Little Giant VCL-24ULS 115V, 553201

Works great

These pumps are quality made. Set it and forget it. The only thing that should be Noted is the discharge spout is not a check valve. Water Is able to run back into the tank. If you were going to have more than one pump on the same discharge line You will need one valves otherwise you will be pumping water back-and-forth from the pump. Not a drawback, these pumps are definitely recommend. But depending on your application, you may need one way valves like I do.

NOT the default 30-buck condensate pump from the home store! Heavy-Duty motor and good switching. Moves a LOT of water, or a little water quickly. My puny HVAC don't make much condensate, I wanted this more for reliability so I am not up at odd hours with tools and a wet-vac. So far (one day) so good. Very minor details: the safety-switch leads are ultra-short, so I have to lay on the floor to splice. A couple foot more wire would be nice at the price. There's just two holes in the top (of this high-capacity pump) and I have three drip-hoses. Re-plumb seasonally or get a funnel? The low-price pumps often have three holes and a hole-plug included. Pluses: comes with both open and check-valve fittings. Check-valve prevents that slosh-back at the end of the pumping, a bit more efficient; but open fitting drains the line so it won't freeze (like mine did). Note that one buyer says to clean the float-rod often, before it sticks (on OR off). You can remove the square plastic box (or just its screws) over the switches but beware! 120V on the switch lugs when cover is off. ___________ 2 months later: still pumping great!! If you cut the bottom off a plastic soda bottle, whittle the neck a bit, you can make a great "funnel" to accept 2 maybe 3 hoses in one hole.

Our heat pump/AC/furnace was installed in crawlspace by previous owner with condensate dumping on gravel floor. We live in humid southern Missouri (USA). Husband installed this pump in an area he excavated and lined with an old refrigerator drawer to keep pump from contacting the earth. Thy vinyl tube he attached takes condensate up 4 ft and outside with no problem. We can hear it when it cycles from living area in the house, but only loud enough to know it is working. We may put a piece of rubber gasket material between it and the tub it sits in to assist in noise reduction, but it really doesn't bother us enough to do that, plus I like to be able to monitor it. This pump has solved the problem of removing this source of moisture that was being added to our crawlspace. Highly recommend!

Replaced a failing 13-year-old pump with the VCL-24ULS. It met the specs I needed at a reasonable cost and was available for next day early delivery. So far it has performed as expected. It runs a bit noisier than the original otherwise it'd be 5 stars. If it stands the test of time, I'll be pleased with the purchase.

Everyone giving this pump 1 star because it failed needs to read this... My pump also failed on me after a year of solid operation. The float switch was failing to activate the pump and resulted in water overflowing the reservoir. I opened it up and found when the float switch turns on the pump, there is a small residual amount of water not removed after each cycle. Over a year or more, this left-over water builds up algae & funk that attaches to the float shaft preventing it from actuating up and down correctly. This causes the condensate reservoir to overflow. A simple routine cleaning of the float mechanism and water reservoir, and it’s as good as new. I have had the pump running for 2 years now in great shape. TLDR: Clean yer shafts and all will be happy in the land for years and years!

Worked an easy to install

Industrial motor empty’s in seconds, almost silent. Worth the price!
