 Do not buy-Design flawMar 12, 2010
I bought one of these sump pumps in May 08. My other sump was about 10 years old and the float was starting to stick, so I figured I'd get the one advertised with a "lifetime" warranty. The sump worked well (although it was very load when it ran) until about 3 weeks ago. After a two-week trip to Hawaii last week, I came home to find that my basement was flooded with 1" of water! The Wayne sump pump had tripped the breaker while I was gone. I reset the breaker, but it would only run for a short time until the breaker blew again. After I had pumped most of the water out (using a different pedestal sump pump), I took a good look at what had happened. The 2 out of 3 of long bolts holding the sealed engine housing together had rusted completely through and had allowed water into the engine. Obviously, this is what kept tripping the breaker.
If you closely at the picture above you can actually see two of the long bolts I'm talking about. These bolts are very thin and are basically the only things that hold the entire engine together. Again, mine rusted through in just over a year and half. I didn't expect this pump to last a lifetime, but I would expect 10 years to be a reasonble time-frame.
Meanwhile, my basement has about $10,000 worth of damage. I'm had to cut out the bottom portions of my drywall to keep mold from forming, too. My insurance company is going to try and sue Wayne for their defective product.
Don't buy this (or any) Wayne-brand product....unless you don't care if your basement gets water in it...
 Great Sump PumpFeb 03, 2010
The pump has been in for about a month now and is working fine. It is much quiter than the previous sump pump of a similar hp rating (Giant brand). This pump takes water in from about 1-2" above the sump floor to prevent pulling rocks in. This is different from the old pump. I'll post back if something bad happens to the pump - otherwise, no new news os good news!
quiet and effectiveDec 16, 2009
I got this to replace a cdu800 that had been broken. This one is much quieter than that one. It is also much more effective, meaning that it goes off less and gets rid of the water faster than the old one. I would definitely recommend to one to other people. I should add that I live in a flood zone at about 4ft above sea level, and it works like a dream.
Great pumpJun 12, 2009
Physically the same size as the 1/3 horse pump I replaced, this pump is quieter. Given the horsepower rating, it seems to pump the water at a faster rate while being quieter. Though the lifetime warranty allows only one replacement, it's in essence getting two pumps for the price of one. I would highly recommend this pump as Wayne Pumps has been a standard in their industry for quite some time.

Still working after six years.May 17, 2009
I installed this pump before the Florida hurricane season in June, 2003. It was very fortunate I did. It was installed in my backyard swale (low land) which is there to drain other neighborhood houses as well as mine. During hurricanes or other frequent heavy rains, the backyard fills up, threatening our house. This pump is always covered with saltwater, even in the dry season, and is housed in an underground sump tank. It often pulls in sand and grass when running. It will run from several days to a week during a hurricane. I did have to replace the float after 5 years which became saturated to the point where the pump would not turn on, but never the switch. Except for that replacement, it has never failed to operate 100%. I do expect it to go out due to its harsh environment. I did order a new pump as a spare. I went with the same brand and ordered another stainless Wayne pump.
