Description

Water remaining on pool covers for an extended period adds extra weight and can cause ripping or tearing resulting in costly repairs or replacement. The Little Giant APCP-1700 115-volt, 1/3 hp, 1745 gph pump removes water from pool covers, boat covers or rooftops - providing added protection from prolonged accumulation of precipitation. The APCP-1700 easily attaches to a standard 3/4" garden hose for effortless water removal. This pump is equipped with a 1/3 hp energy-efficient, permanent-split capacitor (PSC) motor and 25' cord. The -APCP-1700 activates in approximately 2" of water and shut-off when the water level falls to approximately 1". The APCP-1700 has a wide, weighted base design for added stability. The APCP-1700 is equipped with a 1" FNPT discharge and can be connected to 1" piping for areas that frequently get heavy rain falls (1" to 2" per hour) for increased performance.Protect your investment! Take the pump indoors when temperatures fall below 32 °F as the hose can freeze with water in it preventing water from being expelled from the pump. This can cause the pump to run until the water in the hose melts which can result in excess strain and damage to the motor. Freezing water expands and can cause the pump to crack during freezing weather. Clean the pump yearly to keep your pump running smoothly. Instructions are found in the owner's manual or watch our "Troubleshooting Airlock on the APCP-1700 video."Dimensions (LxWxH) are: 12" x 12" x 8.25" and the weight is approximately 13 lbs.

I have had this pump for nearly 4 years now and it is terrific! Very reliable. If it does get clogged with leaves it’s very easy to clean. Durable to all weather bumps and falls.

Great pool cover pump and works well for emptying one as well. Recommend using 1" radiator hose for maximum flow.

    • Go to cover pump
Color: Dark Blue
This pump performs very well for draining and water transfer tasks. Setup was simple, and it started immediately without any issues. It moves water quickly and runs smoothly without excessive noise. The construction feels solid and durable, which inspires confidence for long-term use. A dependable pump for sump, utility, or emergency water removal. I even had an issue with one that I had purchased and they replaced it with ease. ... show more

    • Prevent Air-Locking
Color: Light Blue
Like others, my pump was constantly getting air-locked. I discovered that you have to carefully route the garden hose. There shouldn't be any "dips" in the hose. My pump was getting air-locked because the hose dipped into a garden box. I re-routed the hose to go around, not inside, the garden box. In other words, the hose should come out of the pool and reach a peak. After the peak, the hose should go constantly downhill to the discharge. You don't want water to get "trapped" in a dip in the hose. In addition, there is a tiny vent hole that should be kept clean. I have a lot of trees and vegetation, so my vent hole was getting clogged with debris. The pump no longer gets air-locked, and it turns on and off reliably. The instructions neglect to say anything about how to properly route the hose. I can't make a definitive judgment about the pump because I have owned it for less than 1 year. The pump seems sturdy, it stayed outside all winter, and it can keep up with heavy rain. The pump also survived on the pool cover during hurricane Sandy in NJ. Little Giant is a well-known maker of quality pumps. The pump is power efficient and only draws 2.2 amps. This is important for an emergency power system that will keep the pump running during hurricanes, outages, etc. Jan. 2016 update: My pump has been working since 2012; it survived hurricane Sandy. I have some more advice. Before the first significant snow/ice/extreme cold, I pull the pump out of the pool. As a result, the pump doesn't spend 1 or 2 months frozen at the bottom of a mountain of snow and ice. This also helps to prevent another problem where the float arm gets stuck in the up position because of ice/cold. This turns the pump on, but it never shuts off, which could cause the pump to burn out. The float arm can also get stuck in the up position when the pump is submerged by very heavy rain. Bumping or jiggling the pump allows the stuck float arm to fall down, thereby shutting off the pump. Amazon notified me that Little Giant had a recall because of the sticking float arm (not caused by ice). They sent me a new pump for free. However, I will continue to use the original pump until it dies. I still get a very infrequent air-lock. I get the impression that an air-lock is most likely when the pump hasn't activated in a long time. You can detect an air-lock because the pump hasn't removed water, the pump is "humming", and the water level on the cover is higher than normal. As the instructions indicate, I leave the pump unplugged from the power for about 10 minutes (longer is better). When I plug it back in, the pump works normally. Do not unplug the pump for just a few seconds because that will not fix the air-lock. In conclusion, I understand that all of these pool cover pumps are problematic. The Little Giant can provide many years of service. You have to "manage" the pump, especially during the winter. Jan. 2017 update: The original pump is still going. March 2021 update: The original pump finally broke. Maybe it can be fixed, but it is not really worth the trouble and the cost of parts when you can just buy a new one. I might take a look when it gets warmer outside. I am very satisfied with the pump. ... show more

    • Defective Pump and Refusal to Provide Spare Part
Color: Light Blue
I purchased this pump in 2023. Since then, I have used it approximately 15 times, with total operating time of less than three hours. Despite such limited use, the impeller has disconnected from the main unit and the pump no longer functions. I contacted Franklin Electric for support, and they advised me to reach out to their major distributor. I did so; however, I was informed that the impeller is not available as a spare part. I was told that the only option is to purchase an entirely new unit in order to fix the issue. The impeller is a critical component of the pump, and it appears to be made of low-quality material. If the company chooses to reduce manufacturing costs by using less durable materials, at the very least spare parts should be made available to customers. It is unreasonable to require customers to replace the entire unit due to failure of a single component, especially after such minimal use. I respectfully request that you reconsider your position and provide a replacement impeller or an appropriate solution under warranty or customer support policy. ... show more
