The basic idea for the LCU Condensate Pump is for the removal of all condensate from high efficiency rated furnaces, drinking fountains, air conditioning equipment, dehumidifiers and ice machines just to name a few. There are 6 different models in the LCU Series.
The LCU-15 operates with a 15-foot head and 115 voltages. Models LCU-20S and LCU220S have Safety Switch Features that operate with a 20 foot head and 115 volt or 230 volt. The Shallow Pan LCU-SP20S has a Safety Switches Feature along with a 20-foot head and a 115-volt motor.
Some of the features that the LCU Condensate Pumps has to offer is that it is made with a high impact ABS Tank. It is a wall-mounted unit so it can save space wherever you are installing the pump. The check valve is a removable one, making it easy for replacement. The unit is thermally protected and the pump shaft is made from a stainless steel shaft. The Maximum Amount of Fluid Temperature is 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
The pump operations are basically the same operation; all of the pumps have the same horsepower, 1/30 except models LCU-15T and LCU-15 they run off a 1/50 horsepower. The LCU-15 and the LCU-15T do not have safety switches like the rest do. The max foot head of these two pumps are 15 and the others are 20. They all run on a 115-volt capacity except for the LCU220S, which is a 230-volt.
When you are installing these pumps it is important that you do not use them in water that exceeds 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not change the pump in any way, by doing this you will void the warranty and you may affect the way the pump performs. It may be tempting once you buy the pump, but do not take of any tags from the pump or the cord. These tags let people know any information they need to know before they start touching things.
Make sure that you disconnect any power from the power source before attempting to install any pump. If you don’t chances are you may get a zap here and there and it is not very pleasant. Before installing these pumps make sure that the sump pit is not less than 14 inches in diameter. This is the recommended diameter; try to adhere to that so there are no problems with the pump later on.
Please make sure that you read all of the recommended reading materials that come with the pump. These specs and warnings come with the pump for a reason. It is important not to disturb anything that is going to void your warranty or more importantly change the way the pump is running. It will end up causing you more money in the long run if you are not following the directions. If you feel that you may have some trouble, spend the money and have someone install the pump, at least you will know it was done correctly.
