The Ideal-Air Pro Series Dehumidifier Replacement Condensate Pump is a genuine replacement condensate pump that fits Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifiers, restoring automatic water removal when the original pump wears out or fails. It is a service part, not a standalone dehumidifier or a general-purpose pump: it drops into a Pro Series unit to move collected condensate out of the reservoir automatically. This page gives what the carrying retailers publish — the part number, weight, compatibility, and shipping notes — explains how a condensate pump works, and is honest about the pump-performance figures the maker does not publish. It is the replacement pump for the Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifier.
What it is
A dehumidifier collects liquid water as it dries the air, and that water has to leave the cabinet. On the Ideal-Air Pro Series, an internal condensate pump does that job — it lifts the collected water up and out through a drain line so the unit can run continuously without a gravity drain or a tray to empty. This product is the genuine replacement pump for that role, fitted to Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifiers. You buy it when the original pump has worn out or stopped moving water — not as an upgrade or an add-on capacity. Because it is a matched service part, it is designed specifically for the Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifier rather than sold as a universal condensate pump.
Specifications

How a condensate pump works
A condensate pump is a small reservoir with a float and a motor. As condensate collects, the rising water lifts a float; at a set level the float closes a switch that runs the pump, which drives the water up and out through a discharge line until the level drops and the switch opens again. This lets a dehumidifier discharge water to a drain that is higher than the unit, or some distance away, rather than relying on gravity alone — the reason a powered pump is used instead of a plain drain hose. When the pump fails, the reservoir fills and the dehumidifier either stops (if it has a high-water cutoff) or overflows, which is why a worn pump is replaced rather than left in place.
Best uses
- Restoring an Ideal-Air Pro Series unit. This is the genuine replacement pump for the Pro Series, so it is the correct part when the built-in pump on that dehumidifier stops moving water.
- Keeping a continuous-drain install running. Rooms that rely on the pump to push condensate to an overhead or distant drain need a working pump to stay in automatic operation; this part returns the unit to that state.
- Planned spares for commercial rooms. Operators running Pro Series units at scale may keep the matched replacement pump on hand to minimise downtime when one fails.
Compatibility and ordering notes
- Fitment: it is designed for the Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifier; confirm your dehumidifier is a Pro Series model before ordering, and match the part number RPP461002.
- Shipping: one carrying retailer notes this item cannot be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii; buyers in those states should confirm availability before ordering.
Where it fits
For the full range, browse the climate & environment category. General store policies are on the about page. This part serves the Pro Series dehumidifiers it is matched to:
- Ideal-Air 100 Pint Pro Series Dehumidifier — a Pro Series unit this pump is a service part for.
- Ideal-Air 180 Pint Pro Series Dehumidifier — the higher-capacity Pro Series unit in the same family.
- Anden A100 Dehumidifier — an alternative grow dehumidifier with its own positive-pressure drain (no separate pump).
Frequently asked questions
What does this part do? It is the replacement condensate pump that restores automatic water removal on an Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifier.
Will it fit my dehumidifier? It is designed for Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifiers; it is a matched service part, not a universal pump.
What is the pump’s flow rate and lift? Those figures are not published for this replacement part on any source we read, so we do not state them — see Honest fit. Consult the Pro Series owner’s manual or Ideal-Air for pump-performance specifications.
Can it ship to Alaska or Hawaii? One retailer listing states it cannot be shipped to Alaska or Hawaii.
Who this is for — and who should skip it
Suited: owners of an Ideal-Air Pro Series dehumidifier whose built-in condensate pump has worn out or failed, and who want the genuine matched replacement part rather than a generic pump.
Not for / its limits: this is a replacement service part for the Pro Series, not a standalone dehumidifier, not a general-purpose water pump, and not an upgrade that adds capacity. It is not a fit for other dehumidifier brands or non-Pro-Series models. If your dehumidifier still drains fine, you do not need it.
HELD (not stated because not sourced): the pump’s flow rate (GPH), maximum lift / head height, and operating voltage — no standalone pump datasheet is published by Ideal-Air, and the carrying retailer listings do not state them, so they are held rather than guessed. The included hose length and size for the replacement part are not stated on the sources read and are held. Warranty term is held (M-05). The live retail price is held — the WooCommerce price field is the source of truth at deploy. The 4.64 kg figure is a retailer-listed weight, not a maker specification.
