Little Giant 1-Series 115V 205 GPH Small Submersible Utility Pump — oil-filled, compact

The Little Giant 1-Series 115V 205 GPH submersible utility pump is a compact, oil-filled circulation pump built for continuous water transfer and recirculation in commercial, industrial, and home settings.

Built with an epoxy-coated cast aluminum housing and polypropylene internal components, this small submersible pump delivers reliable low-energy performance for fountains, water features, air-conditioning lines, machine-tool coolant recirculation, and other light-duty transfer tasks. Rated at 205 gallons per hour at 1-foot lift and capable of a 7.4-foot shut-off head, it combines a screened intake and a 1/4-inch MNPT discharge (with included 90° elbow) to simplify installation while protecting the impeller from debris.

How much flow and head can I expect from this pump?

This model produces up to 205 GPH at a 1-foot lift and will push water against a maximum static head of 7.4 feet before shutting off. Performance is best in short runs with minimal elevation change; long vertical lifts or restrictive plumbing will reduce flow.

• Rated flow: 205 GPH at 1 ft lift
• Maximum shut-off head: 7.4 feet
• Discharge size: 1/4-inch MNPT with included 90° elbow
• Ideal for low-lift recirculation and short-transfer tasks

Is it energy efficient and safe to run continuously?

The pump uses a low-energy 115 V motor drawing 1.1 amps (70 watts) and is impedance-protected for longer life. It's CSA listed for the USA and Canada, and the oil-filled motor design helps with heat dissipation during continuous operation.

• Electrical: 115 V, 1.1 A, 70 W, 60 Hz
• Impedance-protected motor for thermal safety
• Oil-filled design improves heat handling for continuous service
• CSA listed for North American safety standards

What installation and maintenance features help reliability?

The bottom intake is screened to block debris, insects, and larger particles that could damage the impeller; the prescreen is removable for cleaning. A 1/4" MNPT discharge and included 90° elbow make plumbing straightforward, and the compact footprint fits into tight basins or equipment housings.

• Screened bottom intake with removable prescreen
• Includes 90° elbow for flexible discharge orientation
• Compact epoxy-coated cast aluminum housing resists corrosion
• Polypropylene volute, impeller and screen for chemical and water resistance

What liquids and applications is this pump suitable for?

Designed for clean water and low-viscosity liquids, the pump is commonly used in statuary fountains, small water displays, A/C condensate lines, and machine-tool coolant recirculation. Avoid abrasive slurries, thick fluids, or liquids with heavy solids that can clog or damage the impeller.

• Suitable: fountains, decorative water features, condensate, coolants
• Not suitable: abrasive slurries, high-viscosity liquids, heavy solids
• Screen protects impeller from typical contaminants
• Compact size suits confined installations

Who is this pump for? If you need a small, energy-efficient submersible pump for continuous recirculation or short transfers of clean water—whether for a garden statuary, a decorative water display, HVAC condensate handling, or light industrial coolant circulation—the Little Giant 1-Series 115V 205 GPH pump is a practical choice. It appeals to homeowners, landscapers, maintenance technicians, and light-industrial operators who value compact size, easy installation (1/4" MNPT and elbow included), screened intake protection, and a CSA-listed, oil-filled motor for dependable continuous use. For installations requiring higher heads, larger flows, or abrasive handling, consider a different model with greater capacity or solids-handling ability.
