Description
Product Overview
The Stropum HVAC condensate pump is engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern climate control systems. Constructed from high‑impact Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the pump housing resists corrosion, chemical exposure, and the wear that can occur in humid environments. The internal motor operates at a modest 3 watts, drawing only 110 volts from a standard corded electric source, which translates to lower operating costs and reduced heat generation. Despite its low power consumption, the pump delivers a maximum lifting height of 33 feet, allowing it to move condensate from low‑lying collection trays to higher drainage points without the need for additional boosters.
Designed for 1‑3 horsepower air conditioning units, the pump integrates seamlessly with dehumidifiers, ice makers, and furnace condensate lines. The included 6.5‑foot tubing and accessories simplify installation, while the compact dimensions—6.6 inches long, 3.7 inches wide, and 3.5 inches high—ensure the unit can be mounted in tight spaces such as utility closets, crawl spaces, or directly on the equipment chassis. The pump’s quiet operation, achieved through precision‑balanced impeller design and insulated housing, keeps noise levels low enough for residential settings where comfort is paramount.
Usage
In residential and light‑commercial applications, the Stropum condensate pump is the ideal solution for managing water produced by air conditioning systems, especially in basements or attics where gravity drainage is insufficient. Homeowners with high‑efficiency furnaces will appreciate the pump’s ability to prevent water accumulation that can lead to mold growth or structural damage. For commercial dehumidifiers operating in warehouses or retail spaces, the pump’s 33‑foot lift capacity ensures that condensate can be routed to remote drainage points, keeping floor areas dry and safe for foot traffic.
The pump also excels in specialty environments such as ice‑making equipment in small‑scale food service operations. By continuously removing melt water, the pump helps maintain product quality and reduces the risk of ice blockages. Its low‑profile design means it can be installed behind equipment panels without obstructing service access, and the absence of batteries eliminates the need for periodic replacement, further reducing maintenance overhead.

FAQ
What size of condensate lines can this pump handle?
The pump is designed for standard 1/4‑inch to 3/8‑inch condensate tubing, which covers the majority of residential and light‑commercial applications. Larger diameters can be used with an appropriate adapter.
Can the pump operate continuously?
Yes, the pump is built for continuous operation. It includes thermal protection that shuts down the motor if temperatures exceed safe limits, then automatically restarts once conditions normalize.
Is the pump compatible with both indoor and outdoor installations?
The pump is intended for indoor use where it can be protected from direct exposure to weather. For outdoor installations, a weather‑proof enclosure is required to shield the unit from rain and UV radiation.
How do I install the pump?
Installation is straightforward: connect the included tubing to the pump inlet, secure the pump to a stable surface using the mounting brackets, attach the outlet tubing to the drainage line, and plug the unit into a standard 110‑volt outlet. Detailed step‑by‑step instructions are provided in the user manual.
What maintenance is required?
Periodic inspection of the inlet screen and tubing for debris is recommended. The pump’s sealed motor requires no routine lubrication, and the ABS housing can be cleaned with a mild detergent if needed.
