💦 WAYNE CDU1000 1 HP Submersible Sump Pump - Cast Iron & Stainless Steel Construction with Integrated Vertical Float Switch - 58321-WYN2 Review

The manufacturer claims that the pump's life expectancy exceeds the warranty by two years, even though the switch has to be replaced every two years. In my experience, the switch fails every three years, although lifespan is very dependent on how often the pump is run. Also, after 5 years I found that the seal around the shifter had failed, necessitating a replacement of the pump cover/switch/cable assembly. Generally, I ran these pumps for up to nine years before replacing them. However, the…

. The pump is a quiet cord (submersible pump I had) and required me to move the outlet closer to the sump. I also don't like that the switch is built in or "hardwired" to the pump. While some may like that there is only one wire coming out of the pump, I always prefer to use a better quality switch over the standard switches that come with pumps. The stock float switch that comes with this pump is not strong enough to overcome the flow of water into my sump, so the pump was not working…

We bought this pump because our basement is below the water table and water is constantly flowing into it. Our original sump broke and there was about 3 feet of water inside. several hours. I went to work so I had to ask my girlfriend to install everything we bought. She was able to install and run it (cdu1000) in just 15 minutes out of the box. He put out the water in about 5 minutes. This pump is legal. I would say it turns on for about 60-80 seconds about every 10 minutes due to the insane…

Powerful, reliable, quiet - and you can buy parts for it! I bought this pump to replace an identical pump which although the pump still worked, after 6 years of heavy use had a broken float rod which needed repair. This will be repaired and kept ready as an emergency backup pump. I am VERY impressed with Wayne as they sent me a replacement rod for free. This model has 1 hp. may be overkill for most home sump systems, but if you have it ready, the WAYNE CDU980E 3/4 HP Cast Iron and Stainless…

UPDATED Got some water, want to postpone it, needed it yesterday? This is the pump that will do it, build an exhaust manifold for it with no limits, set it to the lowest possible head (I have a total stroke of 18 inches). So much water will squirt out that you would consider pulling out the ABS drains. and plan on 40 PVC! Not that anyone would use ABS properly, but if they did? , no. I would wash it off if it weren't for these powerful little monsters. Do they have rust around the base? Of…

Ok great pump 1hp sucks out my whole big sewer hole in 5 seconds my old 1/3hp pump. was from a big shop, 10 years worth, I have 2 of these pumps, both are over 10 years old, they work like masters, but due to the recent flooding in my area we wanted more power, got it this way. I will be buying another one for my second hole in a month if this Wayne holds up well. Here's my issue with this unit, the metal rod holding the float looks flimsy as other reviewers have noted, also Wayne's manual…
