#3 Wayne CDU980 3/4 HP Sump Pump, January 21, 2008 By RobtD from Montville, NJ I bought this to replace another "quality" pump that failed in less than two years. Installation was easy, the pump is quiet, fast, and efficient, and solved my basement water problem. A great product!
Finally I can sleep, January 21, 2008 By Suryoyo from Paramus, NJ Our home is in a flood zone. We also have water way behind our home, I would check the waters running or accumulating in the back every time we had a pouring rain, with adding this sump pump I can really feel I do not have to worry, I check to make sure it works and no problem, I installed one at my parents basement too. Great pump, it worth every dollar you spent and easy to install."
Great Pump, October 29, 2007 By Joefrmtx from Richardson, TX I have had 2 of these pumps in use for 2 years with no problems. They pump rain water over my roof to prevent flooding in my atrium and have functioned properly each time the water has raised, which has been quite often in Texas.
Top Quality Product, November 17, 2006 By MDShellback from Southern Maryland This pump is a gem. Constructed of top-shelf materials, the fit and finish is flawless. It is very quiet and really moves water in a hurry. I estimate that it empties the sump in about 8-10 seconds. It runs circles around the piece of junk I pulled out of the pit. A bit more expensive than similar models by other manufacturers, but I expect it to be running years from now based on its stainless steel construction and excellent design. The lifetime warranty (included with the pump) proves to me that the manufacturer is willing to stand behind their product. In my opinion, the pump is such a fine example of high-quality American workmanship that its kind of a shame that no one will see it now that it's installed.

Early Impressions, April 19, 2009 By P. Lundberg
It is hard to do a review on this because as we all know, one of the most important features of a sump pump is its reliability, and I simply have not had it long enough to know that. So keep that in mind as you read this.
Do not buy this pump if your water softener drains into the sump., December 17, 2009 By T. Dog MACHESNEY PARK, ILLINOIS USA
Just FYI, this pump cannot be used if your water softener brine drains into the sump pit. The salty brine water "fools" the "Switch Genius" and the pump runs constantly. I have confirmed this with Wayne Pumps. Other than that, the pump works great and is very quiet. I am going to have to buy another pump without the "Switch Genius" technolgy.
Wayne Sump Pump, November 28, 2009 By R. Zink
I've had the Wayne pump running for about a month now and it's performance has been flawless. So far I would recommend this pump to others.

Excellent choice, October 19, 2009
By Wonder from
Jacksonville, FL
I bought this Wayne Sump pump of 1/3 HP witch electronic switch.
I always pump basement water as soon as reached the water level. No need to worry about switch.
Great Pump, April 21, 2008 By Drivenow from NH This pump did the trick!! I was worried about the whole sensor thing but it has been 2 weeks now and the basement is dry. I would say it is one of the quietest pumps I have heard. Good solid construction gives me confidence that this pump will last a long time. |
#7 CDU790 1/3 HP
CDU790 Sump Pump Review, March 12, 2009 By Lawrence Coppari
Pump arrived promptly and works as advertised. I am a satisfied customer. I have no hesitation recommending this pump.
Do Not Buy Unreliable , December 21, 2008 By A. Miles I like the pump design I have had both ACE and Wayne 1/3 and 1/2 HP pumps. There are two problems - switch life is 2 years or less depending how often its used. The float rod is regular steel and rusts causing the float to stick, which causes the pump to stay on or off. I can't figure why Wayne would make a great pump with lousy parts. Yup I can see this is a typical American manufacturer; no life testing and poor quality control. Recommend you stay away from Wayne pumps. Remember you don't need the pump when its dry - they fail when you need them the most, in a rain storm at 2 pm or when your on vacation, again stay away from these Wayne pumps. They have known about these design flaws for years and done nothing about it. GREAT WORKING SUMP PUMP, May 11, 2008 By R Adams I bought one of these 12 years ago and it still worked, but the shut of switch quit. I decided not to fix that, get a new one, not only did it get used for the cockpot in basement, but the washing machine was run through the cockpot so the sump pump got a good work out every day. Don't buy the pedestal type, they only last 1 or 2 years, the submersible pumps are the way to go, very dependable and will last for years. Great Product, June 20, 2008 By Handy Man Cincinnati, OH
This item was easy to install and has work great.

#9 Wayne WST30 3/10 HP
Bought 2 work fine for our granite shop, March 23, 2009 By D. Worrell We bought 2 of these for our granite shop. We don't pre-filter them, so they pump out anything that goes through their strainers (1/2" I think). They showed up fast like always & are priced better than anywhere else I went.
Not the quality or durability expected from a Wayne Pump., September 14, 2008 By S.A. Robbins, USA
Last time we needed a Sump Pump, we bought a Wayne. We thought it would (should) last longer than the previous Flotec pump. Well it did not last that long, about a year longer than the Flotec. In 25 years, we have gone through 5 Sump Pumps. A Sears, Simer (no parts after 4 years!), Flotec (twice) and now the Wayne. I had bought a Wayne Cast Iron Sump Pump CDU-790 as backup and installed that when the WST-30 failed. The WST-30 acted as though it was tripping the internal thermal protector. It would stop running and then 1/2 hour later it would finally startup. For the last 2 days we have had a very heavy rain and the WST-30 was running quite a bit but it should not have overheated sitting in cool water! The impeller did not turn freely and I suspect the bearings were worn out already. In the meantime I used an Auxiliary pump to get the water level down and then installed the new pump. Our Sump does not fill up to trip the Sump Pump very often so these Sump Pumps should last a lot longer. Really disappointed with Wayne and the other manufacturers.

#11 Flotec FPOS3200A 1/2 HP
Worked flawlessly for 11 years!, April 27, 2009 By Techmonster I have a crawlspace that runs anywhere from 12" to 18" high (extremely tight), 3 houses from a lake. The house is on very low land (the land is actually at lake level), and if the weather so much as drizzles, there is standing water under the house. In the Spring and Fall, this Flotec pump kicks on roughly every 2 minutes, 24 hours a day, during these rainy seasons. I installed it over 11 years ago, and it has never failed to do just that... pump water out every 2 minutes.... for all that time. It just now seems to have finally given up the ghost. Considering the CONSTANT workload thrown at this thing, you can't possibly ask for more. You DO need to anchor it to the bottom of the plastic pit-tub with some rocks/bricks to keep it steady and in position (lean them on top of the base), but if you simply take the time to install it properly like that, it works like crazy! Never had one single problem where it failed to operate. I am buying another one right now as it is replacement and expect it to provide another decade of non-stop workhorse service!
Dead when you need it, January 8, 2009 By Cebell Berry
My house has a crawl space about 2 feet high under the house. This area floods during heavy rains. Last sump pump rusted and I had to crawl through the cold, dark water to find it and reinstall with this Flotec. I tested it several times. What happens? It fails its first real test, only several months later, during a dire flood. The float lifted, but the pump didn't activate. What good is a warranty when your house is flooding?

#12 Flotec 1800A 1/4 HP
This sump PUMPS..., January 15, 2009 By Capt. D.
I installed this unit when another larger, cast iron, older ( more expensive) unit failed. It was easy to connect and once installed, it pumped and pumped and pumped. San diego just got almost as much rain in Dec as we got all last year; this pump handled all the water with no problem! I'm hoping for many years of service from it as it has a plastic housing instead of cast iron which corrodes in a year or two. p.s. Sometimes using a smaller HP sump pump is better as the pump does not pump so fast that it empties the "sump" only to stop and then have start up again once the sump fills; remember the sump pump is cooled by being in contact with the water, so it is not good to have the sump pump above water.
Sump Pump, February 23, 2008 By E. Chicago, IL
The pump works well. Customer service was helpful and polite on the telephone when we had a question about the installation. Pump did not come with instructions, but information is available on the internet.

#13 Simer 2905 1/4 HP
Worked as expected!! By None Wyoming on June 19, 2008
Powerful, Quite. Needs a longer cord.
This is a sump pump and I need it to work flawlessly to keep my basement from flooding. So far, so good.

#14 Zoeller M57 1/3 HP
A fantastic pump - that lasts and lasts., October 14, 2008 By Brian Denton
I have an unusual set-up in my house: my roof drains rainwater into my basement sump pump pit, and the water is then pumped out through the house's waste line. Because of this set-up, my sump pump gets a real workout on a regular basis, and it also has to accommodate dirt, sand, grit, and some leaves. Recently the switch wore out on my Zoeller M53 sump pump after over 10 years of worry free use. I initially searched Home Depot and Lowes for a new pump, but reviews of their pumps frequently reported major problems after as little as 2 years of light use! Also, their pumps are not equipped to deal with small solids, so it didn't take much thought to decide that I should replace a Zoeller with another Zoeller. This time I bought the Zoeller M57 model, but the only difference between the M57 and the M53 is whether the base structure is made of plastic or iron. I don't really see much advantage of either one over the other, but I bought the M57 with the iron base. I can sleep easy again knowing that no matter how much it rains, my Zoeller M57 can handle the job with ease.
Hoping for better performance, August 3, 2009 By K Smith
Recently I replaced a previous Zoeller with this pump. The M57 came highly recommended. The previous Zoeller failed after 1.5 yrs flooding my basement. It was a low-end Zoeller,M72, however i still expected better. I'm hoping for better from the M57. I upgraded to the M57 for added protection, and because of recent failures. Recently cleaned out the pit and had lots of dirt, grit and sand, etc. in it hence the effluent M57 pump w/ all cast iron construction. However, recently opened the pit and was surprised at the amount of rust around the base of the pump and at the seams in only 1-2 weeks. Had been getting some regen. water from water softener into this pit. I stopped this flow. We'll see if the rust continues. I will rate performance further down the road.

#19 Basement Watchdog BW1050 1/2 HP
Quiet, Compact and Powerful, February 15, 2009 By Captain Janeway I purchased this pump as a replacement for my standard noisy sump pump with an exposed float. I kept having problems with float hang-up and shaft seizure on three different "dry motor pumps". Installation was a breeze. The pump is compact and quiet. It is removable by unplugging the AC cord and loosening one plastic pipe union about six feet up from the pump discharge outlet. Since I have a dry bottom sump, I do this periodically (at least once per year) to replace the top 2 inches of sand with coarse blasting sand. This keeps the pit clean and dry. I keep the pump inlet about 4 inches from the bottom to avoid handling debris. That bottom drainage removes the remaining water so there is no standing water in the sump pit. The only additional thing that I had to do was to use a Ty-Rap® to hold the control box to the wall receptacle. Just loosen the wall plate and tighten it again about halfway on a Ty-Rap®, then engage the Ty-Rap® and tighten it after the control box is plugged in. It is a bit too easy to accidentally bump this and have it fall out for my liking.
This is the best pump that I have found for this purpose so far. None of my other pumps have lasted the three years that this one is warranted for. There are no customer reviews.
