Review: Quiet, Quality Build, Powerful - We purchased this pump in February to replace a 5 year old pump that was loud and the float kept getting stuck in on the on position. We didn't realize how quiet the sump could be and lived with the noisy one way too long. In Spring, our sump pump goes off 5-6 times an hour and the old one was so loud we could hear it two floors up. The Wayne pump is so quiet that we don't hear it. It was an easy install even though we had never replaced the pump before and we easily saved over $500 by not using a plumber. It's a solid built unit and much higher quality than the old pump. If we ever have to replace it we will happily choose another Wayne. So glad we could find it on desertcart as the in store pumps at local hardware and plumbing supply stores don't measure up to this one. Review: Solid performer - This pump is pleasantly quiet—not “did it teleport away?” quiet, but more like a steady, reassuring hum that lets you know it’s working hard and not plotting against you. You can hear it doing its job, but it’s never annoying or disruptive. Think responsible adult energy, not heavy machinery chaos. Performance-wise, it’s an absolute workhorse. Once installed, it just gets down to business and moves water like it’s personally offended by moisture. Build quality is solid and confidence-inspiring, and setup was straightforward with no surprises. Overall, it’s reliable, well-made, reasonably quiet, and drama-free—exactly what you want from a pump. Five stars for doing its job well without trying to be the loudest thing in the room. ## Features - INDOOR USE ONLY - This 3/4 HP Wayne basement sump pump is perfect for keeping your basement dry during heavy water flow.

This 3/4 HP pump is for handling major water flowing into the pit. When that happens in our cellar, the pump runs until it out-runs the flow of incoming water.-- sometimes for minutes sometimes for hours. We have 4 sump installations in 4 buildings. When the water table (level of the ground water in the outside ground) is high, three of these systems pump a lot of the time and pretty constantly. We have 2 pumps in each pit so if one fails we do not get flooded. Each Pump (if more than one in the system) needs to have a check valve/ back-flow preventer so it will force the other pumps to actually pump the water up and out and not allow an operating pump to to just pump back out through the other , (not then pumping) pump. The should also be placed at different levels so they don't necessariy go on at the same time, thus reserving one as a kind of back up. Of course, if there is really a lot of incoming water -- which we had when we first bought our house, it takes both pumps to handle the in flow and avoid flooding. NOw that we use the large diameter PVC piping, it works so much better that a single pump pof this size would probably be fine. It is best to pipe the pumps with real PVC pipe and in 1 1/2" or 2" size. This will increase the flow rate by around twice as much flow as the skinny (1 1/4") highresistance black curly-sided plastic pipe they often come with. Good luck and stay dry. **Q: when you say 'top suction' does this mean the pu,p must be totally submerged?** A: The pump does NOT draw water directly from the bottom, as some have stated. If it did, it would draw in an dirt in the sump pit. The question was correctly answered already: “It (top suction) means the pump draws water from the top of the cast base vs. the underneath. Either way it is still drawing all the water from near the bottom of the sump basin. The top design just avoids sucking up dirt and sludge from the bottom of the sump basin. You can see the protected inlet screen built into the bottom black cast iron base. This is a good pump overall.” **Q: how long is the power cord?** A: Just received my Wayne CDU980E. I, too, was concerned with this question. Power cord measures about 90-inches (7.5-feet) from where it connects to the top of the sump motor (which is about 11-inches above the bottom of the pump). I can't find this marked on Wayne's literature for the CDU980E. **Q: Can this pump be hooked up to a battery backup?** A: It pulls too much current for most battery backups, a generator will run it fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quiet, Quality Build, Powerful *by M***N on 26 June 2024* We purchased this pump in February to replace a 5 year old pump that was loud and the float kept getting stuck in on the on position.
