💧 Efficient Water Removal: Wayne 57729-WYN1 EEAUP250 1/4 HP Automatic ON/OFF Electric Pump, Black Review

This wonderful little pump has kept my house from flooding on many a rainy day. Whenever rain is forecast I place the pump on my patio and if my patio floods the pump will automatically turn on and quickly divert the water to the outside channel. Also, I had a lot of experience with Wayne. I recently called to buy a hose fitting and the lovely lady on the phone mailed it to me free of charge. There was nothing wrong with the original hose fitting. I just wanted to have one on hand as a backup…

Other reviews like it for the same reason I do: just put it on, switch it on and go. Every rainy season, the ground floor area of my house gets flooded when contractors recklessly dig up a small patio - very small, behind the double doors. Although we have a drain there, it doesn't drain properly if it rains too fast, and we have a 2 foot wide shallow river that flows over the tile floor that always flows too fast. That season, after it first happened, I realized there had to be a better way…

I have never written reviews, but I think that this time it is necessary. In Virginia, it has been raining endlessly for the past few months, and the city's sewage system has been overloaded. Our sump pump couldn't handle it either, and could no longer pump water down the "full" sewer lines, causing backwater in the basement, our toilets, sinks, and tubs. It was terrible - sewage poured out of the toilets. I had this pump in a water barrel to pump excess rain off the roof, put it in the…

After a week: the window fills up well in heavy rain, surrounded by a patio and a lot of work to fix it properly, using a manual bilge pump every 20-30 minutes, umbrella under the roof hides arm. Then, despite some flaws, WAYNE was worth trying and worked like a champ. thanks for the pz51 review/summary of what they did, specifically the check valve and hose kit (Everbilt drain pump check valve, part # THD1021, "universal" 24ft outlet kit with adapters and hose clamp). I have them all and it's…

Last year I paid about $150 for this pump in hopes it would protect my water heater and stove that my incompetent father had installed in a flood prone area. To date we have not used this unit but were amazed by the TS Elsa which poured at least 5 inches of rain in about 4 hours. So I plugged it in and it worked, thinking it could handle any flood. There was less than 2 cm of water in the basement. When I tested it less than an hour later, it only worked intermittently (e.g. 10 seconds on, 20…

There was three inches of water in the large basement because the old pump failed in the small sump when the water heater broke and sloshed across the floor. I always hated the float switches on older pumps as they would sometimes get stuck and not work properly. Bought specifically for the solid state switch. Also bought a $6 Revain recommended backflow preventer. It was delivered same day by Lasership for free at a great Revain price. Unpacked, screwed the backflow protection to the pump, put

This pump works great BUT the electronic eye that activates the pump can become clouded with dirt or debris causing the pump to cycle on and off constantly even when the water level is too low to activate the electronic switch to activate normally. We ended up wrapping the base in heavy nylon mesh (more of a privacy window screen than a regular window screen) and securing it with zip ties to filter out dirt and mud. Because this pump draws water from the absolute bottom of the pump, it draws…

Great sump for emergency exits from a window well that was flooding my basement. This pump features an automatic on-off switch that activates when 1-1/2 inches of water is present. Here are some installation tips: 1. The dual connector mentioned in another review is now two wires connected to one connector. 2. Although the garden hose elbow adapter that comes with the pump is attractive and simple, it is recommended that a check valve be used to avoid back flow of water column into the hose…

I bought this as a backup for my little 1/6hp giant. It arrived today when it was supposed to rain so I decided to give it a try. I unplugged the Little Giant and installed a 1/4 HP Wayne pump. Wow what a difference! Wayne's movements give more water. The only thing is when the water gets low and just before it shuts off it makes what looks like a giant suckle for about 5 seconds, sort of like a baby drinking through a straw and hitting the bottom of the glass but much more pronounced. But that
