Review on πŸ’§ Efficient Water Removal with the Beckett CB151UL 115 Volt Condensate Pump by Lee Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaces CB151SUL. Easy installation. I saved $$$ by making it myself.

Bought to replace my old unit which was a Beckett CB151LSUL. The old one lasted about 10 years. Hopefully this new one will last another 10. My old unit didn't have the 2 extra blue wires going to the HVAC to disable it if the pump fails. This new device has extra wires. I don't know how to connect these cables. From what I've learned from the internet this should be very easy, but I'm a little scared of doing it myself. I'm not exactly an HVAC guy. Luckily, these two wires are optional. They shouldn't be connected at all. My air conditioner is in the basement and I don't care if water splashes on the floor. I placed a leak detector next to the pump and it should alert me when this happens. I saw from one of the comments that someone connected the two blue wires to the leak sensor. I checked the wiring in the pump and it turned out to be very easy to switch the overflow switch from normally closed to normally open. I really can do what this guy did. What I have should do for now.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
