Default tying in a/c condensate drain into 1 1/2" PVC pipe from sump pump

I thought of just eliminating the pump and let it go into the pit, but
I was not sure if I was allowed to do that. The sump basin has holes
all around and on the bottom, so the A/C condensate I assume just
leaches into the ground? Is that ok?


My condensate pump just goes out the wall onto the ground as origionally
installed. Into a sump should be no worse, other than any difference the
somewhat acidic liquid from a gas furnace might make to the pump. If you are
talking only A/C condensants, there should be no problem.
