diy mini split condensate pump install  

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) ru-vid.comUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

Hi Tad, i am in the Construction world, and have some certifications in Ac and electric, This video was great, I would have liked it more if you showed everything done and installed, you made reference to above or below or in the one area, For those of us the need to see things !! lol Cam you make a video showing you place the pump and everything all wrapped up ? Thank you sir Have a great day

Thank God I was working on a Samsung and seen this lol you're my hero

Great video. Looking forward to join your channel. Is there any tutorial for how to install high wall split system?

Thank you! Great video

Hello, what maintenance will need this pump? Im afraid if the installer will fit the pump inside the AC unit i wont have access to get it out for maintenance.

Whats the volume of the reservoir and how much water is supposed to be pumped out each cycle? Im finding it goes off every minute and the water output is ~10mls.

What is the point of the 4"/5" tube length coming out the top ofthe float switch? Is it for a breather and to ensure that no fluid escapes from the switch casing? Is the 4"/5" tube length the recommended length for this?

I’ve watched like 3 of these videos from others and they all don’t show the actual install, but the post install. The post install doesn’t help as much.

Thanks

Great Videos! Very Knowledgeable

Question for you! I have this exact condensate pump. Intermittently, it’s making the grinding noise you initiated at :47ish seconds into the video. What can I do?

I do have MIM-AOOUN PCB , how to do condensate pump with it .

Nice video. So when it is time to clean the reservoir out, can you access it without removing the mini split form the wall? Do you just take the plastic decorative cover off of the mini split and access the reservoir from the bottom?

Could this be installed on a mr cool DIY unit? Thanks for the video!

This is excellent. Could you please send the installation manual? Thanks

Could you tell me what type of connector in used on these drain lines? My contractor used electrical tape and obviously it leaked. He claims there are no couplings for the fittings. Thanks for any help.

Can you ever install this pump within the mini split housing itself? On a hard ceiling demo reno job with a condensate main, but they dont want access panels in hard ceiling and dont want to see pump either. Using LG. seems impossible with spacing. Argh

Let us hear the sound of the pump

Hi, thank for the informative video. I have a question about a Mitsubishi Cassette 12k unit I just had installed in our bedroom. I notice a constant noise besides the the fan noise. It's a constant high pitch noise. My installer explained that the ceiling unit has an internal pump that always runs in cool mode and that's what I'm hearing. It's the pump being a pump and it makes some noise. Does that sound right? And is there a way to reduce the noise? Thank you.

Can you make a video on how to install a safe-t-switch model # ss610e please thank you

how long does it take to install one of this pumps? We got an estimate today from a company that says it'll take 3 hours to install....which seems like an exaggerated amount of time to me.

What do I need to do for mini split rough (before we drywall)? Is it rough in box with line set, communicator wire, and drain pipe? We will need a condensate pump, can that be installed after the drywall is hung?

The mini split I'm connecting to is Senville.

Could I install one of these on a portable window air conditioner unit?

Try wire connectors from WAGO they are great

Thks. Taddy, I check the float switch, even the magnetic ring floats, The pump seems still not working. Is it possible to check if there is power to the pump. Also is there any fuse for the pump ? Thks again

I have this exact pump It seems the little tank fills up pretty quick, meaning the pump runs a lot, like every 2 minutes What could cause this? Would a bigger tank help?

Hi I have a question if the pump does not work the AC stopped working

Can I install a mini pump on a large hvac unit? I live in south florida

I believe I need a new pump. Can you tell me how to trouble shoot the actual pump. The float switch is working....just not sure about pump.

what are the difference between the orange and blue aspen condensate pumps? also, is there a way to implement a cut off to prevent the operation of the ac if the drain hose gets clogged or pinched? or sometime the float getting stuck to the bottom of the reservoir? i have a daikin system

I had this exact same pump above the cieling, the reservior was in the unit and the pump failed. Could it be that the distance and the hight difference between the reservior and the pump was too much and the pump ran dry as it couldunt get the water up that high and killed itself? The motor still runs but does not suck the water up anymore. The reservior looked a bit drity but nothing special its only 2 year old. Thanks in advance if you can help :) (I do not want to buy a new pump and have the same thing happen again.)

My sisters Mitsubishi air unit is leaking in her ceiling, and nobody can figure out why?

Any advice on how to reduce the noise the pump makes?

Can we add a wet switch with these units? Or any shut off for that matter.

Hi, i have an almost similar mini orange pump (FP2212). Is it normal, that the pump is very hot even when the AC isn't operating, so the pump must be in standby? It's installed in the attic, and the air is quite hot there

Gracias, puede poner subtítulos Español por favor

What does the anti-siphon component do?

Hi! Can you please tell me about the pump noise. Is it silent/quiet enough for an AC in a bedroom? Thanks!

Hi what colors did you connect into on the plug ??? photo ?

What do you think of the mini blanc? It sits just below my mini split head and only has to go up about 6 inches before draining horizontally and then downslope. But I fear it failing and the safety switch failing.

Dear Taddy. I have a problem with a Blue Aspen Condensate Pump installed in a 18.000BTU minisplit equipment and it makes a weird noise when it actives every 45 seconds. Why it takes 45 seconds to activate? Is it normal? Would you please let me know what might be happening. Thanks a lot in advance.

What can I do if it’s making a loud sound ?

I have three units that I have put a gravity hoses to outside. Why because pumps are shit ! they are noisy, they are crappy and always messing up. A year without hearing the buzz has made me love my splits again. It is a mistake to use these, they also can get stuck and run until the burn up. Shitty design. Stupid just get over it and drill holes and get hoses to outside and let um drain.
