Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 160029 1/3HP Condensate Pump 115V WC-6-20B

The Xylem-Hoffman Specialty 160029 WC-6-20B, also known as a condensate pump, is a crucial component in various HVAC systems. This small, electrically operated pump is intended to remove condensate, a moisture-filled residue that forms when air conditioning is used. To stop the formation of mold, water damage, and system inefficiency, this condensate needs to be drained away.The WC-6-20B runs on regular 115-volt household energy and has a 1/3 horsepower motor. It automatically turns on when the condensate level hits a predetermined level using a float switch mechanism. When the pump is activated, it effectively moves the water it has gathered through a discharge pipe to a specified drain point, which is usually a sump pump or floor drain.Excessive moisture levels can foster the proliferation of mold and mildew, presenting potential health risks.
