Why it matters

This Little Giant system arrives preassembled: a 1/3 HP automatic pump in a 3.5 gallon polypropylene basin with piping, adapters and O-rings. It collects water from HE washers, utility sinks, dehumidifiers, AC units and water softeners.

An integral diaphragm switch starts it at 4 to 7 in and stops it at 1 to 3 in. Little Giant rates it at 2,760 GPH at 5 ft and 18 ft shutoff. The check valve, discharge pipe and union aren't included.

Who it's for, and who should skip it

Good fit if

  • Washing machines
  • Utility and wet bar sinks
  • Dehumidifiers and softeners

Look elsewhere if

  • Groundwater sump pits
  • Toilets (use a sewage system)
  • Buyers who want everything in the box

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Preassembled
  • Diaphragm switch
  • Compact

Cons

  • Check valve not included
  • Small basin
  • Price

Limitations to weigh

  • Fit a check valve on the discharge so water in the pipe doesn't fall back into the pit after each cycle.
  • Grey water from sinks and washers can carry lint; clean the basin filter regularly.
