Little Giant submersible pond and waterfall pump WGP-80-PW 3500 GPH, 115V dual-discharge, direct-drive 5/8 HP

Engineered for waterfalls, streams, fountains and pond filtration up to about 2,400 gallons, this compact, corrosion-resistant pump uses a high-torque direct-drive motor to start more reliably and maintain higher flow pressure than similar magnetic-drive models. Its reversible mounting (vertical or horizontal), removable pre-filter, and included fittings make it simple to integrate into existing landscape vaults or new installations. The WGP-80-PW balances raw flow with practical features for hobbyist and professional water-feature builders.

How does the dual discharge design improve my backyard waterfall or stream?

The pump’s two 1.25-inch FNPT outlets let you feed two separate features or split flow between a waterfall and a fountain without adding a second pump. You can route equal flow to both outlets for balanced features or restrict one side for a stronger main fall and a gentler secondary outlet.

• Two 1.25-inch female pipe thread discharges for flexible plumbing
• Includes cap and 1.25-inch 90° barbed elbow for quick hookup
• Supports simultaneous operation of two water features
• Eliminates need for parallel pumps in many installations

What performance can I expect from this pump?

The WGP-80-PW moves up to 3,500 gallons per hour at a 1-foot lift and has a maximum shut-off head of about 29.5 feet. Its 5/8 HP direct-drive motor provides better starting torque than typical magnetically driven submersibles, so it handles lift and head losses more effectively.

• 3500 GPH at 1-foot lift; 29.5-foot maximum shut-off
• 115V, 5/8 HP, 6.3 Amps, 673 Watts power specs
• 16-foot power cord for flexible placement
• Designed for ponds up to approximately 2,400 gallons

How does maintenance and debris protection work?

A removable pre-filter surrounds the inlet to reduce debris intake and protect the impeller and motor from clogging or damage. The pre-filter is user-serviceable, so routine cleaning keeps the pump operating at peak efficiency with minimal downtime.

• Removable pre-filter for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Corrosion-resistant housing for non-potable, submersible use
• Simple access to impeller area when filter is removed
• Reduces risk of damage from leaves, gravel, and plant material

Can this pump fit different vaults or fountain basins?

The compact footprint and ability to operate vertically or horizontally let you place the pump in tight waterfall vaults, skimmers, or filter chambers. The included elbow and capped outlet let you adapt plumbing runs without complex fittings.

• Versatile vertical or horizontal mounting options
• Included 90° barbed elbow for hose connections
• 1.25-inch FNPT fittings compatible with common PVC and flexible hose
• Small enough for many pre-cast vaults and custom basins

Who is this for? The Little Giant WGP-80-PW is aimed at homeowners, landscapers and pond hobbyists who need reliable high flow, the flexibility to run two water features from one motor, and a pump that stands up to outdoor use. Choose this model if you want robust starting torque, straightforward plumbing options, and low-effort maintenance for waterfalls, streams, fountains or pond filtration systems up to roughly 2,400 gallons.
