Why the Summer is the Perfect Time to Replace Your Condensate Pump
This is the summertime. You can watch the mercury inside your thermostats rise slowly and steadily. Summer is also the perfect time to replace or repair your Hartell condensate pump or furnace. Wait, before you exclaim why you should tend to your furnace or Hartell pumps when this part of the world has itself turned into a veritable furnace, there’s that old saying, a stitch in time saves nine.
Summer is the right time when you need your property in the top condition during the winter. As a HVAC pump supplier, we know most often Hartell pumps fail in the dead of the winter because they were left uncared for in the summer.
The temperature in Jan and Feb winters can go to freezing extremes, and life can be terrible when the operational heating system refuses to work. The heating specialists, to add to your woes, could be working overtime to attend to your distress calls.
The delay in servicing follows the mounting demands during the winters, while the servicing costs too hike up. That is why it is highly advantageous to do all the repair work and replacement during the offseason.
Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series
A Condensate pump is needed to pump the condensate produced in the steam system, condensing furnace, refrigeration, or heating or cooling.
Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series, a condensate pump, comes with several excellent features. They are Plenum-rated and UL 2043 tested. The wire access has been made easy now, and the motor is thermally protected with 115/230 dual voltage. It has a solid cast aluminum reservoir. There are multiple piping arrangements in it. Its maintenance-free ball bearing design ensures there is no need for lubrication to keep it running as efficiently as ever.
This pump is Plenum-rated and is a new concept even for experienced HVAC professionals. Recent code changes make pump improvements mandatory. So there is a lot of discussions these days about ‘Plenum-rated condensate pumps’.
A plenum condensate pump can be installed in a plenum space, which is space below the floor or above the finished ceiling of a building. Plenum rating is important simply because not all condensate pumps are designed to fit in the plenum space.
When a pump is plenum-rated, it indicates that the pump such as Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series has been tested successfully to meet UL standard 2043, Third Edition. This test ensures several things: (i) It means the pump has been tested for fire heat (ii) It has been tested for visible smoke release. In other words, the Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series meet the requirements stipulated for fire resistance and low smoke-producing characteristics.
These standards, qualities, and characteristics are outlined in NFPA 90A, the Standard for Installation of Air Conditioning and Venting Systems, NFPA 5000, the International Mechanical Code, and in NFPA 70, which is The National Electric Code. This means the Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series is your unbeatable choice because this is the only product on the market that meet this rigorous standard. Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series is also designed to meet the highest safety standards.
The feature of the “1-gallon heavy-duty cast aluminum reservoir” makes this pump strong, robust, and durable for its weight. Its easy wire access facilitates the plumbing job effortlessly without errors. It has 115/230 dual voltage and is thermally protected. This is to ensure that the motor remains safe in the event of motor locking up for some reason, and the coil doesn’t burn as they normally do.
Hartell Plenum Plus A2-X series comes with a 12-month warranty, although this pump will continue to serve for years without having to claim the warranty. The features outlined above are bound to serve the users with maximum efficiency and safety for years. In a nutshell, these features include a maximum temperature of 150°F, a maximum of 400 gallons per hour with a 200-foot shut-off lift, ease of maintenance due to its modular design, easy wire access, auxiliary safety switch, dual voltage thermally protected motor, heavy-duty cast aluminum, and Plenum-rated.
