Pedestal sump pumps are the right choice for narrow sump pits under 12 inches in diameter — where standard submersible pumps cannot fit or would overheat. The Little Giant VCMA-20ULST sits above the pit with only the intake strainer submerged, keeping the motor cool and accessible for inspection without opening the sump pit cover. Its 1/3 HP motor delivers 1,500 GPH and its high-cycle float switch is rated for 250,000 on/off cycles — far exceeding the typical 100,000-cycle rating of lesser pedestal units. The sealed motor housing protects against the high humidity environment of sump pits. Little Giant has been manufacturing sump and sewage pumps in the U.S. for over 70 years and backs this unit with a 2-year warranty.
