Why does my Little Giant APCP-1700 Water Pump run but not discharge liquid?
- A
  Andrew GonzalezAug 19, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump runs but doesn't discharge liquid, consider these possibilities: * **Lift too high:** Verify the lift isn't too high for the pump's rated performance. * **Inlet blockage:** The inlet to the impeller may be plugged, requiring you to pull the pump and clean it. * **Air lock:** Shut the power off for about a minute, then restart. Repeat this several times to clear any air from the pump. * **Outlet blockage:** Inspect the outlet tubing for kinks or blockages, and clear any slime or debris. Clean the inlet and outlet piping as well. * **Frozen hose:** Thaw or replace the discharge hose if the water is frozen inside.

  Mark DeckerAug 22, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump won't shut off, here are a few things to check: * **Air lock:** Try shutting the power off for about 1 minute, then restart. Repeat this several times to clear air from the pump. If this doesn't work, clean the vent hole. * **Liquid inflow:** The liquid inflow might match or exceed the pump's output capacity, requiring multiple or a larger pump. * **Frozen hose:** Check for frozen water in the discharge hose; thaw it or replace the hose if necessary. * **Defective switch:** The pump's switch might be defective. In this case, replace the pump.

  ituckerAug 27, 2025
  If your Little Giant Swimming Pool Pump runs but doesn't discharge liquid, consider the following: * Check if the lift is too high for the pump's capacity. Refer to the pump's rated performance. * The inlet to the impeller might be plugged. If so, pull the pump and clean it. * The pump may be air locked. Shut the power off for about 1 minute, then restart. Repeat this several times. If it still doesn't work, clean the vent hole according the MAINTENANCE section. * The outlet flow could be blocked. Inspect the outlet tubing for kinks or blockages, and clear any slime or debris. Also, clean the inlet and outlet piping. * Check for frozen water in the discharge hose. Thaw or replace the hose if frozen.

  Steven GutierrezAug 30, 2025
  If your Little Giant Swimming Pool Pump won't shut off, there are several potential causes: * Check for obstructions in the float's movement path after removing the float access cover, and clear any debris. * The pump might be air locked. Try shutting off the power for about 1 minute, then restart it. Repeat this process several times. If the problem persists, clean the vent hole according the MAINTENANCE section. * The liquid inflow may match or exceed the pump's output capacity, requiring a multiple or larger pump. Refer to Capacity sizing. * Frozen water in the discharge hose can also prevent shutoff. Thaw or replace the hose. * The switch might be defective, requiring pump replacement.

Why Little Giant Water Pump cycles continually?
- J
  Jerry GordonSep 2, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump cycles continually, consider these potential causes: * **No check valve:** If there's no check valve in a long discharge pipe, water may be draining back onto the cover. Install a check valve in the discharge line. * **Leaking check valve:** Inspect the check valve for correct operation, as it may be leaking. * **Defective switch:** The pump's switch might be defective, requiring you to replace the pump. * **Clogged volute:** The volute may be clogged, so clean the screen and basket. * **Thermal protector:** The thermal protector might be activated; allow the pump to cool. * **GFCI device:** The GFCI device may be activated; inspect all electrical connections and reset the GFCI.

Why Little Giant Water Pump does not deliver rated capacity?
- J
  Joshua McintoshSep 5, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, here are some things to investigate: * **Lift too high:** Verify that the lift isn't too high for the pump. Check the rated pump performance. * **Low voltage:** Ensure that the supply voltage matches the nameplate rating, as low voltage can slow the pump's speed. * **Clogged components:** The impeller or discharge pipe might be clogged. Pull the pump and clean it, and check the pipe for scale or corrosion. * **Hose diameter:** The discharge hose diameter might be too small. Replace it with a larger diameter hose.

What causes the protector to trip on a Little Giant APCP-1700?
- C
  christinaharrisonSep 8, 2025
  The protector on your Little Giant Water Pump might be tripping due to motor overload or overheating. Here are potential causes: * **Obstructed impeller:** The pump impeller might be obstructed. Pull the pump and clean it, and check the pipe for scale or corrosion. * **Air-locked pump:** The pump might be air-locked. Shut the power off for about 1 minute, then restart. Repeat several times to clear air from the pump. * **Voltage supply:** There might be excessively high or low voltage supply. * **End of life:** The pump, motor, bearings, or seal may have reached the end of their useful life, requiring pump replacement.

  If your Little Giant Swimming Pool Pump cycles continually, here are some things to investigate: * A missing check valve in a long discharge pipe can allow water to drain back, so install a check valve in the discharge line. * A leaking check valve can cause cycling, so inspect the check valve for correct operation. * The volute might be clogged. Clean the screen and basket. * Obstructions to the float can cause cycling. Remove the float access cover and clear the float's movement path of any debris. * The thermal protector might be activated. Allow the pump to cool. * The GFCI device might be activated. Inspect all electrical connections and reset the GFCI. * A defective switch may cause continuous cycling, requiring pump replacement.
