Review on Wayne PC4 Repair Kit - Model 56671-WYN1 in Black by Chris Brazington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Fits my supply pump; Ridgid PCRP by Home Depot

I liked that the kit is available, Wayne made a pump for Home Depot. I only had two problems, but everything else is fine. 1. There must be instructions for repair, even in the case of a simple part failure. I think there was an extra washer behind the white plastic impeller in the kit, looks like it should have been added as an improvement to the original build, installed and running dry so far. Also, it's so weird that the veil colored plastic impeller itself is threaded, but I couldn't for the life of me tighten it since normal threads aren't backwards. In fact, it turned out to be spinning and hitting with a hammer. It looks like it's an interference fit rather than a thread. Everything should work but I would also suggest adding an impeller facing bearing in a future version, mine is cleaned but it's so easy to rust if the seal fails so a reason for a rebuild kit. My opinion is that there is a design flaw with the threads of the motor shaft and where they were supposed to screw into the clear impeller, mine was so crushed around this attachment point during disassembly. Otherwise good design I think.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
