An accompanying graph illustrates the output flow rate at total head, with a tip explaining that total head is the height from the reservoir to the top of the pump outlet pipe.

Información de seguridad

• Ensure the pump is installed vertically on a flat surface or wall.
• Do not submerge the pump. It is a non-submersible pump.
• Desconecte siempre la alimentación antes de realizar cualquier mantenimiento o instalación.
• The high-level safety switch should be connected to the HVAC equipment to prevent overflow by cutting off power.
• Avoid blocking the air vents around the motor housing.
• For first-time installation, manually fill the water tank to ensure the pump operates correctly.
• If connecting to multiple appliances, ensure the total inflow does not exceed the pump's rated output.

Configuración e instalación

1. Desembalaje: Retire con cuidado la bomba y todos los accesorios del embalaje. Inspeccione si presentan daños.
2. Remove Red Cushioning Pad: Before first use, locate and remove the red cushioning pad from the float switch area to ensure proper float switch operation.

3. Posicionamiento: Place the pump on a flat, level surface indoors, or mount it vertically on a wall using the designated wall mounting points.
4. Install Inlet Filter: Insert the metal filter basket into one of the 1" inlet openings to filter out debris and prevent clogging.

5. Connect Inlet Tubing: Connect the condensate drain line(s) from your HVAC unit, dehumidifier, or other appliance to one or more of the five 1" inlet ports. Use the provided silicone adapter for 3/4" PVC pipes/hoses if needed.
6. Connect Outlet Tubing: Attach appropriate tubing (1/4" to 3/8" I.D.) to the 2/5" O.D. barbed outlet. Ensure the connection is secure and use a zip tie (included) to tighten it. The built-in check valve prevents backflow.

7. Route Outlet Tubing: Route the outlet tubing to a suitable drain location, ensuring it has a continuous downward slope or is within the pump's maximum lifting height of 16 feet.
8. Connect Safety Switch: Connect the two lead wires of the high-level safety switch to your HVAC equipment's thermostat circuit. This will automatically shut off the appliance if the water level in the pump's reservoir becomes too high, preventing overflow.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento

• The pump operates automatically based on the water level in its reservoir.
• The pump will start when the water level reaches approximately 1.63 inches.
• The pump will stop when the water level drops to approximately 0.9 inches.
• The high-level safety switch provides an additional layer of protection, shutting down the connected appliance if the water level exceeds a safe limit.

Image: A diagram explaining the automatic operation of the pump. It shows that the pump starts when the water level reaches 1.63" and stops at 0.91". A tip mentions that a large capacity tank collects more condensate and reduces start frequency.

Mantenimiento

• Limpieza regular: Clean the reservoir, float, and filter at least every six months to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation.
