Frequently Asked Questions
Are Little Giant WGFP pumps safe for koi and pond fish?
Yes, absolutely. All models in the Little Giant WGFP direct-drive series utilize an oil-free Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) motor design. This guarantees that no toxic oils or chemical lubricants can ever leak into your water column, keeping your fish, invertebrates, and live pond plants completely safe.
What does "solids-handling" mean for these water feature pumps?
Unlike standard utility pumps that clog instantly from small debris, WGFP pumps are explicitly engineered to pass organic waste, sludge, small twigs, and leaf matter without binding the internal impeller. The WGFP-75 and WGFP-100 can safely pass spherical solids up to 1-3/8" in diameter, while the WGFP-150 and WGFP-200 handle up to 3/4" solids.
Can the WGFP series be mounted horizontally or vertically?
These pumps are highly versatile and can be installed either horizontally or vertically inside a pond skimmer vault or pump canyon. To prevent motor overheating or premature bearing wear, the pump must remain fully submerged in water during operation to provide continuous mechanical cooling.
