THE GOOD: Great, heavy cast-iron, well balanced sump pump. Quiet as a church mouse. Assembled in the USA. Removes water quickly. THE BAD: Requires check valve which is not included. If a problem arises, and it's due to not installing the (optional) check valve, the damage will NOT be covered!!! THE UGLY: Instructions were vague in the MOST IMPORTANT AREA. Total lack of information as to how to secure the VERTICLE FLOAT SWITCH so that the vertical float does not become a HORIZONAL FLOAT and not only, not, turn the pump on but, also, become a floating horizontal nothing. WHY ON EARTH DO THEY NOT SHOW ANYTHING REGARDING THE SECURING OF THIS FLOAT THAT TURNS THE PUMP ON & OFF???? SIX WASTED HOURS OF TIME UNTIL I FIGURED IT OUT MYSELF!!!! I heard the WAYNE brand is the BEST. Just fix the manual that comes with the darned pump PLEASE. Folks, the vertical float has to be secured by attaching the rubber tag/flag hanging from the float to the plastic "hook" located on the pump directly to the bottom front of the pump. I am not a "technical" writer. I'm just trying to save some people some blood, sweat and tears. Read full review

I bought this as a back up, but decided to use it along with the other pump already in the sump hole. I did have a bit of a problem as the switch just came apart as I tested it. It was a pretty easy fix, but that was unexpected. It is operational now and with Irma coming up the state.... it will be put to good use over the next few days.

This is not a high volume pump but it is very reliable. I use mine to pump water from a large pond to a waterfall on a smaller pond. It runs continuously for about 12 hours daily and each pump with this kind of use has a life span of about three years. They are not designed for this kind of work but it works very well for the price.

this was a little jewel. the old one i had was stationed right outside the bedroom window. my wife said it always woke her up when it went on. this new one is so quiet that she sleeps right through it. me ? no problem----neither one had a chance to wake me.

This pump is of good quality and can be expected to last about twice its stated warranty. The design relies on three very long external body bolts threaded on one side that attach the entire upper assembly to the pump base. Although they are chrome plated, these bolts rust to the point of breakage rendering the pump inoperable. In my case it took about 8-years. No one appears to supply replacement body bolts, and the manufacturer doesn't even show them in its parts drawings.
