Little Giant 6EC and 10EC Series pumps from Franklin Electric provide lower current draw, higher energy efficiency, and improved performance in sump, dewatering, water transfer and light effluent applications. They have cast iron covers and a polypropylene base that includes the stainless steel plate. Additional models are available with a durable cast iron base, providing increased intake area, reducing intake velocities and clogging potential. The 1/3 hp 6EC Series consumes 5 amps while producing 53 gpm at 5 feet of head and reaching a maximum shut-off of 28 feet. The 1/2 hp 10EC Series has a full-load rating of 6.5 amps and produces 67 gpm at 5 feet of head with a maximum shut-off of 36 feet. They are designed for continuous duty, with permanent split-capacitor motors with thermal overload protection, and handle solids up to 1/2 inch in diameter. 260/824-2900; www.littlegiant.com.
