Little Giant 5-MSP, 1/6 HP, 1200 GPH - Submersible Utility Pump, 18' Power Cord (505176)

I have purchased several of the Little Giants for my outdoor fountain. After about 2 years, the item gets corroded and burns out...I quickly order another item from Plumbers Surplus and in no time it arrives at my front door. Updating worn out pumps seems to go with the territory with submersible pumps.
The Little Giant is reliable and does it job during it's life duration. Recently I called Plumbers Surplus with a question and I was promptly transferred to a technician with knowledge. I appreciated this.

We could have used this when our basement flooded during a thunder storm. We are prepared now for the next storm. It really moves the water.

they had the best price, the exact model I wanted[...]nothing to complain about. I've ordered from this site in the past, and will order in the future. My husband is a master plumber.

Best pump I have ever used!

I bought my first little giant pump about ten years ago. It has worked great pumping my pool cover, my sisters basement, and parents basement. Not to mention the times friends borrowed it for days. Hours and hours of use. I had it frozen solid on my pool cover and when it unfroze in spring plugged it in and to my amazement started pumping. Best product I ever owned.. Bought a second one today!

Durable

Wonderful pump, we use it to remove any overflow water from our outhouse

1st you should stop calling it the Little Giant. It's a great product. The little thing does alot. My neighbor has one I used to borrow. Had it for years. Had to have my own.

During very heavy rainfall the sewers on my street can't handle the volume of water & will back up into the basement.
With the Little Giant I can put it into the floor drain & pump the water out through my garage, keeping the basement dry.

Got the 18' cord should have gotten the 25'...with pool partially drained i miscalculated the depth of the cover to the distance of the outlet...using a heavy guage extention cord my help, but the warranty says do not use any other cord or you risk ruining unit. so buy once measure twice. Also, unit must be stored indoors in warmth after use or it will freeze and fail in winter. Otherwise its rugged and reliable. I installed a quick release hose, so I dont have to drag 25' of garden hose around with it. The expensive autoshutoff switch (which I did not buy, but have used), does not allow the pump to drain down to minimum, so for pool covers stick with manual application. For my needs it wasn't worth buying that, but may be useful for others

I installed this in a huge swamp cooler that had a burnt out OEM pump. It had great water pressure and is quiet as can be.

I've only had it in about 4 months but I'm sure it will work great!

easy to use - easy to clean, if needed
