Why it matters
This is the same pump as the VCMA-15ULS, a 1/50 HP motor with a 15 ft shut-off and 65 GPH at 1 ft, packaged with 20 ft of 3/8 in vinyl tubing. If you're replacing a pump with brittle old tubing, it saves a trip.
The overflow detection switch is included and can shut down the appliance or trigger an alarm; three 1-1/8 in inlets take drain lines from a furnace, coil and humidifier.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- First-time installs
- Replacing old tubing
- Furnace plus AC coil
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
- 20 ft tubing included
- Safety switch
- Three inlets
Cons
- 15 ft maximum lift
- Costs more than the bare pump
- Wiring needed for the switch
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.
