Condensate Pump
Definition
A condensate pump removes the water that naturally condensates inside your AC, furnace, or heat pump. When your unit runs, it slowly accumulates moisture on the evaporator coil (AC) or the exhaust stream (furnace). To prevent rust or water damage, the water must be removed by the condensate pump.
