Little Giant 6EC-CIA-DS 1/3 HP, 115-Volt, 3180 GPH Automatic Cast Iron Submersible Sump/Effluent Pump with Polypropylene Base, Piggyback Diaphragm Switch and 18-Ft. Cord, Blue, 506810

The Little Giant 506810 6EC-CIA-DS 1/3 hp, 3180 GPH, 115-volt pump is ideal for use as a sump, light effluent or emergency water transfer pump. This pump can handle up to 1/2" solids and has a 1.5" FNPT discharge. The polypropylene base helps prevent rust stains on floors when used as an emergency water transfer pump. This pump comes with a long 115-volt, 18' cord suitable for standard outlets in North American homes. The piggyback diaphragm switch activates the pump when the water level reaches 8" - 10.9" and shuts off when the water level drops to between 2.8" and 5.9". The piggyback plug on the switch allows the switch to be overridden for service or maintenance.Features & Benefits:- 1/3 horsepower PSC motor- 1-1/2" FNPT discharge- 140 °F (60 °C) liquid temperature ratingPump 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.
