Little Giant

In 1950, Goodman filed a patent for what was to become the iconic Little Giant submersible water pump. This “upgraded” Little Giant Vaporizer Pump could be used anywhere water recirculation was an issue: both underwater and on dry land. The basic, self-contained electric motor-driven submersible pump featured an inlet filter with screen and a discharge for the first time. It was a small low-pressure, high-volume pump that was used specifically for the recirculation of water for evaporative coolers, minnow tanks, small pools, fountains, machine tools, and many other water transfer applications.

This pump also paved the way for a wave of new product development in the decades to come. The development of the C2 and C3 pumps signaled the company’s true entrance into the condensate pump business. Little Giant continued to innovate with the introduction of the VCMA condensate pump in 1999. The creation of the VCMA series led to an entire next generation of Little Giant condensate pumps that are still being used today.
