The Little Giant 12E-CIA-RF 115 Volt, 1/2 HP effluent pump is designed for high-head performance in deep vault applications while maintaining high-head flow and clog resistance. Designed for 3/4" solids handling, it's best suited for use in commercial applications, including effluent and septic wastewater removal.
This fully automatic pump activates when the liquid level reaches 12 to 15 inches and shuts off when the liquid falls between 6 and 8 inches. The float switch features a piggy-back plug and can easily be converted to a manual pump by unplugging the pump from the switch and plugging the pump directly into the wall outlet making pump maintenance/testing easier. The extra-long 20-foot power cord is ideal for water removal applications in deep vault applications.

4 1/2-5 stars This pump is a solid workhorse with a durable cast iron build that feels like it’ll last a long time. It’s powerful and moves a lot of water, but keep in mind it only handles solids up to 3/4 inch, so it’s not ideal for heavy debris. Setup is straightforward, and the float switch works well for automatic operation. However, it’s heavy at nearly 37 lbs., so moving it around isn’t the easiest. Also, it’s pretty loud when running, so be prepared for some noise. Overall, a strong, reliable pump if you need serious water-moving power.

This Little Giant pump is built like a tank, and the motor is an absolute beast. Cast iron motor housing is going to last many years. Integrated mechanical float switch for automatic operation, no manual oversight needed. Good for continuous duty, will only stop if it hits thermal overload. This can be used in applications where it needs to do a lot of vertical lift.On the downside, it only handles 3/4-inch solids, weights a lot, and is noisy. Overall, this is a good choice for residential or light to moderate commercial septic systems.

It has good quality, made from thick, heavy metal, and operates effectively with sensitivity. It features a reasonably long wire, but the main drawback is the lack of smart functionality. Adding a smart app for phone control would be a great enhancement. Despite this, it is well-made and durable.

It’s been perfect for reaching our tank and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. The blue color might seem like a small detail, but it makes the pump easy to spot and check on, which I appreciate during routine maintenance.Installation was surprisingly straightforward. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person, but the clear instructions made it easy to set up. The pump has been running quietly and efficiently ever since we installed it, and it's been a huge improvement over our old system.

I got this to use in my sewer, my husband is a plumber and was needing one to help keep the water levels at bay. When I opened the box and pulled the pump out the prongs on the electrical cord are completely smushed together so I can't plug it in.

This pump is a beast, you know from the very first use. Definitely a workhorse, and it's size belies just how powerful it is. I was familiar with Little Giant for some time, but this was my first pump of theirs. Quite easy to set up, and no problems with using it. Can handle solids up to the size needed, making it practical for wastewater removal. Ultimately got a second Little Giant pump thanks to how effective this one was on our land.

Was not expecting this to be as heavy as it is. Decently powerful. Seems more on the industrial use side of things than for basic residential usage needs.
