Nice video and pump. It seems that when you reinstall the decorative cover of the air handler that the insulated condensate pan drain line would interfere with this. Do you normally have to cut a hole in the bottom of the decorative mini split plastic cover?
I use a stand-alone DiversiTech CP22-230 cond pump that sits on the floor. Never been a problem with its large resrvoir and vertical rate with one-way valve. Never a complaint. But, this is for commercial applications and emergencies where looks and exposed hoses aren't a problem. This unit, however, has a typical problem shared with most mini-split pumps that must look 'pretty' or be concealed within the wall unit's chassis; the circular float/magnetic switch [mentioned in the video] must move freely for proper pump operation. The pump is the same miniature solenoid used for ALL mini-split pump offerings. If the mag float doesn't rise for whatever reason [not level, blocked by drain hose, muck build-up, air entrapment, etc.] cond will eventually overflow. The reservoir is typical low volume as other competitors. The mag float is the same across all manufacturers. And, most enclosed pump reservoirs need a breather hose (which must exit higher than the condensate pan) to prevent potentail air lock. I don't see any innovation on this unit other than its exterior application [which still requires removing the front covers and precise cutting of the cond drain line]. I am sorry, but I see pump/float/reservoir failure and frustration with this unit. @shanefrank3281 has a point. Not picking on this company, but I hoped its newest product would be more innovative and pose less hassel with a typical mini-split cond pump install. The manufactuerers and after-market industries need to agree on ONE modular connection design [for interface controls and condensate release] to ease installation and performance issues. At least this design doesn't attach with velcro as other competitor brands.
I am thinking about doing the same thing with my commercial ductless install. I was thinking to land the 230 power for the pump on the dedicated 230 terminals on the indoor head, with a fusible link also.
Based upon what I watched, that part requires reference to your Mini-Split instructions, since all of them are different. We had two of these installed by a service provider a month ago, but I bought this one for the third unit and am going to tackle it myself today or tomorrow.
Your guys’ lineset covers are awesome too as far as installation goes

What you you suggest for a 12000 btu air handler?

please provide the product model. I see lots of product has sensor and pump apart but in combined one case
How to order one?
Ok, I am sold - Now - WHERE DO I FIND ONE?
thats all cool and all but where does the water go if you have no drain pipe in an inside room, a bucket on the floor?
How high can the discharge line run upward?
how do u rewire from a refco gobi II to this?
How do I buy the smallest pump for a mini split
What happens if the water is more than your reservoir or small storage can handle?
What's the point of making this video without showing how to wire it, included manual is also very vague

Thats not the smallest
