I have not yet had the chance to install my pump, so I can tell you nothing of it’s operation. What I can tell you is that Amazon shipped this thing apparently by some combination of high-speed bullet train, rocket propulsion, or flight aboard an SR-71. I was a cheapskate an chose the free shipping (7-10 days), but it arrived 2 days later nonetheless. The nearest outlet to me, where I might have purchased this pump locally, was Home Depot. Their price was roughly $1 less than Amazon, but the cost of fuel to drive to the store negated that savings. Ya gotta love Amazon!

We bought 2 of these for our granite shop. We don’t pre-filter them, so they pump out anything that goes through their strainers (1/2″ I think). They showed up fast like always & are priced better than anywhere else I went.

Last time we needed a Sump Pump, we bought a Wayne. We thought it would (should) last longer than the previous Flotec pump. Well it did not last that long, about a year longer than the Flotec. In 25 years, we have gone through 5 Sump Pumps. A Sears, Simer (no parts after 4 years!), Flotec (twice) and now the Wayne. I had bought a Wayne Cast Iron Sump Pump CDU-790 as backup and installed that when the WST-30 failed. The WST-30 acted as though it was tripping the internal thermal protector. It would stop running and then 1/2 hour later it would finally startup. For the last 2 days we have had a very heavy rain and the WST-30 was running quite a bit but it should not have overheated sitting in cool water! The impeller did not turn freely and I suspect the bearings were worn out already. In the meantime I used an Auxiliary pump to get the water level down and then installed the new pump. Our Sump does not fill up to trip the Sump Pump very often so these Sump Pumps should last a lot longer. Really disappointed with Wayne and the other manufacturers.
