Beckett CB151UL Condensate Pump

[j***@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to trouble shoot a Beckett CB151UL condensate pump. I
found a pool of water next to my furnace and I suspect it is from the
condensate pump. The water level in the reservoir was fairly high,
close to the brim.

I do not have experience working with pumps but while the pump was on
I removed the clip connecting the hose and there was enough pressure
for the water to shoot out like a fountain. I was able to put the
tube back and the duckbill value correctly.

I have turned off my AC, and manually poured water into the
reservoir. This started the pump but I don't see it pumping the water
out (I did see it pumping water out before I removed the tube).

I would appreciate if someone can help explain the puddle of water and
why I the pump is not pumping water out of the reservoir? Also, is
there a owner's manual/troubleshooting manual I can locate online?
What other checks can I do?

Thanks.

A condensate pump is a VERY simple machine. If you cant troubleshoot
something as simple as it, you should carefully BACK AWAY from the
machine.

It only has 2 moving parts and apparently its beyond your comprehension.
Maybe the next check should be the one you write to the tech you gonna call.

is the hose clogged?

[j***@gmail.com]

Mark,
I don't think the hose is clogged, but I'll take a look at the portion
which goes into the crawl space to verify the hose is ok down there.
The water level in the output hose rises a little bit but I don't see
it being pumped out. Its as though the pump is not pumping the water
out even though I can hear the pump running. I did not want to
unscrew the pump and disconnect the hose. But it seems that might be
the next step.

Thanks for providing guidance.

You've got to be kidding that you dont have the comprehension on how
to get a rubber/vinyl hose off of a barbed plastic fitting to see if
the problem is at the pump or the hose?
How do you get by in your daily life?

I would suggest that you call a HVAC company, if you can't troubleshoot a
simple pump without making the situation worst.

Open up the pump, inside will be a brass tube that goes down toward
the bottom. At the bottom it flares out. That wide section is where
the impeller is. The bottom portion below the impeller is usually
connected to the main body with 6 or so bolts and a gasket.

Note: On the newer pumps, everything is plastic, but if you have one
of the older pumps that still has brass... see below.

Over time the bolts rust and fall off, or the gasket falls apart. The
perimeter that the gasket seals must be 100% sealed, if not the
impeller can't pump water as good, and what happens is the pump just
runs forever, and it can't get enough lift pressure, then the motor
overheats and the unit shuts off, it fills with water, etc.,.

Its actually easy to repair, but to be honest, I would buy a newer
plastic one. A new 460V becket condensate pump is like $380, less for
230/208V.

That's nice, but the "Beckett CB151UL condensate pump" is a 120 V model.

and it can't get enough lift pressure

IIRC "lift" has absolutely nothing at all to do with submerged pumps, your
refrence to "lift pressure" above apparently being something you've pulled
out of your ass...instead, the distance above the water surface is what
ismore important here, iow you have the resultant pressure of gravity caused
by a static water collumn--which is added to your system pressure...the
resultant value being referred to as "total head pressure"

Good morning.
It is a shame when home owners look to the web for some basic info re:
CB151, and those in the know can only be sarcastic. Once you've
disconnected the pump and taken it apart, try flushing the chamber with a
mixture of vinegar and water. Aggitate left and right, trying not to wet
the electronics. Rinse. If this doesn't take care of it as it did for me,
then you have to look into replacing seal.
At any point, if you have no luck, look into calling for help.

Hi,
I am trying to trouble shoot a Beckett CB151UL condensate pump. I
found a pool of water next to my furnace and I suspect it is from the
condensate pump. The water level in the reservoir was fairly high,
close to the brim.
I do not have experience working with pumps but while the pump was on
I removed the clip connecting the hose and there was enough pressure
for the water to shoot out like a fountain. I was able to put the
tube back and the duckbill value correctly.
I have turned off my AC, and manually poured water into the
reservoir. This started the pump but I don't see it pumping the water
out (I did see it pumping water out before I removed the tube).
I would appreciate if someone can help explain the puddle of water and
why I the pump is not pumping water out of the reservoir? Also, is
there a owner's manual/troubleshooting manual I can locate online?
What other checks can I do?

Un block it you fucking moron this shit typically only happens in the s trap
and unless the whole thing was installed by a retard such as yourself. the
rest of the runs are near vertical or at least have horizontal slope
sufficient that gravity will empty completely upon each fan off cycle.

Some folks just don't realize that their most precious commodity is their

resuscitate an old POS pump instead of spending a couple of dollars, thats
on them. I gotta wonder just how many hours they have spent on this little

I would appreciate if someone can help explain the puddle of water and
why I the pump is not pumping water out of the reservoir? Also, is
there a owner's manual/troubleshooting manual I can locate online?
What other checks can I do?
Thanks.

Beckett CB151U

take off the hose and put in the power plug, if working proper then hose
is blocked, the impeller can be blocked, open the pump and while power
plug is in your left hand feel with your fingers if motor is turning on
the impeeller.

Hi,
I am trying to trouble shoot a Beckett CB151UL condensate pump. I
found a pool of water next to my furnace and I suspect it is from the
condensate pump. The water level in the reservoir was fairly high,
close to the brim.
I do not have experience working with pumps but while the pump was on
I removed the clip connecting the hose and there was enough pressure
for the water to shoot out like a fountain. I was able to put the
tube back and the duckbill value correctly.
I have turned off my AC, and manually poured water into the
reservoir. This started the pump but I don't see it pumping the water
out (I did see it pumping water out before I removed the tube).
I would appreciate if someone can help explain the puddle of water and
why I the pump is not pumping water out of the reservoir? Also, is
there a owner's manual/troubleshooting manual I can locate online?
What other checks can I do?
Thanks.

THE OUTPUT HOSE IS BLOCKED!! Possibly clamped along with wires, tubes, etc
it should be free or loosely zip-tied.
