Mini-Split Condensate Pump Little Giant EC-1U-DV Dual Voltage White

Description

Product Overview

The Little Giant EC-1U-DV mini‑split condensate pump is engineered to deliver consistent, automatic removal of condensate water from wall‑mounted HVAC units. Constructed from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), the pump resists corrosion and impact, ensuring a long service life even in demanding commercial environments. Its compact footprint—measuring just 11.12″ L × 2.19″ W × 2.19″ H—allows seamless integration into tight spaces without compromising performance.

Designed with dual‑voltage flexibility, the pump operates on either 110 V or 240 V power sources, making it adaptable to a wide range of electrical installations. The 18‑watt motor draws only 0.18 amps, delivering a maximum flow rate of 2.5 gallons per hour at a 1‑foot lift while maintaining energy efficiency. The pump also supports a maximum lifting height of 33 feet, providing ample headroom for multi‑story applications.

Included components feature a 4.9‑foot power cord with stripped leads, a discharge adapter with hose, a reservoir tank, and a white cover that blends discreetly with typical HVAC aesthetics. The high‑water level switch mechanism is built into the reservoir, automatically shutting off the air‑conditioning unit or triggering an alarm when the tank reaches capacity, thereby protecting both the pump and the HVAC system from overflow damage.

With a modest weight of 1.3 pounds, the pump is easy to install and relocate as needed. The product’s UPC (010121020887) and part number (553527) ensure precise identification for inventory management and warranty registration. Certified by Franklin Electric Co., Inc., the pump meets industry standards for safety and reliability.

Customer feedback reflects a solid performance record, with an average rating of 3.4 stars from 48 reviews. Users appreciate the straightforward installation process, the quiet operation, and the dependable water removal capability. The pump’s best‑seller rank—#18 in HVAC Condensate Pumps—highlights its popularity among professionals seeking a cost‑effective, high‑quality solution.

Overall, the Little Giant EC-1U-DV offers a balanced combination of durability, performance, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for both new installations and retrofits in residential, commercial, and light‑industrial settings.

Usage

This condensate pump is perfectly suited for ductless mini‑split air‑conditioner systems commonly found in apartments, hotels, and office spaces. Its automatic operation means the pump continuously monitors the reservoir level and activates only when water is present, eliminating the need for manual intervention. The dual‑voltage capability allows installation in regions with varying electrical standards, simplifying cross‑border deployments.

In environments where space is at a premium, such as rooftop units or confined mechanical rooms, the pump’s compact design ensures it can be mounted discreetly without obstructing other equipment. The 4.9‑foot cord provides sufficient reach to connect to nearby power outlets while maintaining a tidy appearance.

For facilities that require multiple condensate removal points, the pump can be paired with additional reservoirs or integrated into a centralized drainage system using the included discharge adapter. This flexibility supports scalable solutions for larger buildings or multi‑unit installations.

Maintenance personnel benefit from the pump’s user‑friendly design. The reservoir tank can be accessed quickly for cleaning, and the high‑water level switch can be configured to trigger visual or audible alerts, facilitating proactive maintenance schedules. The pump’s low power consumption also contributes to overall energy savings in high‑usage facilities.

Because the pump operates silently, it is ideal for installation in noise‑sensitive areas such as hotel rooms, libraries, or medical facilities where acoustic comfort is a priority. Its reliable performance under both 50 Hz and 60 Hz power frequencies ensures consistent operation across different regions.

FAQ

What electrical voltage does the pump support?

The EC-1U-DV is designed for dual‑voltage operation, accepting either 110 V or 240 V input. This flexibility allows installation in regions with different power standards without requiring a separate transformer.

How much water can the pump move per hour?

The pump delivers a maximum flow rate of 2.5 gallons per hour at a 1‑foot lift. This capacity is sufficient for typical mini‑split condensate loads and can be scaled by adding additional units for larger applications.

Is the pump suitable for continuous operation?

Yes. The pump’s 18‑watt motor is engineered for continuous duty cycles, and its low amperage draw (0.18 A) minimizes heat buildup. The built‑in high‑water level switch further safeguards the system during prolonged use.

Can the high‑water level switch be customized?

Absolutely. The switch can be configured to either shut off the HVAC unit, trigger an audible alarm, activate a visual indicator, or send a signal to an external monitoring system, providing flexibility to match your facility’s safety protocols.

What maintenance is required?

Routine maintenance involves checking the reservoir for debris, ensuring the discharge hose remains clear, and verifying the high‑water level switch functions correctly. The pump’s design allows easy access to the reservoir for quick cleaning, and the low‑power motor requires minimal upkeep.
