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.
I don't think the members here are looking to help, only to chastise you
for not hiring one of their kind.
The days of helping an inquiring homeowner died on the prairie.

That's only because they have a family to feed and a house payment, which
from what I can tell, most people aren't sending in as of late.

Sounds like your tube is clogged. Replace tube. Regrets, I've got gmail
users blocked, so saw your question through someone else.
