Why it matters
The 5-ASP has a piggyback diaphragm switch: it starts at 6 to 9 in of water and stops between 1 and 4 in. The piggyback plug also lets you run it manually.
It's epoxy-coated die-cast aluminum with an oil-free 1/6 HP PSC motor, upper and lower ball bearings and a triple-lip seal. Little Giant rates it at 1,500 GPH, 26 ft shutoff and 2.0 running amps.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Automatic switch
- Ball bearings
- Cast aluminum
Cons
- Price
- Low flow
- Leaves 1 to 4 in
Limitations to weigh
- Check your pit diameter against the switch: vertical floats fit narrow pits, tethered floats need room to swing.
- Rated flow is at little or no lift; through a garden hose or up a stairwell, expect much less.
