Default Question for Little Giant pump users

The 4mdq max is 850usgph@1'tdh and flow decreases from there as head increases. Obvious signs of starvation are excessive pump noise due to cavitation (gravel/marbles going through pump) & *not* motor overheating. IME they do run hot and if the pump is new it will smell for a bit while "breaking in". Sure way to tell whats going on is see if you can get a hold of a meter and check the amp draw. If thats below motor specs you are fine. If not.... [img]smile.gif[/img]
