Drain Line
The Mini Ceiling Mount evaporator features a drain line pump system that removes excessive condensate build up in
the drain pan. During operation, the drain pan collects water that drips from the coil. The drain line pump system will
prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for discharge of the additional condensate.
The longevity of the drain line pump may be compromised if the system operates dry. To prevent the pump from
starting dry an anti-siphon device must be installed in the drain line tubing as shown in Figure 9. This device should
be installed in the drain line post pump on the exterior of the evaporator unit. WhisperKOOL recommends to install
the anti-syphon device relatively close to the evaporator because water will remain between the pump and the
device.
Condensation Drain Line
The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It
is important that the drain line tube is properly connected.
Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.
WRONG: Drain line is under water.
DRAIN LINE
Connecting the Drain Line
Route the drain line to an appropriate discharge location using the
supplied barb coupling and 1/4” tubing.
Do not route the drain line more than 30 vertical ft.
To prevent mold from growing, allow the
drain line to hang above the water line.
Note: Water will remain between the pump and the
anti-syphon device at all times.

Drain Location
NOTE: The anti-siphon device only needs to be used when the drain line is routed below the level of the evaporator
unit. In this case the anti-siphon device should be installed in the drain line at the level of the evaporator unit.
