3/4 HP Submersible Cast Iron & Stainless Steel Sump Pump with Integrated Vertical Float Switch by WAYNE CDU980E

Chris: Pump is silent in the pit! Only been in there a week but I'm happy with the performance. It's pumping 12-15 feet straight up. Definitely buy the one way valve made by Wayne that screws right in. It was recommended during checkout.

Nitram: Great quality, heavy base so very sturdy. Pump is quiet compared to the old 1/2hp one... Looks well made too. I'm very happy and wasn't hard to install but cleaned the old sump pump hole before putting it down. All in all a 1.5 hour job for me, removing old pump and replumbing this new one... Worth it...

Thomas M Goff: I moved up a notch replacing my existing sump pump by purchasing a Wayne sump pump. Of course, they are easy to install, and it has worked flawlessly for more than a year now.

roly: As always with Amazon it arrived in perfect condition, well packed and in time. This pump smels quality and is very strong and powerful. I’m very satisfied for the time being. Only time will say if it will last to be honest but I’m confident.

BRANDON M TREMBLAY: Pump was easy to change out, but only has 6-8 feet cord, so if you’re in Canada and sumps are 10 or more feet deep you’ll have to get cord replaced which probably voids the warranty.

Derek L.: We've had some mild weather so the pump has finally had to earn it's keep. Today the pump would not shut off and after unplugging it won't come back on. Disconnected the pipe and as I was pulling it out of the sump well, the switch engaged the pump for a single cycle or so when it hit the low point. That got me and everything around me a little wet. I installed this end of last summer after buying it in May. I'll be calling Wayne tomorrow so we'll see how their support is. I've been working with Sump Pumps for 20 years and have three in my house so I've changed a few. First time I bought a Wayne as I was hoping to have something that gave me some peace of mind. Pretty disappointing.
edit: I raised my rating to a three (from a one). I spoke with Customer Service and it was pretty painless. They are going to send me a new top cap (switch) as a one-time gesture. It is not covered by warranty as it is normal wear and tear (only lasted 6 months in a proper sump well that is only receiving ground water from the weepers around the house).. Looks like if you want to buy this pump you should consider investing in a separate piggy-back switch as while the pump may be good for 5 years,...

Amazon Customer: We just moved in to our newly renovated house and it had a new sump pump but a cheap one (1/4 hp and $90-$100 price range). This cheap pump would run for 1-2 minutes at a time and so loud that it would wake us up at night. So I googled best sump pump and this Wayne one came up as highest rated.

I watched a few youtube videos on how to install, and it was super easy, since all my pipes were new and the pit was already set I didn't need to replace any piping or dig the pit, I just unscrewed the old pump and screwed this one in. Then I filled up the pit with water and did a test run and it emptied in 2 seconds with only a gentle noise. I was actually blown away. I couldn't understand why anyone would endure the noise of the cheaper pump to save $100 or $150.

In terms of noise, I wanted to give a detailed review because this was our primary concern:

-the noise is comparable to a quiet/newer dishwasher when you are beside the pump. Since ours is in an enclosed utility closet the pump operation noise is not noticeable from outside the closet unless you are told what to listen for and sit quietly to wait for it. It is also so quick that the sound doesn't last...

SnowbooSnowboo: We've been using (and fixing) a Zoeller 50 series pump since we moved into this house, which is at the bottom of a hill and always has water passing through it, nearly three years ago. It finally died (luckily we had the Liberty water-powered pump as a backup because the Zoeller failed three times in three years, but it was much older than that), so in a hurry, we bought the Wayne because our Liberty pump uses a LOT of water and we're on metered water here.

It's only been six days since I installed it, but it seems to be better than the Zoeller so far. It's quieter and appears to be pumping the water further out of the house than the Zoeller, which is resulting in there being significantly less water coming into the house. We've never not heard the slow trickle in the basement- until now. The sump well is almost dried up completely and while the weather has been dry this week, previous years, we've never seen the trickle stop, no matter what the weather.

I don't know about the longevity of it, but I'll try to remember to update as it gets older.

Installation was okay, but harder than they make it seem, probably because we were replacing a Zoeller pump, which...
