Why it matters
The CDS325 is a full-size tank pump, despite its listing mentioning mini-splits: up to 95 GPH or a 26 ft vertical lift. It starts at 2.28 in and stops at 1.26 in under a hall-effect switch.
The high-level safety switch shuts off the appliance before an overflow, and five 1 in inlets take several drain lines.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- High lifts
- Furnace plus AC plus dehumidifier
- Long drain runs
Look elsewhere if
- Sump pits or basement flooding
- Lifts above the maker's maximum
- Owners who won't clean it twice a year
Pros and cons
Pros
- 26 ft lift
- 95 GPH
- Safety switch
Cons
- Full-size tank
- Short cord
- Must be mounted level
Limitations to weigh
- Wiring the safety switch to your furnace or air handler needs basic electrical knowledge; hire a technician if unsure.
- Clean the tank, float and check valve every six months or so; algae and slime cause most condensate pump failures.
