Description
The Little Giant 506811 6EC-CBA-SFS 1/3 hp, 3180 GPH pump is ideal for use as a sump or light effluent pump. The housing is made of epoxy-impregnated cast bronze ideal for briny/salty water conditions or for homes with water softeners emptying into the sump pit. This pump has a built-in snap-action float switch which activates the pump when the water level reaches 7.6″ – 9.6″ and shuts off when the water falls to between 3″ and 5″. This pump can handle up to 1/2″ solids and has a 1.5″ FNPT discharge. This pump comes with a 115-volt, 20' cord suitable for standard outlets in North American homes.
Features & Benefits:
– 1/3 horsepower PSC motor
– 1-1/2″ FNPT discharge
– 140 °F (60 °C) liquid temperature rating
Pump selection guidelines:
Application: effluent pumps can be used to transfer or remove clean water or liquid effluent with up to 1/2″ semi-solids. It is not designed to pass raw sewage.
Switch options (not all may be available):
– Tethered switches rise/drop with the depth of the water. They require a minimum basin size of 18″. The on/off levels can be adjusted easily.
– Diaphragm switches take up less room than a traditional tethered switch and uses water pressure to turn the pump on/off. A breather tube is located on the plug which must be free of debris for it to operate properly. The on/off levels cannot be adjusted.
– Snap-action switches take up less room that a traditional tethered switch. The float rises/lowers with the water level. The on/off level cannot be adjusted.
Piggyback vs. integral (built-in):
– A piggyback plug allows the switch to be overridden to pump below the off level. It is easily replaceable.
– An integral switch is built into the pump. An integral switch cannot be overridden so it is not the best choice for emergency water removal.
