Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers and editors highlight the Little Giant APCP-1700 as an industry-leading solution for preventing pool cover damage due to its high flow rate and automatic operation. They praise its energy-efficient motor, quick activation, and robust construction, noting it is ideal for all types of pool covers. However, in-depth expert tests are scarce, with descriptions focusing primarily on specifications rather than hands-on verdicts.
What Users Say
Consumer feedback is sparse but generally positive regarding ease of use and effectiveness. Users commonly praise the pump's portability and ability to remove water quickly. The most recurring complaint is the tendency for the pump to air lock, which stops operation and requires manual fixes, such as using two hoses to prevent air intake.
Common Complaints
Pump stops working due to air locking, requiring manual reset or dual hose setup. Flow rate drops drastically (to ~500 GPH) when using 50-foot garden hoses
