CondenSense™ Technology is a patented, electronic liquid-level sensing system that delivers unmatched accuracy and reliability for condensate management. Unlike float switches and thermistors, CondenSense uses a electronic sensor to detect water and other high-dielectric liquids, measuring the degree of immersion rather than just hitting a fixed threshold—ideal for the variable conditions condensate pumps face.
With no moving parts, CondenSense offers exceptional durability, mechanical robustness, and resistance to contamination and vibration. It provides precise, contact-based detection with minimal maintenance, making it a long-lasting, consistent solution for modern HVAC systems.
Thermistor sensors are designed for reliability, monitoring the temperature within condensate reservoirs or detecting ambient temperature differences to activate the pump when cooling is occurring or condensate is present. Compared to traditional float switches, thermistors offer a more reliable, low-maintenance solution, as they are less prone to jamming or failure due to light debris build-up.
However, while they improve on some legacy methods, basic thermistor sensors lack the precision and intelligence seen with CondenSense™ Technology. Their indirect detection method can lead to unnecessary pump cycles, making them a less efficient option in demanding or variable environments.
