Any experience with 24vdc condensate pumps?
Looking for some help for a mini split install in my unit, would like to tap the 24vdc the unit uses to run a condensate pump. The only 24vdc units I have found are from Aspen "Mini Orange", they fit my requirements. Anyone have any experience with them.Since I don't have the ability to do a gravity drain.
Also, local plumbing codes don't want the condensate to feed into a vent stack, I try to plumb them to the toilet tank for flushing, was common sense to me at the time and feel there should be no reason not to attempt it again. Any thoughts on why I should not? |

Are you sure the 24V line in the mini-split will run a condensate pump?
I'm sure you can find 24V pumps, my question is about the current that the pump will use and the current that the mini-split is able to provide. -AC

Just use a wall wart as the power supply.
