Product Description Specification: Wattage: 8 watts Maximum lift: 4-foot Motor — Wet-Rotor (Hysteresis) Epoxy Encapsulated Intermittent Liquid Temp. up to: 120° F Discharge: 3/8" or 1/2" Slip Housing: ABS Cover: ABS Volute: ABS Impeller: Acetal Screen: ABS This wet-rotor pump, often referred to as a magnetic-drive pump by other manufacturers, utilizes an epoxy encapsulated motor and plastic housing. A permanent magnet is attached to the impeller. The magnet acts as the rotor would in a conventional motor. The water being pumped surrounds the rotor, thus the term "wet-rotor". It is seal-less and oil-less. This pump works well in water garden, statuary and some industrial applications. It is compact in design and is the most energy efficient type of pump Little Giant manufactures. The other side of this efficiency is very little starting torque. Therefore, the pump does not produce as much pressure and will not pump water as high as its' epoxy-encapsulated counterpart. From the Manufacturer Little Giant's multi-purpose pumps are extremely versatile and solve a variety of household needs. These portable pumps are designed to move water out of areas such as shallow flooded basements, tanks, and aquariums.
