Little Giant 1-A 170 GPH Submersible Pump — 115V, Oil-Filled, 1/200 HP, 6 ft Cord

Overview

The Little Giant 1-A is a compact, permanently oil-filled submersible pump designed for continuous use in small fountains, water displays, and lightweight recirculation loops. With a 115-volt power requirement and a 1/200 HP direct-drive motor, this pump balances steady flow with a small footprint. The 6-foot cord provides flexible placement, while a 7-foot lift potential supports modest elevation changes in your display. This model handles intermittent temperatures up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and features a screened inlet to help protect the impeller from debris.
