Excellent sump for emergency egress window well which flooded my basement. This pump has an automatic on-off activated by the presence of 1-1/2″ water. Here are some installation tips: 1. The dual plug arrangement alluded to in another review, now comes as two wires connected to a single plug. 2. Although the right angle adapter to fit a garden hose included with the pump is attractive and simple, using a check valve is recommended to avoid back flow of the column of water in the hose; this can cause the pump to cycle on and off as the water flows back and triggers the pump to start again. I could not find a way to attach a check valve to the garden hose without a bit of adapting and additional fittings. 3. The Universal check valve suggested in Amazon as a bundle requires additional fittings; instead, buy the $6.95 Everbilt Sump Pump Check Valve part #THD1021, available at Home Depot. This is 1-1/4″ threaded to fit directly onto the sump pump without additional fittings. 4. With hose clamps, you can attach the 24 foot Universal discharge hose kit directly to the 1-1/4″ slip fit outflow end of the check valve. The hose clamps are included with the hose kit. This is the simplest arrangement allowing use of a check valve, without a lot of adapters/additional fittings. 5. I dug a hole in the window well deep enough to place a 4″ deep kitchen type plastic wash basin so the top edge of the basin was at the window well ground level. I set the sump pump into the basin after drilling multiple small holes in the side and bottom of the basin. This allows water to enter the basin and start the pump well before the water level reaches the ground level of the window well, which is about 4″ below the window sill.Read more

This pump works great, HOWEVER, the electronic eye that activates the pump can become clouded with dirt or debris causing pump to cycle on and off continuously even when water level is too low to activate the electronic switch normally. We ended up wrapping the base with a tight weave nylon screen (more of a privacy window screen as opposed to normal window screen) and securing it with cable ties to filter out mud and sludge. Since this pump pulls water from the absolute bottom of the pump, it will pull up any sludge that accumulates in the bottom of your sump pit or window well. Also, if that same sludge is allowed to dry out and that cloudy water dries on the sensor, the same will occur resulting in you having to remove the pump and clean the eye or worse yet, remove the impeller and clean it. The screen has helped with this in that we can remove it and clean it, which is much easier. But don’t think you can walk away and never think about this pump once installed. It requires monitoring at least monthly, and cleaning quarterly if only relatively clean water enters the pump. In window well applications, however, it is very common for dirt and leaves to settle in the bottom so when rains comes, it’s highly likely this pump will draw up more than pure clean water. In basement sump applications, ground water is usually running over, or seeping through, dirt; and even with a gravel screen, that water is far from clean. We have, on occasion, just unplugged the unit and let the pit fill with more water—seems to soak the dirty sensor free of dirt. Once water level reaches about 3 inches deep, we’ll plug it back in and it works perfectly—for awhile.Read more

Pump seems to be fairly solid, but is likely going back to Amazon. Bought this for a door-well that has flooded into my basement multiple times. Description of the pump is a bit misleading – it may pump down to 3/8″ of water, but you need ~1.5″ of water for the sensor to start. Next, the garden hose adapter appears to have the right threads on it, but, when you screw it into the pump, the “out” end of the adapter points in the wrong direction – mostly down in my case. Who ever did the treading must have a sick sense of humor.Read more

This great little pump has saved my home from flooding during numerous rain events. Whenever rain is in the forecast, I place the pump in my patio and when my patio floods, the pump automatically turns on and quickly diverts the water to an outside culvert. Also, I had a great experience with the Wayne company. I recently called to purchase a hose fitting and the kind lady on the phone sent it to me free of charge, using priority mail. There was nothing wrong with the original hose fitting. I just wanted to have one in hand as a back up. I highly recommend this pump and the Wayne company.Read more

Had three inches of water in the large basement because old pump, which sits in a little sump pit, failed when the water heater cracked and ran all over the floor. I always hated the float swich gizmos on the old pumps, as they would bind and not work properly from time to time. Bought this specifically because of the solid-state swich. Also bought a backflow preventer for $6, the one Amazon recommended. It was delivered the same day by Lasership for free, at a great Amazon price. Unboxed the stuff, screwed the backflow preventer onto the pump, attached the garden-hose elbow to the backflow preventer (be sure to look at the arrow on the preventer so it points away from the pump, i.e. in direction you want water to go), connected garden hose, and dropped the assemblage in our little sump pit. The hose ran up the basement stairs about 15 feet, then across the lawn to a cistern drain about 50 feet away. I waited, to make sure it was running with a decent flow, and split for a few hours. I came back to find that the flow had stopped. I growled and inspected the hose for kinks or freezing (it’s cold here now). Finding none, I opened the door to the basement and looked in, only to find that this little gem had pumped everything out and shut off on its own. An A+ performance, and the thing seems robust enough to function as our full-time sump pump.Read more

Garden hose adapter that came with the unit is facing straight downwards when installed. No way to get it in there facing upwards or sideways.. the application I bought it for requires the hose going upwards in a tight space, now I’ve got to waste time trying to find a different adapter that will work. This is an easy sign of poor QC in production.Read more

We used this pump for a crawlspace at our cottage. We tested it out and it works very well, quickly taking out most of the water. It is sitting in an indented area of the rock. The 1 1/4 inch output ideally should go vertical rather then horizontal. We have some concern about sand seeping into it, but it didn’t work properly when we put a screen around it. We like the fact that it has a water sensor that turns on and off automatically.Read more

Life saver! My window well filled with water and my basement flooded. I recently bought this pump but was lazy enough to install in the egress window well. I connected it with the hose and dropped it in the well. It started and ran until he water pumped out. It’s a must-have, especially if you have egress windows. You can see in the picture that there is no water in my window well and the pump is in it. I would buy another for my Furnace Room.Read more

Yes you pay extra $ for the automatic feature but it is worth it if you want to leave the pump unsupervised. One thing to note: it drains water down to 1 centimeter but it needs 4.5 centimeters of water to start! The level of water in our basement needed to raise before it got drained back to the floor level. Still 5*, my second Wayne pump and satisfied so farRead more

This pump barely fit in my drain but in the end, I liked that because it keeps it out of the mud and dirt. This pump is constantly in use and seems to do the job. Its great that it has the water float to turn its self on. It does make a fair bit of noise, but I am happy so far.Read more
