I have a Fujitsu mini split system. One of the units is below ground level, so it has a condensate pump. It works fine but is annoyingly loud when it flips on. Can anyone rec a quiet condensate pump, and is that something I could swap out myself? The pump is in it's own separate little housing so it is easy to access.

Drill a hole in the floor

Well, it's in a basement, and being below grade there's no place for the water to really go

Under the slab.
It's not the best, but I've done it.


Aspen pumps, about the best your gonna get.

It's called a dry well!

Or a bucket, large house plant.

WTF? I'm not drilling a hole in my floor and dumping water under the slab of my house, or leaving a ghetto bucket there I need to empty. I thought you people were professionals?

How far below grade is the drain?
Put a drywell outside and run drain through outdoor wall to it.

Sorry but dry wells are common.

Live with the noise then :CU:

Do no one knows of any quiet pumps, besides Aspens?

I use the Aspen Mini white.

All those type of pumps are noisy. That is my Professional opinion. Turn off the ac to get it better.

I agree with the aspen pump. "noisy" Is a relative term. I have yet to meet a customer that was perfectly satisfied with the noise level of any pump.

you've never heard of a dry well?

What do you think is under the slab in your house?
Just dirt?
You don't think that there is water under then when it rains?

Sauerman makes a small quiet minisplit pump, but it's designed to fit inside the cabinet of the unit.
It may be above the average DIY skill level
