This cost-effective, entry-level model is built on the robust CONLIFT1 platform, incorporating proven components for exceptional reliability and a wide range of applications. It features easy installation with a floor-standing or wall-hung option, a pre-installed non-return valve, and a rotatable motor/pump unit. The design includes four symmetrical inlets, a 5m drain hose with adaptors, and an alarm contact. Its superior reliability is ensured by a unique sealing system that prevents corrosion and a water lock in the tank to stop gas admittance from boilers. The motor can handle inflows up to 60°C, and the pump is compatible with boiler PRV discharge, handling temperatures up to 90°C for up to 5 minutes. The CONLIFT1 LS is ideal for overcoming gravity challenges in various settings, including basements, kitchen cupboards, or doorways, providing a convenient solution for condensate removal from dehumidifiers, air-conditioning systems, commercial cooling systems, and condensing boilers.
This guide is for users of the Grundfos CONLIFT1 LS condensate pump, designed to efficiently remove condensate in situations where gravity drainage is not possible. The pump is ideal for basements, kitchens, and other areas where condensate needs to be moved upwards. Be aware that while the pump is versatile, proper installation is crucial for optimal performance.

FAQs
How often should I clean the pump?
Regular cleaning is recommended, ideally every 3-6 months, or more frequently if dealing with a high volume of condensate or debris.
What kind of maintenance does the pump require?
Regularly inspect the pump, clean the tank and filter, and ensure the hose is free from blockages.
Can I use the pump with hot water?
Yes, the motor can handle inflows up to 60°C continuously, and the pump can handle up to 90°C for up to 5 minutes.
Where can I install the pump?
The pump can be installed in basements, kitchens, or any area where condensate needs to be removed and gravity drainage is not possible.
What is the purpose of the non-return valve?
The non-return valve prevents the backflow of condensate, ensuring the pump operates efficiently.
What should I do if the alarm goes off?
Check the water level in the tank, inspect for blockages, and ensure the pump is functioning correctly.
Is the Grundfos CONLIFT1 LS suitable for all types of condensate?
It is designed for condensate from dehumidifiers, air conditioning systems, commercial cooling systems, and condensing boilers. It may not be suitable for all other types of fluids.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not turn on.
Check the power connection and ensure the pump is plugged in. Verify the power outlet is functioning.
Pump runs continuously.
Check for leaks in the system, or for any blockages in the hose or tank.
Alarm is activated.
Check the float switch and the tank for excessive water levels. Inspect the pump for any malfunctions.
Poor pumping performance.
Clean the filter and check the hose for blockages. Make sure the pump is not airlocked.
