About Product Overview

The Little Giant Direct Drive Pond Pump moves up to 170 gallons per hour, making it a good fit for small water features, fountains, or tabletop displays rather than large ponds. Its direct drive design is self-priming, so it starts moving water on its own without extra setup once submerged. The aluminum housing resists corrosion, which matters for a pump that lives in water full-time, and the switchless design keeps things simple - plug it in and it runs.

With a maximum head of 7 feet, this pump has enough lift to feed a modest spitter or small waterfall. It's built for continuous submerged use in water temperatures between 33 and 120 degrees, and it carries UL compliance along with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

  • Maximum discharge flow: 170 GPH
  • Maximum feet of head: 7
  • Housing material: aluminum, corrosion resistant
  • Self-priming, switchless on/off operation
  • Discharge pipe size: 1/4 inch
  • 115V AC, UL compliant, 1-year warranty

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to open the other tab. Everybody does. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise — so open it. We'll wait.

When you're over there, check four things before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Little Giant. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

We're not always the cheapest.

Sometimes you'll find it for less. Sometimes you'll find it for more. On a lot of brands the number is identical everywhere it's sold legitimately — the manufacturer sets a minimum advertised price and every authorized dealer holds it. When a price sits well under that, it's worth asking why before it's worth celebrating.

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.
