Ideal for heavy rainfall areas, this energy-efficient pump safeguards your investment with reliable, automatic operation. ## Description Water remaining on pool covers for an extended period adds extra weight and can cause ripping or tearing resulting in costly repairs or replacement. The Little Giant Select Series LG-APCP1700 115-volt, 1/3 hp, 1745 gph pump removes water from pool covers, boat covers or rooftops - providing added protection from prolonged accumulation of precipitation. The LG-APCP1700 easily attaches to a standard 3/4" garden hose for effortless water removal. This pump is equipped with a 1/3 hp energy-efficient, permanent-split capacitor (PSC) motor and 25' cord. The LG-APCP1700 activates in approximately 2" of water and shut-off when the water level falls to approximately 1". The LG-APCP1700 has a wide, weighted base design for added stability. The LG-APCP1700 is equipped with a 1" FNPT discharge and can be connected to 1" piping for areas that frequently get heavy rain falls (1" to 2" per hour) for increased performance.Protect your investment! Take the pump indoors when temperatures fall below 32 Β°F as the hose can freeze with water in it preventing water from being expelled from the pump. This can cause the pump to run until the water in the hose melts which can result in excess strain and damage to the motor. Freezing water expands and can cause the pump to crack during freezing weather. Clean the pump yearly to keep your pump running smoothly. Instructions are found in the owner's manual or watch our "Troubleshooting Airlock on the APCP-1700" video.Dimensions (LxWxH) are: 12" x 12" x 8.25" and the weight is approximately 13 lbs. ## Features - APPLICATIONS: designed for automatic removal of water from pool covers, boat covers or rooftops - pump activates in 2" of water and shuts off when water drops to 1" - EASY MAINTENANCE: access to pump float and air lock for cleaning; requires no tools or screws; see video for demonstration - WELL DESIGNED: ergonomically built-in handle for portability and ease of placement and removal; compact weighted design for stability - EASY SET-UP: 1" FNPT discharge with 3/4" garden hose adapter included to fit a standard 3/4" garden hose; convenient 25' power cord ensures easy-reach of power source in most installations - SPECIFICATIONS: 115 Volts; 60 Hz; 2.2 Amps; 270 Watts; 1/3 HP; 1700 GPH at 1-ft. lift; 21.5' shutoff; 1" FNPT discharge with 3/4" garden hose adapter; integrated float switch; 25' cord ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09RQ32MRF | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,533 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #3,060 in Pools, Hot Tubs & Supplies | | Brand Name | Little Giant | | Color | Dark Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (5,630) | | Flow Rate | 29 gpm | | Horsepower | 0.33 hp | | Included Components | 1" to 3/4" Garden Hose Adapter, Installation manual, pump with 25' cord | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 12"L x 12"W x 8.25"H | | Item Type Name | LG-APCP1700 1/3 HP, 1745 GPH, Automatic, Submersible, Swimming Pool Cover Pump with 25-Ft.
