That's Interesting. We're not really sure of course what happened.

If you seal it it will no longer work. There should be no conditioned air coming out of that pipe. Nor any other air discharge. <br></p> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2018-07-30 by Jamal</p> <p>The condensate pump has a a white pump coming out of it that goes straight up for about a foot and is uncapped. I assume this is some sort of air intake for the pump. But cool (conditioned) air is escaping from this pipe into the attic.</P> <p> Can i seal or partially seal this pipe to prevent leakage of conditioned air?<br></p> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-10-18 by (mod) - Un-grounded electrical receptacles </p> <p>Totti,<br><br>Un-grounded electrical receptacles are missing a valuable safety feature.

By contrast, if the pump only has to lift one foot, it can remove 65 gph of condensate.<br><br>All of the Little Giant VCMA series condensate pumps will show a ZERO pumping capacity at 20 ft of lift height, so I take it that 15 ft is a practical limit.<br><br>You see there isn't a single fixed lift height number for condensate nor other pumps: higher heights mean lower pumping capacity or rate at which water can be moved.</P> <p> If you have to lift a greater height you need to be sure that your condensate pump's capacity at that height will be more than the maximum (+ safety margin) rate at which condensate is going to be produced by the HVAC system in the most arduous (humid) conditions. <br></p> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-10-09 1 by David</p> <p>What is the highest lift height a common condensate pump can effectively operate at?<br></p> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-08-02 by (mod) - San Antonio TX code on condensate pumps</p> <p>Robert,<br><br>If your existing system has two levels of protection against condenate overflow into the building you may be incompliance with San Antonio HVAC code.</P> <p> Give our local building department a call to describe what you have installed and to ask their opinion.<br><br>Cliff Morton Development and Business Services Center <br/> Development Services Department Map <br/> 1901 South Alamo Street <br/> San Antonio, TX 78204<br><br>Mailing Address <br/> ATTN: Code Enforcement Services <br/> P.O.

Anyhow, there a two 1 1/2" or so holes on the top, one has the pvc pipe drain going into it, but the other is just open with no cover or anything</P> <p> I can see the nasty water inside of it, which I'm about to clean out, and seems the valve may be clogged too. Not sure though, bc my unit isn't cooling the condensate pan is bone dry, therefor so is the plastic drain tube...<br><br> I trailed off a bit, my main question is does the other hole that has no piping to/from it need to be sealed?</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-07-24 by (mod) temporary disposal of condensate when pump fails</P> <p>Kathy<BR><BR>Sure the A/C system will work fine, but condensate isn't being disposed-of. They're independent systems.<BR><BR>I don't like water on the floor: it it wets drywall or other mold-friendly materials you could have a mess to clean-up. If it drains harmlessly to a floor drain you can survive for a time with that knowing that the condensate water may be unsanitary or could harbor unsafe bacteria.<BR><BR>Can you catch condensate in a bucket to pour into a drain? <BR><BR>Can you get to a building supplier like Lowes or Home Depot or a local HVAC supplier? COndensate pumps are simple and not costly. You could even buy one online for next day delivery. </P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-07-22 by Kathy</P> <p>Recently I was cleaning the sludge out of my condense pump when it started to smoke and the it popped! The pump doesn't work now but the a/c still does. Even though water is getting on the floor, is it ok to still run the unit till I replace the pump?</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-07-10 by (mod)</P> <p>If the lift height is truly unchanged I would look for a kink in the more flexible tubing</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-07-09 by JWD</P> <p>I installed a new condensate pump and new drain tube to the exterior of the house. When the pump comes on it only pumps the water about 6 ft. high in the tube and then continues to run without pumping the water any further in the tube.</p> <p>The pump works fine when connected to the old drain tube that runs to the sewer pipe (the rise and distance is about the same as the new drain tube to the exterior). The tubing for the new exterior drain is more flexible than the existing tubing. Any ideas? Thanks.</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-05-30 by Eunice</P> <p>The ac unit is in the basement so I imagine it can be damp to begin with. The only thing I can see looks like condensation. I did notice later there is also condensation on the bottom of the pvc pipe that runs to the pump. </P> <p>The water collecting in the blue pan and the pipe both feel very cold. Crossing my fingers there is no problem and thanks so much for your help.</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-05-30 by (mod) Should there be condensation on the blue pan of the condensation pump?</P> <p>Eunice,<BR><BR>Perhaps, if condensate is quite cold and the area around the little pumping chamber is both warm and very humid. It doesn't sound like a serious concern as long as condensate is not actually leaking out of the pump.</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-05-29 by Eunice</P> <p>Should there be condensation on the blue pan of the condensation pump?</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-05-22 by (mod) water dripping out of the bottom of my AC unit </P> <p>Possibly Samantha, you'll want to take a close look after a few hours; </P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-05-20 by Samantha</P> <p>I change my condensation pump out last night because it stopped working a few weeks ago. </P> <p>I made sure there are no clogs in the PVC pipe drain that goes into the pump from the AC.

It sounds to me as if the float switch is corroded, broken, failing.</P> <p> I checked some big suppliers like Grainger and didn't find replacement switch parts - and besides fooling with a switch that can get wet sounds like a risk of death by electrocution. <br><br> New condensate pumps like the one you probably have sell for about $50. U.S. - I'd replace it. But FIRST check that the condensate drain line is not crimped or blocked. </P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2017-01-11 by Brian E</P> <p>I have a little giant condensate pump. It has recently begun over filling and not turning on all the time. </P> <p>I removed the cover and the float is not stuck and when I manually trigger the switch by usin the float the pump will turn on and run as normal. I noticed some slime buildup and ran some bleach and hot water through it and it will intermittently turn on and off by itself when full. </P> <p>And other times I have had to manually trigger the switch. I'm not sure what the problem may be and looking for suggestions. Has anyone else experienced a intermittent running of a condensate pump?</P> <p class='recent-comment-hdr'>On 2016-09-24 1 by (mod) Is it proper to mount the condensate pump inside the return air cabinet space?</P> <p>The condensate pump can go at almost any convenient location, but it has to be located where it receives drainage from the condensate drip tray or drain by gravity.<BR><BR>For those reasons I don't understand how a condensate pump could be inside the airflow of the air handler - perhaps someone put it in the return air plenum? <BR><BR>Why?
