Driving Sustainability Through Smarter Water Solutions

Sustainability and using resources responsibly are shaping industries around the world and encouraging more environmentally friendly ways of working. At Little Giant®, taking care of the environment and meeting regulatory standards are key parts of how we innovate. We include these ideas in our research and development to design reliable products and systems that help improve efficiency, performance, and environmental results.

Little Giant recognizes how important it is to protect natural resources and support environmental responsibility in every part of our operations. By focusing on steady improvement, we continue to strengthen our internal practices to create real benefits, including reducing pollution, saving resources, improving energy efficiency, cutting waste and increasing recycling efforts.

Leading Environmental Responsibility Across Global Operations

Little Giant’s commitment to protecting the environment is part of the larger efforts of our parent company, Franklin Electric. With more than 100 locations around the world, Franklin Electric focuses on running efficient operations, improving processes over time and following environmental regulations.

“We advanced initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce waste and energy use, achieving meaningful year-over-year reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and electric power consumption on an intensity basis,” said Franklin Electric CEO, Joe Ruzynski. “We recognize that operational discipline supports both environmental performance and business resilience.”

In our most recent Sustainability Report, we reported a 9% year-over-year drop in Scope 1 emissions intensity and a 3% reduction in total Scope 2 emissions in 2025.

Little Giant is pleased to support these efforts by making efficient, reliable products that help customers meet changing needs while using energy and natural resources more responsibly. With support from global engineering teams and Franklin Electric’s Engineering Design Center, new technology is created to deliver strong performance and support long-term sustainability goals.

Pressure Boosting that Improves Water and Energy Efficiency

Little Giant’s newest offering, VersaBoost Pro™, is an all-in-one pressure boosting system that demonstrates our commitment to efficient and reliable water solutions. It replaces older constant-speed systems with variable speed technology, smart monitoring and a compact design to help lower energy use, reduce water waste and lessen environmental impact in homes and small businesses.

VersaBoost Pro:

• Uses energy more efficiently: VersaBoost Pro uses variable speed control to match demand, keeping pressure steady while using less energy during low-use times. Its modular design also allows systems to scale efficiently as needs grow.
• Helps prevent water waste: With the FE Connect® app and Insite platform, users can track pressure, usage and system issues in real time. This helps quickly spot leaks and inefficiencies.
• Reduces waste in landfills: Built for durability with stainless steel parts and easy service access, the system lasts longer and needs fewer replacements, reducing waste.
• Lessens environmental impact: Remote monitoring and diagnostics through FE Connect® reduce the need for site visits, helping cut travel and related emissions.

VersaBoost Pro comes in two different offerings to meet varying power and flow requirements:

• VersaBoost Pro: Capable of 0.8 hp and flow rates of 18 to 1080 gph
• VersaBoost Pro XT: Capable of 1.1 hp and flow rates of 25 to 1500 gph

Keep Plumbing Systems Safe and Reduce Environmental Impact

Government incentives have encouraged the use of high-efficiency HVAC systems and water heaters. These systems produce fewer emissions, reduce air pollution, use fewer resources and last longer.

However, they also create condensate that can be acidic, similar to that of vinegar. If it is not treated, it can damage plumbing, harm wastewater systems and potentially affect groundwater and the environment. Because of this, updated plumbing codes and EPA guidelines now require condensate to be neutralized before disposal.

The VCMA-20-NPTC Series Neutralizing Condensate Pump and NC-2 Series Condensate Neutralizers offer a simple, reliable solution. They use natural materials like calcite and magnesium oxide to neutralize acidic condensate as it flows through. This helps meet code requirements, protect plumbing from corrosion and prevent pollution.

NC-2 Series Condensate Neutralizers come in a 220,000 BTU/h offering, with both a horizontal and vertical tube-style, and a 300,000 BTU/h horizontal offering.

Our video offers more information about key components of our condensate neutralizers.

Little Giant’s Commitment to Smarter, More Sustainable Solutions

Little Giant continues to improve its products while keeping environmental impact in mind. Backed by Franklin Electric’s efforts in efficient technology, responsible operations and durable design, we help customers use less energy, conserve resources and run systems more efficiently in important applications. Across engineering and manufacturing, we continue to improve our processes with the goal of protecting natural resources and supporting a more sustainable future.
