Description
Moves condensate uphill when gravity will not do it for you
The OptiClimate condensation water lift pump removes the water a climate unit pulls out of the air when the drain cannot simply fall to a gully. A dehumidifying unit produces a serious volume of condensate, and in most rooms the only available drain is above the unit rather than below it.
Key Benefits
- Lifts condensate to a high drain - removes the need to raise the whole unit or cut a floor drain
- Automatic operation - a float switch runs the pump only when there is water to move
- Protects the room - a blocked or overflowing tray is one of the commonest causes of water damage in a sealed room
- Genuine OptiClimate part - matched to the drain connection and the volume the unit produces
A climate unit that has nowhere to drain to
Cooling air below its dew point produces litres of water a day, and it has to go somewhere. Without a fall to a drain the tray backs up, the safety cut-out stops the unit, and the room's temperature and humidity go with it. A lift pump removes the constraint entirely.
How to Use
- Fitting: connect to the unit's condensate outlet and run the discharge line to the nearest drain
- Discharge line: keep the rise as short as practical and avoid dips that trap water
- Maintenance: clear the inlet filter every few months - condensate carries dust
- Safety: fit the overflow cut-out so the climate unit stops rather than the room flooding
