Common Questions

Q: What is the difference between UL and ULS versions?
A: “ULS” includes a safety overflow switch, while “UL” does not.

Q: Can this pump handle continuous use?
A: Yes — it is thermally protected and intended for automatic cycling in HVAC applications.

Q: What is the discharge port size?
A: ⅜″ OD barbed, with integrated check valve to prevent backflow.

Q: What’s the maximum head it can push against?
A: It can shut off at up to 15 ft of head. After that, it stops pumping further rise.
