Its submersible design and energy-efficient motor make it a staple for seasonal pool maintenance, especially during the unpredictable Mediterranean winter months.

How to Use & Application

Using the Little Giant APCP-1700 is straightforward. Simply place the pump on the lowest point of your pool cover where water naturally collects.
