DRAIN CONNECTION
1. Position the pump beneath the equipment / unit so that condensate or high temperature
discharge water ows into the pump inlet freely (use either of the two openings provided). When
pressurized hot water is connected always use a tundish prior to entering the pump.
2. The inlet pipe should be positioned as close to the bottom of the tank as possible and the
bottom cut at an angle of greater than 30° to ensure the free ow of the condensate from the
boiler.
3. If the pump is to be used for both boiler condensate & PRV discharge, the copper PRV pipe
should only be inserted at least 1.4” (but no greater than 1.8”) into the tank inlet.
INLET CONDENSATE DRAIN CONNECTION
1. Connect the 3/8” I.D tubing to the discharge adapter / non return valve. For best results, secure
tubing with clamp but do not pinch, or restrict the tubing. The non return valve has a quick
release mechanism with a 1/4 turn bayonet type tting.
2. Tubing should rise vertically but not exceed the maximum shut o head (pumping height)
of 46’ above the pump. Any horizontal runs should be taken into consideration when assessing
the maximum shut o. This shut o will be reduced if bends and horizontal runs are included in
the outlet pipe work. If in doubt please contact DiversiTech for advice.
3. At highest point angle tubing horizontally and create a downward slop to drainage point. Do
not bend sharply or twist the tubing in a way that might result in collapse or restriction of the
tubing. Creating a downward slope will allow condensate to drain by gravity and keep tubing
empty.
4. If not possible to create a downward slope, try to create an inverted “U” trap directly above
the pump at the highest point.
OUTLET CONDENSATE CONNECTIONS
COMMISSIONING & TESTING
1. Before commissioning, check for debris in the tank. Remove any material which might block the
drain line or drain into the pump tank.
2. Turn on power and slowly ll the tank with clean water, as the oat rises to the on level position the
motor should turn on.
3. Leave the clean water in the tank as this will eectively prime the pump ready for use and help to
prevent any ue products passing through the pump from the boiler condensate drain pipe.
This pump is designed for use with condensing boiler applications. Caution must be taken to ensure
acidity of condensate does not increase below the average pH of 2.8 (to prevent pitting) by routinely
cleaning or ushing tank with fresh water.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICING
1. Before servicing the pump, disconnect the electric power for both the pump and the equipment
unit.
2. It is recommended that the pump be checked every six months for proper operation. It is
important to check for debris which may cause a blockage to the pump discharge
adapter/non return valve. Check for proper free movement of pump oat and switch and
check for free, unrestricted movement of motor and fan.
3. Clean the holding tank and oat with warm water and mild soap. Rinse completely when nished.
4. Check the inlet and outlet piping. Clean as necessary. Be sure there are no kinks in the outlet
line that would inhibit or restrict ow.

1. This condensate pump is designed for pumping away condensate from condensing
boilers, PRV discharge and high temperature water up to 212°F. The pump is controlled
by a oat / switch mechanism which turns the pump on to discharge the condensate
when approximately .7 gallons of condensate collects in the tank. The pump switches o
automatically when the tank drains to approximately .3 gallons, giving a drink cycle of .4
gallons.
2. This pump is carefully packaged, inspected and tested to ensure safe operation and
delivery. When you receive the pump, examine it carefully to determine that there are
no broken or damaged parts that may have occurred during shipment. If damage has
occurred, please contact your supplier. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if
required.
3. Read the instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate or service the pump.
Know the pump application, limitations and potential hazards. Protect yourself and
others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result
in personal injury and/or property damage! Please retain these instructions for future
reference. Installation and connections are to be made by a qualied person.
4. If installed for combined boiler condensate & PRV discharge, this pump is only suitable for
boilers up to 143MBH.

SAFETY
1. Do not use to pump ammable or explosive uids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
Do not use in explosive environments. This pump should be used with liquids compatible
with the pump component materials.
2. Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or
in water. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that the electrical supply is
connected to a permanent EARTH ground.
3. For installations where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an
inoperative or leaking pump due to power cuts, discharge line blockage, or any other
reason, a backup system and/or alarm should be used.
4. Support the pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may
cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
INSTALLING THE PUMP
1. Carefully unpack the pump.
2. The pump is designed to be oor standing and it is essential that the pump must sit on a
level surface. If installing on bare oor boards, to reduce noise transmission, it is advisable
to place the pump onto a noise absorbing material (such as underlay or carpet).
3. The pump should not be installled in a manner that will subject it to splashing or spraying.
4. PRV discharge should be routed through a tundish before entering the pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. If desired, connect overow safety switch terminals. Normally closed contact can be
used to shut down equipment and normally open contact can be used to activate
optional audible or visual alarm. The microswitch in the overow safety is rated for 240V, 3A.
2. Plug the pump into a suitable outlet based on the voltage specied on the label located
on the pump.
3. If a permanent wiring solution is preferred, the plug can be cut o and the pump can be
wired in accordance with NEC and local codes.
4. If pump is installed on a separate branch circuit, a 3.0 amp fuse is recommended.
