remove the cover and carefully clean the inside of the tank and the float switch mechanism with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Check Hoses: Ensure the inlet and outlet hoses are free from kinks and obstructions.
- Test Operation: After cleaning or maintenance, pour a small amount of water into the reservoir to verify that the pump activates and drains correctly.
9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your condensate pump, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not turn on | No power; Float switch stuck; Motor failure | Check power connection; Clean reservoir and free float; Contact support if motor fails. |
| Pump runs continuously | Float switch stuck; Inlet/outlet blockage; Air leak in suction line | Clean reservoir and free float; Clear blockages; Check hose connections. |
| Water overflow from reservoir | Pump not operating; Outlet hose blocked; Pump capacity exceeded | Refer to 'Pump does not turn on'; Clear outlet hose; Ensure pump is suitable for AC unit size. |
| Excessive noise during operation | Debris in pump; Pump not level; Worn motor bearings | Clean pump interior; Ensure pump is on a level surface; Contact support for motor issues. |
