Little Giant's PE-2H Series small submersible pumps are extremely versatile and can be used for many purposes around the home, in workshops, or in the commercial or industrial field. Applications include statuary fountains, water displays, air conditioners, machine tool coolants and many other applications where liquid must be transferred or recirculated. When used in the normal upright position (discharge pointing upward), the hooded volute helps keep the pump primed if the water level drops below the inlet opening in shallow water.
