Hey man, I want to replace a little giant pump 505375 for my front yard waterfall. If not available, will this pump work without any maintanence???

Ok, when mine ran, it ran well. The screen is decent to keep leaves out but might clog quickly outdoors so perhaps you might want to make a prescreen out of hardware cloth or something to keep the big chunks out? If there pump screen does get clogged, it just snaps off for cleaning and impeller access. pressure is good but depending on what you are running by way of a fountain, you might want to check the head loss. If in doubt, always go for a bigger (volume) pump and put a valve in it to slow the flow down if need be. The pump does NOT come with a float switch so you will have to watch if you have a situation where the pump could run dry. Ok, when mine ran, it ran well.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

An application like a water fall needs a pump rated for " Continous Duty ". Also known as " Service factor ". Get one rated properly. Continous duty is anything operating over 3 hours straight. A Service Factor of 1.15 or greater would be best. Contact the manufacturer's web sight for proper selection.

Sorry for my delayed response... I already installed the pump and it's at one of my rentals... the only helpful info I think that I can give you is the manufacturers box that the pump came in dimensions....The box is 7.5" wide x 10.25" long x 10.25" tall(outside measurement). The footprint of the pump is smaller than this so it sounds like it should work. The float goes straight up and down so it needs no more room than that. Hope that helps you! It appears to be a very solid built pump!

I'm not sure what size hose connections your old pump has and as far as horse power, the replacement pump is 1/2 the horse power as your old pump. and the replacement pump can be switched to 1/2 of that. So based on the horse power rating, it may not be the best suitable replacement. the way i found mine, was to do a search with the name and horse power of the old puimp and then started going down the search list until i found one that was as close to mine and a price that was was reasonable. prices can vary greatly so be careful.

Most local authorities do not allow a water powered pump as a primary pump, only as a secondary, or emergency backup pump. I suppose they look at the water usage as an issue. As to whether it would function as a primary, that depends on the amount of water you get in the sump and the water supply to the pump.

I have the Hayward Super Pump. Not sure of the HP it was dark when I got home tonight. I'll check it and let your know.

You know, the only one I have ever had was the one without the pump, so I'm not sure if it would fit. Maybe someone else would have that answer for you. Wish I could be more helpful.

Thomas, sorry I've been away and just read my emails from the past few days. As for your question, I'm not sure how you are thinking of hooking up the pump to the sprinkler, however, I will say this, this pump has a lot of pressure behind it. My guess is, you would bring the 1.25" outlet down to a garden hose, and then to the sprinkler? If that is the case, I would have to say it would to the trick. I hope I helped you out in some way.

Either way works. My float died after a few months. I had to transfer one off an old pump.

Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain. It would be possible to hook up a garden hose to it if you have the right diameter fitting to muscle it in from the outside and w/o actually blocking it. It may be possible to get a male fitting from the inside (through the top rectangular vent) but I suspect it would be hard because of the small area to work with within the knob cavity itself. I have mine hooked up to the gutter with the Oatey 14209 Mystic Rainwater Collection System. I actually punched a hole on the top of the barrel with a paddle drill bit to get a perfect fitting with the hose. Good luck. Richard: Yes, the knob on the front top is the overflow drain.

Would depend on pump you have. Waterfall would be perfered but a small fountain should be ok.

I think just fine. My pond, and pump at bottom of pond has a 10' rise up a winding creek bed to a waterfall. Works great. Thanks for asking.

I do not know the answer to this question, as this pump is being used at the deer lease. I suggest you contact the manufacturer.

I don't have an answer for you on that one. I didn't try what you did. The pump worked fine, we are using it as a spare.

I don't know about your pump but this wasn't an exact replacement for mine. It was about 20 psi lower than I had. I have a 22 foot boat and this was the on demand freshwater pump. It worked great and I ordered a second as a spare. The cost of this pump was lses than half of the pump that was in there. Its been a year. All good.

I had a Baqua Pure pump from the same place and replaced it with pump in question and works great. Mine was for a 24' above ground pool. Hope this will help you.

Been so long I can't remember but that number looks like the number on the old pump/motor so I would say yes... It is returnable if you don't use it.

I installed this pump and check valve to a existing system. I replaced the check valve with a new one and it didn't come with the pump. We used her tank. She uses the water for her yard like you and the last time I talked to her she was very happy with the pump. The check valve I bought was the TC2505LF 1-1/4-Inch Check Valve. It was a little more expensive then another one but just wanted to do this once and be done.
