Little Giant 5-MSP 115-Volt, 1/6 HP, 1500 GPH Manual Aluminum Utility Pump, 18-Ft. Cord, Blue, 505960

It’s a little giant that should tell you it all best one out there

Bought this to drain our above ground pool. About 5,500 gallons gone in 4 days, running the pump 2 or 3 hours a day. The top discharge hose port makes it easy to attach a standard garden hose and direct water where you want.

It works absolutely amazing! Just make sure your exit hose is screwed into into it CORRECTLY! for anyone this might help, if the water starts bubbling like a bubble machine, that means your exit hose isn't screwed in correctly 😉Yours Truly,Sl¥

Matches the original that came with the fountain. The first pump ranfor 15 years plus. very pleased.

Little Giant always works good for our pool cover - love the float that has the double plug - one that runs the pump continuous - other that only runs when there is water to pump out. Only draw back this Little Giant has a shorter plug cord so we have to run an extension cord - its shorter than the last three that we bought so not sure if they are just cheaping up the product or if they had a different option that I didn't see.

As to the pump. I knew what I wanted as I had purchased the same pump about 6 years ago. I used it, abused it, and broke some of the manufacturer's instructional "do-nots". Last summer it showed some early warning signs of eventual failure and finally died late in December 11. I definitely got my money's worth out of this little pump and I used it for bigger volumes than it is likely intended for. If you're not in too big a hurry, it will reliably move the water. After the old one failed, I shopped locally & on line for a replacement and Amazon easily had the best price and offered "super-saver" shipping as well. I could afford to wait until the estimated "super-saver" delivery time but not much more. The pump arrived on time but to my dismay, the to be included piece that allowed for connection to a garden hose was missing. My water build-up from interim rains were just about at my breaking point and the next heavier rain was forecasted for only two days away. I couldn't use the pump without the garden hose adaptor. I called the supplier hoping they might overnight me the piece but, given inventory availability, their estimate of shipping was some days away. They did send the piece at no cost to me but it arrived about two weeks after I absolutely needed to use the pump. I tried to cannibalize the same piece off the old pump but it had been in place for so long I didn't have the strength to remove it and if I did I'm sure I would have stripped the threads beyond use. Now the missing piece is nothing more than a PVC reducer, threaded into the 1" pump discharge and threaded at the other end to allow you to attach a garden hose. So I went to a near by ACE Hardware store, paid $2.65 for two threaded PVC fittings to mirror the threaded ends of the missing piece, used PVC cement to attached them on either end of a small piece of scrap PVC pipe and I was in business. Actually I prefer my homemade reducer as it works better for my purposes. Back when the pump arrived with the missing piece, I also emailed Amazon. They immediately replied offering me options of returning the pump at no charge to me or to keep the pump in which case they would provide me a healthy discount. As I had my aforementioned home-made piece in mind and needed the pump right away I accepted the discount; one that more than paid for my gas, time, and cost of the PVS fittings. In their initial reply Amazon also noted that this miss was unusual relative to this supplier and I believe them. I spent a career in manufacturing and people who make good stuff (and I believe the Little Giant Pump is good stuff) generally try and do it right the first time.Why I like Amazon: I use them a lot as I find they have better prices, a super wide selection of goods, and stand behind what they peddle as evidenced by the very generous discount they afforded me. I didn't have to do squat as they merely credited my credit card. This is the first time I've ever had a glitch with an order and it actually turned out to be a pretty positive experience.

This pump works great! Love the auto on auto off feature! Set it and forget it! Also has manual mode if you prefer that! My last Little Giant pump lasted 10 years!

This pump works great. Have used it several times.
