Dehumidifier Condensation Pump – Liberty

The condensation Pump was a must for me, as I needed to run it’s condensate over to a tap I made in the condensation line which carries AC water out from under the crawlspace. I bought the pump along with the Moisture Medic and AprilAire hang kit. The Liberty pump comes with about a 20 foot run of condensation hose. It also has a couple wires running off it which you will hook up to the DH as to hopefully shut down the DH preventing a water overflow should there be a pump malfunction. Since the wires aren’t long enough for the length you’ll need, I first added a couple quick disconnects and ran additional wire from there. . From a 24 x 24 inch piece of plywood, I made like a U bracket to attach the condensation pump and independently suspended it near the DH. I suspended it from a floor joist. Perhaps not the best idea, since I can now hear it go on and off from up in the living area. It’s recommended that you also add and suspend about 10 feet of 8 inch insulated ductwork to both the inlet and outlet (Duck Collars) of the DH heading in oppose directions for better circulation and quietness. Working in a confided area with only a 30 inch height, I found it much easier to first attach the ductwork to the Duct Collars before bringing it down under and fixing it to the DH. To suspend the Ductwork, you can buy a small roll of 2 inch webbing from your local Lowe’s. With the Ductwork, the Moisture Medic is very quiet. I cannot hear it at all from up in the living quarters. Question- would it be easier with a helper? Perhaps, if one had done it before, Else, in tight quarters, you could end up in one another’s way. I gave it all five stars. But really, it’s a rather short time to make that determination.
