Little Giant VCMA-20ULS-230 pump is used in light commercial applications. It is ideal for removing condensate water from air conditioning systems, furnaces and heating & cooling equipment. This pump helps prevent water buildup in these systems, ensuring they operate efficiently and preventing potential water damage.
Working Mechanism:
- As the water level rises, the polypropylene float also rises.
- The float triggers the vertical pump with a stainless steel shaft.
- The pump efficiently removes water through the 3/8 inch barb discharge.
- When the water level drops, the float deactivates the pump.
- This cycle repeats as condensate accumulates, preventing water damage and maintaining system efficiency.
