Our scoreSCORE7.3 / 10Not reviewed yet
Our takeOur default for a furnace, air handler or dehumidifier lifting water up to about 10 ft, with the overflow switch the bare UL lacks. Plan on motor noise and a check valve that needs cleaning.For a wall-mounted mini-split head that can't drain downhill, where a floor tank pump is the wrong tool. It costs several times as much as a Little Giant and isn't a furnace pump.

Key spec65 GPH @ 1 ft, 25 GPH @ 10 ft; 15 ft shut-off; overflow switch16 dB(A), variable speed (listing claims)
Warranty1 yrn/a
Watch out forThe 15 in the name is shut-off head, not working lift; the manual's 75% rule puts planning lift near 11 ft. Remove the cardboard insert or the pump will overflow. Warranty is 12 months from purchase.Mini-split pumps are sized for one head's water; don't put one under a central air handler.
