Little Giant submersible fountain pump 170 GPH — 115V, 1/125 HP, 15-ft cord, black

The Little Giant PE-1F-PW is a compact, epoxy-filled submersible direct-drive fountain pump that delivers up to 170 gallons per hour for statuary fountains, hydroponic setups, and general water circulation.

Small but sturdy, this 115-volt pump combines a corrosion-resistant housing with a pre-filtered intake and a 15-foot power cord so you can place it where your pond, fountain, or reservoir needs circulation. Built to run fully submerged, the PE-1F-PW offers higher starting torque than many magnetic-drive pumps, making it a reliable option for continuous operation in water features, hydroponic systems, and light transfer tasks.

How much flow and head can this pump deliver?

The PE-1F-PW is rated up to 170 gallons per hour at a 1-foot lift and is capable of running at a shutoff condition for short periods. Its modest horsepower and efficient motor are designed to handle routine circulation rather than heavy-duty pumping tasks.

• Maximum flow: 170 GPH (at 1 ft lift)
• Shutoff: approximately 7 feet (pressure-dependent)
• Discharge size: 1/4-inch MNPT threaded outlet for easy fittings
• Motor specs: 115 V, 1/125 HP, 0.6 A, 36 W

What features protect the pump and simplify maintenance?

The pump includes a screened intake and removable pre-filter to keep debris away from the impeller, plus an epoxy-filled motor housing for corrosion resistance. These features reduce the chance of clogs and extend the unit’s usable life when properly maintained.

• Pre-filter screens out particles and is removable for cleaning
• Polypropylene volute and impeller resist corrosion and wear
• Glass-filled polyester housing and cover add structural durability
• Impedance protection helps prevent motor damage from electrical stress

Where and how can I install this pump safely?

Designed for continuous submersed use, place the pump on any stable underwater surface that supports its weight. Ensure the motor stays submerged while running to keep it cooled, and route the 15-foot cord to a properly grounded outlet with GFCI protection for outdoor or wet-area safety.

• Must run submerged—water cools the motor
• Place on flat, supportive surface to avoid vibration
• Use the rotatable volute to orient discharge for your plumbing needs
• Power: 15-foot cord allows flexible placement from outlet

Which applications suit this Little Giant pump best?

This model fits small to medium decorative fountains, statuary, indoor hydroponic reservoirs, and light transfer needs where modest flow and quiet operation are priorities. It’s not intended for sewage, heavy solids, or high-head industrial pumping.

• Ideal: statuary fountains, tabletop and garden water features
• Great for small hydroponic setups and circulation in tanks
• Not designed for heavy solids, waste water, or large pond circulation
• Compact size suits tight installations and concealed placements

Who is this for: The Little Giant PE-1F-PW is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and hobbyists who need a dependable, low-power submerged pump for decorative water features, small hydroponic systems, or light water transfer. Choose this unit if you want energy-efficient continuous circulation with a protected impeller, a long power cord for flexible placement, and corrosion-resistant materials that stand up to wet environments. If you need high-head performance, heavy solids handling, or above-water operation, consider a different model built for those demands.
