Why it matters
The Mighty Pump is a hand pump, not an automatic condensate pump. It builds enough pressure in heavy-duty PVC to push slime, mold and dirt out of primary and secondary AC drain lines without electricity or gas.
It also drains standing water from overflow pans and water heater pans, which makes it a useful tool to keep next to the air handler.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
