Pump Selection Guide

Welcome to our Pump Selection Guide in the Aircon Spares Knowledge Hub! Choosing the right condensate pump is essential for keeping your air conditioning system running smoothly. Whether you’re installing a pump for a small residential unit or a large commercial setup, we’ve got you covered. Use this guide to find the perfect pump for your needs.

Step 1: Identify Your Installation Type

Different air conditioning setups require different pumps. Tell us about your system:

  • Small Residential Units (e.g., wall-mounted or mini-split systems up to 12kW)
    Need a compact, quiet pump? Look for mini pumps or peristaltic pumps.
  • Large Residential or Commercial Units (e.g., central AC, oversized refrigeration)
    Handling more condensate? Consider maxi pumps or tank pumps.
  • Condensing Boilers or High-Efficiency Furnaces
    Specialized needs? Check out boiler pumps.
  • Ductless or Concealed Systems
    Tight spaces? Mini pumps or peristaltic pumps are ideal.

    Low volume = Mini or Peristaltic / High volume = Maxi or Tank
  • How much noise can you tolerate?
    Quiet needed = Mini or Peristaltic / Noise not an issue = Maxi or Tank
  • What’s the installation space like?
    Tight fit = Mini or Peristaltic / Room to spare = Tank
