Why it matters
The Little Giant 553527 Mini-Split Condensate Pump lifts condensate from a mini-split head when the drain line can't run downhill; its listing gives 2.5 gph of flow.
Small mini-split pumps fit inside the line-set cover or the head's trunk. Size the lift for the vertical rise plus some margin, and wire the safety switch, where it has one, to stop the system if the water can't drain.
The listing gives dimensions of 11.12 inL x 2.19 inW x 2.19 inH, a shipping or unit weight of 1.3 pounds, discharge adapter with hose, owner's manual, pump with 4.9-ft. cord and lead wires, reservoir tank, white cover in the box and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (abs) construction.
