The non-return valve integrated into the discharge adapter prevents backflow into the reservoir when the pump cycles off, eliminating water hammer effects and maintaining consistent forward flow toward the sanitary sewer connection or outdoor discharge point complying with local plumbing authority requirements.
Float-Activated Microswitch Control & Rapid 3-5 Second Cycle Operation
The SaniCondens Best Flat employs a precision float mechanism coupled to a microswitch that automatically energizes the motor when condensate accumulation reaches the activation threshold within the 2-quart (approximately 1.9-liter) effective storage volume. This white housing's internal float assembly rises with incoming condensate levels, mechanically triggering the electrical switch that powers the impeller-driven pumping action without requiring external controls or timers.
When the discharge cycle evacuates the reservoir below the deactivation level, the float descends and opens the microswitch circuit, stopping motor operation until the next accumulation cycle begins.
Each pumping event typically lasts just 3-5 seconds depending on discharge piping configuration and total developed head, resulting in minimal power consumption and reduced electrical operating costs for continuous warranty protection throughout the equipment's service life.
The rapid cycling prevents prolonged condensate storage that could allow pH levels to drop further or microbial growth to develop within the reservoir, maintaining the effectiveness of the neutralizing media for treating fresh acidic condensate from connected bathroom fixtures and mechanical equipment.
