Review on 🚽 Highly Efficient Wayne RPP50 Cast Iron Sewage Pump for Reliable Wastewater Disposal with Piggy Back Tether Float Switch, Black by Andy Baudoin

Had to replace the waterfall pump in my 30ft pond. A four year old Barnes (Crane) SE-411 sewage pump drew over 20 amps on start up and tripped the 20 amp GFIC indicating that the bearings were probably worn and allowing so much play that the rotor, rubbing on the stator, caused a lot of noise in the last 4 months. I have had a pond for over 15 years and have had to buy a new Barnes SE-411 about every 2-3 years. My duty cycle on the pump is 1 hour a day, 365 days a year. After searching the internet and local plumbing suppliers, the new Barnes SE-411 (.4hp, 1750rpm, 120volt, 2" outlet) was supposed to cost over $460 including shipping, so I searched for a cheaper alternative. Wayne RPP50 has a capacity of 0.5 liters. To reroute the cable for a more direct connection to my timer clock. The Wayne comes with a float switch that is not connected directly or internally to the pump body, but rather a float switch and cable with a plug for the main power cable. I removed the small clip and screw from the float cable switch and threw it away. This pump is quieter than the new Barnes and there is no difference in waterfall flow that I can tell. Updated: 07.06.17. the week. No problem. Will be updated if there are problems. Great value ($135 for Prime) versus $460 for the new Barnes SE-411. Update 7/4/19: The pump failed causing my 20 amp GFIC outlet to trip. So I've been using it for almost 2 years at 2 hours a day. Similar to other pumps regardless of the price! I will buy more today!
