62 customers mention43 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the water resistance of the water pump. Some mention that it pumps right to a drain and there's no more water on the floor. It also pumps the reservoir almost dry each time, so it runs less often. However, others say that it collects the condensed moisture and pumps it outside. That said, opinions are mixed.

"...tubing, but the pump unit works exactly as it should and no more water on my basement floor!" Read more

"...I like the feature with the high water level, that could be wired up to stop the compressor if the pump becomes blocked or fails." Read more

"...This pump will work well for any excess water that accumulates over time from a furnace or dehumidifier to pump the water elsewhere...." Read more

55 customers mention9 positive46 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the water pump. They mention that the C unit developed a crack and water was leaking. The motor had seized, and some water back-flowed over time. The check valve leaks back into the tank, and the water drains around 4 times per week. The condensate pump was overflowing with water, which means the tubing is always filled with water. When these go bad, it will cause a small flood.

"...STILL working but the plastic was so old it cracked and was leaking from the water tank." Read more

"...I'm deducting a star because the check valve leaks back into the tank...." Read more

"...My installation was riddled with errors. No wonder it has been leaking for years...." Read more

"...Looking closer the condensate pump was overflowing with water. After checking fuses I determined the pump is bad...." Read more

Great for pumping discharge water from a commercial ice maker
5 Stars
Great for pumping discharge water from a commercial ice maker
We have a commercial ice maker with a gravity fed drain line and no where to drain the water. I was running a drain tube from the ice maker through an interior and exterior wall into 5 gallon buckets outside but I had to empty the buckets every 2 hours. What a pain to carry 5 gallon buckets of water across the yard so I could water our bushes with the drain water.I installed this Little Giant, rerouted the drain line into the pump, and put a garden hose quick connect fitting outside. I put a piece of PVC in the pump storage tank to ensure the ice maker drain line doesn't accidentally come out of the pump. When I'm making ice I connect the drain line to 120' of garden hose and place the end of the hose into the bushes. Now all I have to do is move the garden hose to water different areas.I've been using this set-up for over 2 months with no problems other than the drain water is really cold which causes condensation on the Little Giant storage tank hence the glass tray the Little Giant sits in. I haven't hooked up a high water alarm to the pump yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works, not loud when discharging water, easy to install
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024
1. Works
2. Not loud when discharging water and only stays on long enough to empty out water, almost 10 seconds
easy to install.
3. NO tools required, just put back the PVC drain pipe and put the discharge hose back on, the pump comes with the connector to slide the rubber tubing on with ridges on it to keep it on tight, but I did use Tie Wraps for extra protection to keep the hose from slipping off, probably not needed.
4. Empties pretty much most all of the water when float turns on the pump to discharge the water, stays on several seconds to get all water out.
5. I stuck finger down inside water container and it was full and when pump discharged the water, it was empty, and my discharge copper pipe is long and goes UP from foundation floor, UP inside the A/C closet, UP through the attic and comes down outside at bottom of foundation.
6. It shoots the water out of the 50' copper pipe with lots of pressure to empty the copper pipe completely.
7. LONGEVITY??????????? Just put it in today, we will see, the one I replaced was working for the last 25+ years, and is STILL working but the plastic was so old it cracked and was leaking from the water tank.
