GOBI II Universal Condensate Pump REFCO 11 GPH HVAC 65 ft Lift Quiet

Description

Product Overview

The REFCO GOBI II universal condensate pump is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern HVAC and dehumidification systems. Constructed from high‑impact white plastic, the pump offers corrosion resistance and long‑term durability while maintaining a lightweight profile of just 1.21 kg. Its digital sensor eliminates traditional float‑based failures, providing reliable water detection and automatic activation. With a maximum flow rate of 0.18 gallons per minute (11 gph) and a lifting capacity of 65.6 feet, the unit can efficiently remove condensate from equipment ranging from 6,000 BTU/h up to 120,000 BTU/h. The low‑noise design operates below 19 dB, ensuring quiet operation in residential or commercial environments. The included kit contains a power cable, alarm cable, anti‑siphon device, star tube, mounting screws, anchors, a factory‑installed alarm fuse, and cable ties, delivering a complete ready‑to‑install solution. In addition, the pump features a built‑in alarm system that notifies users of any blockage or failure, allowing rapid response to prevent water damage. The robust internal impeller is precision‑machined to deliver consistent performance over thousands of operating hours, and the sealed motor housing protects against dust and moisture ingress, extending service life. Designed with a compact footprint of 12.64 × 9.06 × 2.48 inches, the pump can be installed in confined spaces without compromising airflow or accessibility for maintenance. The universal voltage range of 100‑240 V AC ensures compatibility with global power standards, making the GOBI II a truly worldwide solution for condensate management.

Usage

Designed for versatility, the GOBI II pump fits seamlessly into a wide array of indoor air‑conditioning, HVAC, and dehumidifier applications. It can be mounted directly beneath split‑type air‑conditioners, packaged rooftop units, or portable dehumidifiers that generate condensate during normal operation. The pump’s 240 V AC power source and universal voltage compatibility (100‑240 V) allow installation in diverse electrical environments worldwide. Its compact dimensions of 12.64 × 9.06 × 2.48 inches make it suitable for tight spaces, while the 65 ft lift capability enables drainage to remote condensate collection points or building drainage systems. Users in office buildings, hotels, schools, and residential apartments benefit from the pump’s ability to prevent water overflow, mold growth, and equipment corrosion. In commercial settings, the pump can be integrated with building management systems to provide real‑time monitoring and automated alerts, enhancing preventive maintenance programs. For residential applications, the quiet operation ensures that occupants are not disturbed by pump noise, preserving a comfortable indoor environment. The pump’s anti‑siphon device prevents back‑flow, protecting the HVAC system from potential contamination. Installation guidelines recommend positioning the pump on a level surface, securing it with the supplied mounting hardware, and connecting the alarm cable to a visible indicator panel for immediate fault detection. The included star tube distributes condensate evenly across the pump inlet, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring smooth operation even under high humidity conditions. The pump’s adaptability also extends to specialty equipment such as laboratory dehumidifiers, medical‑grade air handling units, and data‑center cooling systems where precise moisture control is critical.

FAQ

What size condensate loads can the GOBI II handle?

The pump is rated for a maximum flow of 0.18 gallons per minute (11 gph) and can lift water up to 65 feet, making it suitable for condensate loads generated by systems from 6,000 BTU/h to 120,000 BTU/h.

Is the pump compatible with both 120 V and 240 V power supplies?

Yes, the GOBI II operates on a universal voltage range of 100‑240 V AC, allowing installation in regions with either 120 V or 240 V mains power without the need for additional transformers.

How does the digital sensor improve reliability compared to traditional float switches?

The digital sensor continuously monitors water level and triggers the pump only when condensate reaches a predefined threshold, eliminating the mechanical wear and false‑trigger issues common with float switches.

Can the pump be installed in a location without direct access to a power outlet?

The included power cable provides sufficient length for most indoor installations, and the pump can be mounted near an existing outlet or connected to a dedicated circuit to meet local electrical codes.

What maintenance is required to keep the pump operating optimally?

Periodic inspection of the anti‑siphon device, cleaning of the inlet screen, and verification of the alarm fuse are recommended. The pump’s self‑diagnostic alarm system will alert users to any performance issues, simplifying routine maintenance.
