ASPEN PUMPS
FOR MINISPLIT AIR CONDITIONERS
Selecting the Right Model Aspen Pump
for Your Minisplit Installation
Before deciding which pump type
best suits your needs, there are
4 factors to be considered:
1. Appearance
The premier selling point of Minisplits is that
they present a neat, clean appearance to your
customer, and it is important that this is
preserved.
Imported and Distributed by
2. Noise
Another prime selling point of Minisplits is
their quietness, so obviously it makes no sense
to install a pump which will be noisier than
the unit.
3. Ease of Installation
While appearance and noise are primary
features, ease of installation is no less important,
the easier it is to install, the less time it
takes you to do the job, and time is money.
4. Access to Clean the Filter
This is the most important factor of all because
THE FILTER MUST BE CLEANED REGULARLY.
If this is neglected, the filter will block, leading
to an overflow and potential water damage. The
best way to eliminate this is to place the filter
so it will always be easy to access for cleaning.
THE INTERESTS OF YOUR CUSTOMER AND
YOURSELF ARE BEST SERVED BY POSITIONING
THE FILTER FOR EASIEST POSSIBLE ACCESS.
Each Minisplit installation is unique and the method used is dictated primarily by the direction from which
the lineset has to be attached to the evaporator. Generally, these fall into 3 basic categories:
TYPE A – Exposed Elbow: Where the lineset enters the evaporator from either end
and turns 90 degrees to go up into the ceiling.
TYPE B – Exposed Straight Line: Where the lineset enters the evaporator from either end
and extends straight along the wall until it reaches an outside wall and exits the building.
TYPE C – Concealed Lineset: Where the lineset is concealed inside or behind the wall
and enters the evaporator from the rear.
Each of these requires a different approach insofar as the type of pump to be used is concerned.
TYPE A INSTALLATION – Exposed Elbow/90° bend
If you are installing a TYPE A, select a
Lime Pump for the following reasons:
1. The lineset is completely concealed, giving you a very clean professional appearance.
2. Both the Mini Lime at 23 Decibels and the Maxi Lime at 33 decibels are
extremely quiet.
3. The entire pump assembly mounts outside the evaporator so when you want to
inspect or clean the filter all you have to do is unclip the top cover of the elbow
housing the pump. It is then very simple to remove the pump, unclip the reservoir,
remove, clean and replace the filter, reassemble and then replace the pump.
It cannot get any easier than this.
YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO SELECT THIS PUMP TYPE
WHEREVER POSSIBLE!

TYPE B INSTALLATION – Exposed Straight Line
If you are installing a TYPE B, a Lime Pump is not suitable
because there is no 90 degree bend in the lineset.
In this case, you have to use either an Orange or an Aqua Pump. As the
Orange is generally too large to go into the space under the drain pan,
it can be installed inside the evaporator casing if there is room.
The lineset should always be concealed inside a removable lineset cover
similar to SlimDuct and the pump can then be concealed by mounting
it inside the cover.
The smaller size of the Aqua permits it to be easily installed in the space
underneath the drain pan if required. The Aqua can also be attached to the
lineset, which should be concealed inside a removable lineset cover similar
to SlimDuct or it can be mounted separately inside the lineset cover.
In both cases, the only place where the reservoir can be installed is in the
open space under the drain pan. Cleaning the filter will always be difficult,
as it involves disturbing the evaporator to gain access to the reservoir.

TYPE C INSTALLATION – Concealed Lineset
If you are installing a TYPE C, a Lime Pump is not suitable
because there is no exposed lineset at all.
In this case, you have to use either an Orange or an Aqua Pump. As the
Orange is generally too large to go into the space under the drain pan, it can
be installed inside the evaporator casing if there is room, or is more often

mounted above the ceiling within 6 feet of the evaporator.

COIL
The smaller size of the Aqua permits it to be easily installed in the space
underneath the drain pan or, it too can be mounted above the ceiling within
6 feet of the evaporator.
In both cases, the reservoir can only be installed inside the
evaporator, in the open space under the drain pan so it will always
be difficult to access it to service the filter.

For units up to 24,000 BTU/hr with a maximum of 26 ft. head, use Mini Orange or Mini Aqua.
