Little Giant 518550 PE-2YSA Submersible Parts Washer Pump, 300 Gallons Per Hour

(ORIGINAL Review September 2016) Strong Output. Solvent safe. Replaces the cheap Harbor Freight pump. See the attached video for my installation into the Harbor Freight parts washer. Installation Notes: The valve above the oil filter serves 2 purposes. 1) Keeps the fluid from siphoning out when you change oil filters. 2) Allows you to adjust the flow rate from full-blast down to a dribble. The full-blast flow rate from this pump is actually so strong that it can cause splashing. Dialing it back just a bit with the valve makes for a much neater operation. Not shown on video. I drilled 3/16 holes in the base of the washer legs to screw the legs to the dolly. Drill these holes while the washer is upside down before you fill it up with solvent. Also, I replaced all fiber lock-nuts and machine screws in the switch box with aircraft grade hardware. Make sure you reinstall two good grounds inside the switch box. I re-crimped high quality lugs onto the ground wires and used solder. The Little Giant pump works great. The big unknown is long-term durability. I will followup on this. UPDATE June 18, 2018: Little Giant pump continues to work perfectly. Output flow remains strong. Original solvent in the tank is now dark from old oil and grease forming on bottom of tank... however, the filtered fluid passing through the oil filter comes out of the flexible nozzle clean and almost clear. This is a great modification! UPDATE July 15, 2021: Still running strong. No issues after 5 years. UPDATE December 2023: Still running strong after 7 years.

The pump works great and is well made. The only thing that is weak is the screen its made of plastic and is not fastened to the pump that well. I was careful when I installed it in my parts cleaner bin I have had it in there now for a year and it is still working great.

Purchased this pump to replace the old pump that was blowing the 1amp fuse in my CRC smart washer sw23. Works great, lots of flow. No longer blowing pump fuse and way cheaper that getting from CRC.

Works perfect, a direct replacement for our parts washer pump, this guy saved me $4,000 from having to buy a new one after our OEM bio clean parts washer pump kicked the bucket.

I bought this pump for a replacement of a cheap king canada 20 gal part washer. If you do that, you have to by some pieces and do a home made fit. It work perfectly. Hope it will last longer with this pump because i use petroleum solvent.
