Aprilaire 4856 Low Profile Dehumidifier Pump for Crawl Space and Basement Models

When a drain pipe is not available, the AprilAire Condensate Pump, Model 4856, offers an effective solution for removing the condensate water produced by appliances such as air conditioners, high-efficiency furnaces, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. This pump is equipped with a built-in reservoir that holds 0.33 gallons of condensate. Once the condensate reaches a designated level, the pump activates automatically, efficiently transporting the water to a remote disposal location.

Featuring a maximum vertical lift of 22 feet, the Model 4856 is ideal for installations where space is limited. It’s important to note that the rate of condensate removal is affected by the length of the lift; the maximum flow rate of approximately 120 gallons per hour (GPH) is achievable at a lift of around 3.4 feet, while at the maximum lift of 22 feet, the flow rate is around 5 GPH. To ensure optimal performance, it's recommended that the flow rate surpass the application usage rate by at least 50%. Additionally, maintaining a consistent downward slope from the HVAC equipment to the condensate pump is crucial for effective operation.

The pump features convenient indicator lights in green, amber, and red, allowing users to quickly assess its status: green indicates power and readiness, amber shows that the pump is actively running and removing condensate, while red signifies that the pump is off or disabled. Included with the Model 4856 is 20 feet of 3/8 inch clear vinyl drain tubing, enhancing its usability.

Safety and reliability are key aspects of this pump, which is UL listed. It comes with vibration-dampening feet and motor mounts, metal hang tabs, and four inlet holes—three of which have poly covers for unused connections. A specially designed duckbill-style check valve prevents water from backflowing into the tank when the pump is powered off. Moreover, the unit has an overflow safety switch that activates if water in the tank reaches an overflow threshold; this switch can be connected to turn off the appliance in such instances.

With dimensions of 11.8 inches in length, 5.9 inches in width, and 4.9 inches in height, along with a weight of just 5 pounds, the AprilAire Condensate Pump is characterized by its low-profile design, making it suitable for tight spaces where floor space is a premium concern.

For added peace of mind, the AprilAire Condensate Pump is backed by a two-year warranty. This product is sourced directly from AprilAire, a recognized leader in indoor air quality solutions, ensuring that it optimally enhances the installation and effectiveness of various AprilAire Whole House Dehumidifier Models, including E070, E080, E100, E130, 1820, 1830, 1850, 1852, 1870, and 1872.

In summary, the AprilAire Condensate Pump is an excellent choice for efficiently removing condensate from your dehumidifier to a remote location when a floor drain is not an option, capable of moving water up to 22 feet vertically.
