Thanks Chris! I bought one b/c it was all they had at Lowe's but couldn't any 'how to install' videos. Decided to research a little more and your video came up. I'll save myself the trouble.😆
I had one go out tonight, the motor is sticking. I cleaned it, plugged it into test, raised the float, the motor spun a little and stuck. I can turn the spindle by hand but, you can feel it sticking.
This is exactly my problem and my pump is as clean as this one.
I have DiversiTech CP-22 Pump on my A/C unit (was install everything new including duct work less than 4 years ago and I rarely use the A/C). The pump turns on but it doesn't seem to pump the water out to the outside so I took it out and it looks brand new and tested the following scenarios:
- Tested outside and obviously the water rushing out
- Using the compressor to blow the air through the drain coil and the air comes out at the other end so most likely it's not clogged.
- Plugging it back w or w/o the one way valve, the pump turns on and I do see the water going through the clear plastic portion (only about 6" then it connects to the copper tube) but it doesn't come out to the outside of the house. I tested a day before and it comes out a little bit at some point.
I am guessing the pump is not strong enough to push it through the 7' or 7.5' going up to the attic but not sure if it was a partial clogged coil or the pump itself. One would think that the coil is new when they install the whole brand new system including duct and duct registers.
It's the pump, for sure. I have replaced so many of these that are between 1-5 years old its pathetic.
What are those little clips you used for the connection?

Can you specify what Little Giant you recommend?

So, what is it that is failing in these pumps?
Junk! I went back to the little giant 20’ no issues.
Do you recommend Drummond pump sold at harbor freight?
I would stay away from HF, don't get me wrong they have certain things to buy. I do buy stuff from time to time. I would get the Little Giant VCMA-20 these are solid. amzn.to/3TrBRUu
@@ADVANHVAC thank you
@Btu555 you are welcome
I use to like diversitech but not any more. But those pumps have a rubber check valve in them. A few times I just cleaned the check valves, made sure the vynil hose was clean and the pump worked fine. I think thats what happened with yours.
That’s good to know. I have switched back to the little giant heavy duty.
Any thoughts on Beckett pumps?
Not really I don't believe I have used them before.
Greedy, corrupt suits profit margins are more important than quality in the USA.
I don’t like the diversitech pumps either, I tried a few of them and quickly went back to the good old little giant
Yup, just dropped some coin on about 6 cases of the heavy duty Little Giants.
WE USE THOSE ALL THE TIME WITH NO ISSUES. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PUMP! IT IS WORKING TO HARD TO PUMP THROUGH A RESTRICTED HOSE AND FAILING! WHEN YOU INSTALL A NEW PUMP YOU PUT IN A NEW HOSE!
I have installed 100’s of these and with in the last year 1/2 have several fail. Most of them have new hose with no restrictions. And if there is nothing wrong with the hose why replace it? That makes no sense. The only time I replace the hose if it’s got shit in it or it’s bad.
