    • Great pump at great price point.
Size: 115 Volts
This is my 2nd pump from little giant, my first is humming right along on my heat pump water heater that was installed 4 years ago. This one I processed for my dehumidifier. I will say it does the job, hook up 3/8 drain line ,power and the optional cutoff wiring. The pump keeps up with an 80 pint dehumidifier without issue. ... show more

This is a very nice pump. It does a good job and it is very quiet. It is priced very good and well worth the money. Easy to install. Only took me about 15 minutes to remove the old pump and install the new one. Everything matched right up. No modifications had to be made. I give this pump 5 stars and I would buy it again. ... show more

    • FIVE STARS for Durability & IMP Installation Notes
Size: 115 Volts
First, the crap and gunk that this unit battled - I am amazed that it was still running. Here are some notes from my experience:- + DON'T ASSUME THE PUMP TANK IS CLEANED WITH ANNUAL OR PERIODIC SERVICES. Many companies (I have experience with a fairly wide range) will do just enough to clear the lines and keep the unit functioning. Not once have any of the companies *ever* cleaned this tank. + DON'T ASSUME THE PUMP IS REPLACED WHEN THE FURNACE IS REPLACED. We had a huge, new Lennox system installed and the not inexpensive, certified installers just left the old pump in place. If the photo wasn't so terrible, I'd attach it. Cannot believe this Little Giant battled through. + DRAIN LINE. There was so much gunk in the unit that the line out was also full of sediments. I replaced it based on guidance from amazon contributors. It was not at all difficult. I think you will do much more for your own unit than someone normally has time to do on a usual service. If you want it replaced, it is probably something you'd have to specially request. + DRAIN LINE CONFIGURATION. There are notes on how to do this given your specific location (rise precedes horizontal run, length, etc.). Mine was twisted, tied so tightly to the pipes that it was constricted in multiple places, and the run configuration was inverted. The Little Giant manual contains relevant info. as well. + REPLACEMENT. For less than $50 it is much, much more economical to replace the pump. There are also many good notes in the reviews -- together with You Tube vids. + INTAKE PIPES. I just knew before I removed the unit, I'd find that the ends of the pipes were not only flat cut, but also almost flush up against the bottom of the tank. A read of the very straightforward installation instructions highlights this as an issue. It's just not something the normal retail customer would even know to check until a water or functional issue develops. Cut at a 45 degree angle. + P TRAP. So important and so often overlooked. Equipment manufacturers may not really focus on these, and service technicians are busy once there's an obvious fail. My installation was riddled with errors. No wonder it has been leaking for years. Every time I asked about it, every co. agent just said, yeah, they do that. Well they do if they are not installed correctly. It is easy to check the levels and venting requirements by reading 1.5 pages of the manual. Risks of improper installation: water damage to the system and area, and worse, distribution of substandard air throughout the house. + MAINTENANCE. The tank needs to be flushed and cleaned regularly. That's IMPORTANT. From what I gleaned, that's a minimum of every 2 years........ but realistically at *least* annually (with that service contract) and possibly more frequently in humid or damp areas. I have friends who are GREAT service technicians. I admire their skills. The thing is that unless you understand the equipment in your own house, it's hard to appreciate those talents -- and also know when someone is lacking. It also helps to do some normal maintenance to preclude issues. Edit: The check valve (and float switch) supplied with the unit are working well; no issue and there is a 10 ft vertical run preceding the inverted U down to the drain entry point. Nevertheless I will cut in a second check valve given the length of the vertical rise. ... show more

    • Well priced. Powerful. A little noisy. Amazing delivery.
Size: 115 Volts
Review Image by Tag
The most remarkable feature of this item was the speed at which it was delivered. Ordered at 4:00 pm and got it by 9:30 pm same day! The A/C system was accumulating 30+ gallons a day so this was much appreciated. Great overall value and power. Relatively easy to install. Noisier and more powerful than previous. Details below: 1. It is more powerful than the previous unit which is great, but it is also is more noisy - which isn't so great. I've added some foam against the wall to muffle some vibration and noise. Choose what you need and limit excess noise. For me, the noise level is probably worth having fewer clogging problems, easily blown out by the more powerful unit. 2. Installation: Mounts easily to the wall on 2 screws and if you are replacing an existing unit, it is easy to set up. There are 3 intake openings and snap-in caps for the ones you don't use. The hose clamp shown on the outtake nipple isn't included and may not be necessary. $1.49 for that extra peace of mind is worth it. This model came with a grounded plug, which I used to test the unit. I later cut off the plug and wired it into the fused shut-off box for the whole A/C system. 3. Reliable switching: The internal switches (attached to floats) come on when an inch or so of water enters and a second switch cuts off the A/C unit via the thermostat when there is too much water in the reservoir. If the motor fails or there is a clog in your pipes, your house will not get flooded. The shut off works great when there is about 3" of water in the reservoir. Typical run time to empty the reservoir is about 5-7 seconds. 4. Quirks: (Which may mean nothing) A. The motor smelled a little oily/smokey for the first 3 days until it broke in. It settled in nicely. The ice cold air from a high efficiency A/C unit creates some condensation on the outside of the reservoir. (See photo) I have not noticed dripping but keep squared plastic shoe container beneath just in case. So far, so good. ... show more

1. Works 2. Not loud when discharging water and only stays on long enough to empty out water, almost 10 seconds easy to install. 3. NO tools required, just put back the PVC drain pipe and put the discharge hose back on, the pump comes with the connector to slide the rubber tubing on with ridges on it to keep it on tight, but I did use Tie Wraps for extra protection to keep the hose from slipping off, probably not needed. 4. Empties pretty much most all of the water when float turns on the pump to discharge the water, stays on several seconds to get all water out. 5. I stuck finger down inside water container and it was full and when pump discharged the water, it was empty, and my discharge copper pipe is long and goes UP from foundation floor, UP inside the A/C closet, UP through the attic and comes down outside at bottom of foundation. 6. It shoots the water out of the 50' copper pipe with lots of pressure to empty the copper pipe completely. 7. LONGEVITY??????????? Just put it in today, we will see, the one I replaced was working for the last 25+ years, and is STILL working but the plastic was so old it cracked and was leaking from the water tank. ... show more

    • It's an easy DIY to replace this yourself and save hundreds of dollars!
Size: 115 Volts
Review Image by sbc2556
My old pump was about 20 years old. Worked every year until I had spring HVAC maintenance yesterday and the technician said that it was dead. He showed me the test, and it wasn't removing water. He quoted me $450 to replace it. I told him that I knew the pumps only cost around $50-$60 on Amazon, but he pointed out that my pump is electrically wired to the furnace for power. So, it involves electrical work. I held off on having him do the work. I thought about it and researched the new units online and realized the pump can operate with a wall charger. So, I purchased it on Amazon this morning; it arrived around 6:00 p.m. I installed it, putting the old PVC tube and hose in the old unit into the new unit, plugged it in, tested it, and it works perfectly! It took 5 minutes! I simply pushed the old unit that's wired to the unit aside. I'll have it removed at some point in the future when I'm getting other work done, but it's not in the way and not a factor. So, I went from a $450 estimate to a $64 pump to resolve the problem! This is a great feeling! ... show more

    • Much easier than emptying water buckets!
Size: 115 Volts
I have been using a portable A/C on 'Dry' mode to help manage the high humidity over the past few weeks. The manufacturer recommends use of a separate drain hose to manage all the water collected in the de humidification process so I used a piece of garden hose as a drain.. Using gallon jugs to catch the water seemed prudent but I underestimated the water the A/C wrings from the damp air. Needless to say, the buckets overflowed a few times and no one was happy about a wet floor! Fast forward to Amazon offering the right size Little Giant condensate pump shipped right to my back door! The pump reservoir holds about a half gallon of water and has three available locations for water intake. Little Giant supplies 2 caps for the inlets in case they are not needed for a particular installation. The discharge port is a nylon barb which accepts 3/8" flex vinyl tubing (also available on Amazon). The pump's power cord is sufficiently long and is the 3 prong grounded type. The pump is relatively quiet; just a soft whirling sound when the pump float rises from the water level. Most likely I will never need to pump 80 gallons per minute but the power is there if ever needed. I have the clear discharge line exiting the room through a small hole I drilled next to the A/C warm air hose. It seems to be the perfect alternative to reminder notes and worries about the A/C water bucket over flowing once again! The entire set up took about 15 minutes, including the time required to find the drill, bit, and battery in my tool room. Oh, don't forget about the cardboard! Little Giant uses a piece of cardboard to keep the float switch from getting damaged during shipment. If the cardboard is not removed during installation, the pump will overflow so remember to remove it! ... show more
