We have multiple mini splits all with condensate pumps. Horrible decision. The pumps — at least 2-3/year — get replaced. They clog, are weak, horribly engineered devices. Can’t believe they still install them. We’ve had water damage over and over again. AC guys want 500 to replace each pump. MONEY PIT. STAY AWAY. Drain by gravity. Pumps are a nightmare, especially if installed in an attic.
Is this similar for an aspen mini lime pump on a Mitsubishi unit.? I need help…. I’ve got a purple orange gray wire…. S1 S2 S3. Which ones go where? The company said the orange doesn’t go to anything and gray and purple go into S1 which would have a total of four wires in it if they were the case……. Doesn’t make sense ..
Ale spierdolone podłączenie kabelków pod śrubki. NIe róbcie tak.
What is the amp rating on the pump? We're required to run 14/4 and the pump wire don't look to be no bigger than 20 gauge.
Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom Fastly.Cool and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!
Question, what kind of condensate tube is that? It looks like it is insulated. I've read in the manual (for the MLZ in my case) that I'm required to use insulated condensate tube.
Any videos of a running condensate pump? I'd like to know how loud a properly installed pump should be
S1 (L) wire? S2 (N)wire?.
Sorry bud piss poor job explaining the wiring. Also other pumps use different colored wires. I’m more confused than before I watched your video.
how far does this thing pump the condensate?
How much more shit can you hide in these mini split units? It’s already very difficult to fit the line set and drain under the unit cover. Easy to install on that bench but that shit will be popping off the wall. Show us how you install it in somebody’s house.
Typical BS, not once has he either made sure that there's real power going to the unit, checked that everything is working correctly and what if the Split system condenser is about 4 meters away and about 2 meters higher than the pooling section of the A/C unit mounted on the wall, i have a Mitsubishi split systems and the condensation pump stopped working just the other week, and now that the water is pooling out of the roof and plastic connection or covering outside the place where the A/c unit was mounted, we require more basic and better understanding of where those pumps are to be placed and what amount of water or condensation can it handle, as far as i can see it looks like a little water pump which could empty a small fish tank full of water before it would over load itself and blow up, which i believe has happened to out unit and we have over 100 Degree days in australia ?
Pump check?
3:20 Whenever you're wrapping stranded wires around a screw, if you twist the strands in the opposite (counter-clockwise) direction (but still wrap the wire around the screw in the clockwise direction), then when you tighten the screw, the strands will not fray.
Ready to start a fire! Have a close look at brown in s2. It moved after you were finished with it, its loose! Oops!
Everything is easy when the unit is on the bench. FFS
Guys, do not break the S3 wire. It will go into a communication lockout. Breaking S2 will do the same. Only break S1. That's the only way for the unit not to lock out and be able to restart.
Why didn't you show where that pump is going? I need to know, please
THESE ARE TERRIBLE, DIFFICULT, MOODY, FINICKY MACHINES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO INSTALL AND SERVICE/TROUBLESHOOT. THEY ARE LEAK PRONE AND SHOULD HAVE STAYED ENTIRELY OVER-SEAS!!
Followed this instruction…now heat does not work…was this instruction for a split system or just for an a/c system?
How would you wire a little giant condensate pump?
Best you dont do wiring! horibble horibble!
Question: I'm installing a Senville (mitsubishi) 36k btu four head system. I live in Western NY where the winters can be bitter cold. Can I run the condensation drain tube directly outside to the exterior condenser unit even this far north? I guess my real question is, WHEN THE UNIT IS IN HEAT MODE, DOES IT PRODUCE ANY CONDENSATION THAT MIGHT FREEZE IN THE TUBE AND CLOG IN WINTER CONDITIONS? Thanks very much!
I am just was about to hook up the electrical portion of one of these S1-30 pumps to a PKA-A36KA. After checking out an online diagram, I had a concern.
Won't the S1 (Yellow) be carrying the full amperage of the complete unit through the detection unit on a 20AWG?? This multiconductor is only 20AWG, where as the existing S1 is 14AWG.
Just like to know if this could be an issue.
I have been very disappointed in the Sauermann Si-30 Pump. The float will get this slime on it in the off season and the unit will just overflow all over the floor until someone turns it off. Also, they are LOUD. The vibrate the whole wall. And it sounds like symphony when its really humid out and they are all pumping. In the living room, I wen with a DiversiTech ClearVue™ Cube. The ClearVue™ Cube has a larger tank and only pumps %10 of the time the others do. It also doesn't use a float. I am looking to see how the ClearVue™ Mini is for my other units. Any thoughts from you guys?
Have you ever actually installed this pump behind a wall mounted unit? It is impossible to fit the lineset, drain, pump, and resivour behind the unit and clip it to the back plate. If you know of a way, I'm open for advice
This is the proper way of wiring any of the mini pumps. With the wiring for these pumps, you always break the S1 wire which is one leg of AC feeding indoor unit that will drop out the indoor unit. If you use the S3 wire, the float/contact in the pump control board will cause a communication fault. That is why we break S1 wire. Plus the wires for the pumps are UL listed and approved for the manufacture of the pumps.
