Review on Diversitech Corporation IQP-120 1.6 Gpm 120V Ac Condensate Pump by Robert Lewis

My ancient little giant caused a flood 6 months ago because the float switch got stuck. I replaced the pump with this because I liked the idea of having electronic sensors and no float switches. Also, it has some other "smart" features and cool flashing lights. It tripped the GFI circuit breaker and flooded with water 6 months after I bought it and then died completely. I called tech support and got an immediate response over the phone and the odd response that substances in the humidifier water would mess with the sensors and cause the machine to malfunction. Strange. Also, my air conditioner was working and the humidifier was off. Anyway, after a little detective work, I found a tiny crack in the PVC that allowed the air conditioning condensate to flow from the oven to the pump. The location of the small crack resulted in a very slow drop of water entering the mesh of the pump motor housing. Yes, water spilled on the motor will definitely cause the GFI pump to shut down and eventually short out. I fixed the PVC, replaced the pump with the exact same model and so far so good! It's quiet, powerful and "smart"!
