Overview
Clearing basement water before it spreads is what this Wayne pump is listed for, using a three quarter horsepower motor in a cast iron and stainless steel body. A vertical float switch is built in.
The reason to look is a metal-bodied pump with a built-in float switch and a long warranty. The limit is the indoor-only note, and the listing says nothing about discharge size or solids handling.
Who it's for
Homeowners whose lowest floor collects water in rainy seasons or during snow melt. The vertical float fits a narrow pit. Those dealing with waste water or outdoor drainage should buy a different pump.
Pros and cons
- Cast iron and stainless body
- Integrated vertical float switch
- Long manufacturer warranty
- Corded electric operation
- Indoor use only
- Discharge size not listed
- Solids handling not described
Performance notes
A float switch starts the pump as water in the pit rises and stops it when the level drops. A vertical float uses less width, which suits a narrow pit. Flow rate drops as the water has to be lifted higher, so the listed number is a best-case figure.
