What is HVAC condensation pump?

Condensate pumps work very simple as the water originates in the heating and cooling system that is connected to the pump it will fill the tank reservoir up to a limit. When this limit is reached in the reservoir the float switch will activate the pump to suck out and remove water from the reservoir tank till water level is lower and not insufficient for floating switch to activate the pump.
