“The Little Giant (VCMA-15ULS, 65 GPH) condensate pump appears well built and works fine. However, my previous pump, that looked exactly like this one and lasted 20 years, could not be heard all the way from the basement upstairs in the living room. This unit makes a turbine whine and lets you know when it is running, even when watching TV, but not as loud as the first unit I returned. A pump that is quiet is not difficult, they just cost more to design, but not necessarily to build. My guess is that its a generic pump sourced from Asia. I will customize a cardboard box to position over the unit. That should do it.”
“Although the top of this pump is slightly different from the one it is replacing everything else is exactly the same. Our old pump was getting very loud and after swapping it out, I no longer hear it. Quality is good, super easy to switch out, perfect fit, pumps the water out fast and doesn't leak.”
