Little GiantVCMA-20ULST 115 Volt, 80 GPH, 1/30 HP Automatic Condensate Removal Pump for HVAC/Refrigeration Systems/Dehumidifers with Overflow Detection Switch and 20-Foot Tubing, White/Black, 554435

Just what we needed. Works great. Easy to install.

I recently installed a "plumbed-in" icemaker. This Icemaker requires a condensate pump to help remove the melted ice water. I selected a Little Giant pump--and it runs quickly (approx. 5 seconds--to lift all the water collected), makes very little noise and easily lifts the water to a utility sink drain (about 4ft). I am VERY impressed with the quality and the price was reasonable for the expected long life these units normally provide.If you are looking for a condensate pump--this is the best choice you can make. I highly recommend this pump. Small, works well--no maintenance ever needed. Plug it in and forget it.

Works well. Would buy again.

This pump arrangement offers a turnkey solution to a problem I have been avoiding for years. Overall, it is a well thought out system which allows for easy installation, and the pump operates quietly and efficiently. For those who are contemplating the addition of a condensate pump system, I can offer these observations; I was shocked at how much moisture a relatively new furnace puts out. From looking at the drip line, I thought for years it was only a cupful a day. I was wrong. When you combine the amount given off by the furnace with the huge quantity produced in hot weather with high humidity by the air conditioner, you have a big moisture issue which can lead to mold and mildew, as well as attract insects and tree roots.Features: This pump is a self contained system which is simple to mount and operate. The internal float allows for automatic operation, and there is also an additional overflow switch which can be hooked to an alarm for overflow conditions. The top half rests on the mounted reservoir without the need for screws or latches. To mount, you simply position the bottom reservoir and drill 2 holes. The box must be relatively level for good float operation.As far as dislikes, one minor complaint would be capacity; had I been more aware of the amount of water the furnace put off, I might have searched for something a little larger, but the nice thing is that the compact size makes for convenient mounting. My biggest complaint is the quality of the reservoir, which is made from a type of plastic that I feel may be a bit brittle for this application. The mounting ears seem like the weak point, as they are built in to the brown reservoir. All of this might be academic except for the fact that the unit will require cleaning from time to time. This means popping the top portion away from the bottom, and likely flexing those little mounting ears each time.Overall, this is a neat, self-contained system that solves a problem at low cost and effort.

I seriously almost paid an HVAC person a few hundred dollars. And this product save me so much money.Moved into a new house and after turning the furnace on, I could hear the super loud irritating sound from an entire floor above the furnace room. I assessed that it was the pump that was going out and I ordered this on Amazon, then crossed my fingers. After a quick YouTube of how to replace it. I honestly had this fixed in about 15 minutes and the old one removed/the new one installed.Pro:Super quietSo easy to installSeems to be the same quality as the one that was professionally installed beforeThe pump works much smoother than my previous oneI don’t see any drips and water retention seems to work wonderfullyCon:I think I wish it came with a couple zip ties to re-fasten the plug plug-in/water outlet pipe.I wish it came with another plug to cover the holes that are not used on the top just to keep more bugs and dust out of the pumpHonestly, a really great product for a great price! This thing saved me like $350 versus hiring an HVAC person to come swap it out…

So far so good, installed today. Just FYI, if you're installing yourself and you have to hardwire it, the BLUE wire is the common and the BROWN wire is the hot and then green/yellow for ground of course. This specific one has a plug, the directions don't show you how to hard wire it. I cut the plug off and wired it into the circuit. All works great!

The 5 stars are for the 30+ yr. old Little Giant pump I just replaced. Never a problem until it started squeeling when running. It never got emptied or cleaned in all it's years. I will be very happy if this new Little Giant performs as well. It is plug & play if you have an outlet nearby.
