Q: how big of a pump do I need for a bath room in the basement. by Art Miranda from Indiana on June 12, 2012
A: The Wayne model RPP50 would be more than sufficient or you might look at the Superior 1/2 HP Cast Iron Sewage Pump System model 93015 or the Bur-Cam 4/10 HP Heavy Duty Cast Iron Sewage Pump System model 400419T. These systems would provide everything you need with the exception of the PVC for your discharge and vent. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Do you have to use float switch or can you manually turn the pump on and off. it is a Wayne RPP50 - 1/2 HP Cast Iron Tether Float Switch Sewage Pump by Gerald Baker from Pennsylvania on May 10, 2012
A: The Wayne model RPP50 does come with a "piggyback" style tether float switch and can be operated manually if you wish. Just be sure that you do NOT run it dry. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Is it ok if this pump gets submerged in 4 feet of water by Tom Bice (Thomas C. Bice) from Wisconsin on December 20, 2011
A: No problem, however please keep in mind the the float would activate and drain most of your basin and would continue to operate in that fashion as long as the basin is filling with water. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Wayne RPP50 - 1/2 HP Cast Iron Tether Float Switch Sewage Pump. The spec sheet states it runs at 6.3 amps but I have seen other ads elsewhere that show the same Wayne pump RPP50-1/2hp at 15 hp. Which is the accurate amps/ ^.3 or 15 amps? by Gary from Louisiana on May 17, 2011
A: The 6.3 amp rating is the motor full load amps and the 15 amp rating is the minimum circuit amperage required for the pump. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: RE: MODEL RPP50 IT HAS A 2" DISCHARGE. MY TRUCK WELL HAS A 1 1/2" PIPE TRU THE CONCRETE. CAN I REDUCE THIS PUMP FROM 2 TO 1 1/2 WITHOUT MESSING IT UP? by FRED ESPOSITO from Florida on April 04, 2011
A: For sewage pumps, it is recommended that you keep the same discharge size since the pump is capable of handling 2" solids. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I 'm finishing my basement and I need a ejector pump since my main sewer pump is three feet above the basement floor. I'm putting in a sink, toilet, sink and a wet bar. What type of ejector pump would be best in my situation. by Tim from New Jersey on January 30, 2011
A: What you just described is a standard sewage/ejector pump application.
If you’re looking for a basic sewage pump, look no further than this Wayne model.
For typical sewage removal needs, this pump gets the job done
The Wayne RPP50 is constructed out of cast iron which provides excellent heat dispersion and protection from corrosion. If you want a pump to last for a long time, cast iron is the way to go.
It also features a 2” discharge which is a standard size. That means if you are replacing or upgrading your current pump, you’ll avoid any major plumping changes.
One other feature that earns this Wayne model our “Good” rating is the wide angle, tether float switch.
When using this pump in a standard 30” deep sewage basin, it provides a discharge differential of 8.5”. Without getting too technical, you’re getting maximum discharge every cycle.

Outstanding Pump, Just The Wrong Pump
This pump is fantastic! I just didn't know I needed a different pump to pump at a 40' head. So this pump would only pump up the hill at about 20' head. Other than that great product and outstanding service.

Super Powerful And Quiet!!
Installed this pump with no prior experience with replacing sewage pumps. (My remodel contractor had mistakenly installed a "sump pump" instead of a sewer pump for my basement bathroom....not a good idea.) A big difference in a sump pump and a sewage pump.
This 1 1/2 HP Wayne sewage pump looks and feels very sturdy and well made and was rated very high. It is ultra powerful and super quiet. The clear check valve from Camis lets you observe the tremendous velocity that the Wayne pump expels sewage. Working together, there is almost no sound when functioning, just a powerful yet quiet gushing sound. Absolutely ZERO noise with the valve opening and closing.
Both products highly recommended. Fast delivery from Pumps Direct.

Wayne Rpp50
We went through a kitchen remodel and had to install a pit and pump in the crawl space directly under the main area of the kitchen. We chose the Wayne pump based on the reviews from sumppumpsdirect.com. of course installation was a breeze. This pump is nearly silent. As as matter of fact, even when I was down in the crawl space next to it there is no noticeable sound. You can only hear the water moving through the pipe. My only concern is that I see the impeller it's made of plastic, not metal, so I wonder about the longevity of this pump. I would definitely recommend this pump for a similar installation. My new Wayne pump only services my kitchen sink. Upstairs in the kitchen, there is no way of knowing when the pump is in operation, that's how quiet it is. For the money, this was definitely the right choice.
As for sumppumpsdirect.com, I was completely impressed! What a great resource. Shipping was great, and I got the pump right when I needed it. I was so impressed that I looked up the company and its history. I will buy from any of their affiliated companies for the next items I need.

Ci Sewage Pump
Received the pump very quickly. It was all that it advertised to be. It has only been in service for about three weeks so I can't say that it is a good buy yet. The only drawback was the length of the power cord and float switch. The power cord was ten feet long as advertised but the float switch after the mounting to the pump was only approximately eight. Not a show stopper but not good either. on a scale of 1 to 10, I would have to give it a 9 because of the cord length issue.

Wayne Rpp50 Ejector Pump
This is a great pump! Cheaper and better than the models available at your local stores. Very quiet! I use this pump for our main full bath, we take 3 showers a day and the pump works great. The pump is less than half the size of the pump I replaced, more volume in the pit now means less times it runs.

The pump is working well, it arrived sooner that indicated which was good for me. It was easy to install using the instructions, and the cost was less than the local big box hardware/home improvement stores. win, win, win.

Diy Install
I purchased this sewage pump for my basement full bath a few months ago. It arrived at my door in just a few days. The install was super easy and it appears to be working just fine for my application. The pump is not very loud. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Quiet, Easy To Install
Installed this pump as replacement for one that had previously been in same location. Pump was very easy to install. If anything, this pump is TOO quiet. When the old one kicked in, I could hear it from the basement bathroom to be sure it was working. Not this one.
The only time I've actually been sure it was running was when I left the water running in the bathroom and went to the pump room (like a small closet). Every so often, I could hear water flowing through the pipes. That was it. Otherwise nearly silent operation.

Good Product, Service And Price
I chose Sump Pumps Direct after doing a bit of shopping around, reviewing specs., prices and rewiews of various sewage ejector pumps. This transaction has proven to be a one stop shopping experience for me. Detailed specifications, professional and customer reviews and recommendations were provide to assist me in making a compentent choice. I'm very happy with this pump. The price was unmatched even with shipping cost. Shipping was very fast. Performance so far is great and its run very quiet. I would purchase this pump again - a very good supplier.

Easy To Install/great Quality/great Price
I Ordered the Sump Pump On Wednesday, It Arrived On My Porch Via Ups On Friday- 2 Days.
I Looked Around At Local Stores; Their Prices Were 50-100 Dollars More. It Only Took 45 Minutes to Install It Completely.
the Unit Works Perfectly. Keep Up the Good Work & Prices- God Bless.

Great So Far!
I bought this pump to use as a fountain aerator. It pumps large amounts of water into the air. I am using a 5 ft. vertical pipe with a diffuser nozzle in about 4 ft. of water for my 1/2 acre fish pond.
The pump is working great so far, we'll see how well it does in the long run.

Great Pump
This little pump really surprised me, it emptied out one 250 gallon grease trap and two 500 gallon septic tanks in no time.
I recommend this pump. We took off the float switch so we could get all the way down to the bottom of the tank. This pump is very well made.

Back-up Pump
I installed my current pump 10 years ago. It sees daily use, but after 10 years it could go out tomorrow, or last another 10.
Either way I decided to purchase a back-up pump to have on hand.
Sump Pumps Direct- thanks for your excellent service!

Good Backup
I'm not much help with the pump review because I'm using this for a backup. I bought this pump when I had issues with the current pump. Somehow the current pump got plugged, and the tank filled and almost overflowed.
As we are preparing for my son's wedding and expecting a lot of company, I didn't want to take any chances, so I ordered a new one.
The other pump started working correctly, so I'll put an alarm on the tank and save this one for later.

Replacing Oe Upflush Pump W/ Wayne Cast Iron Pump
Bought an upflush system from Home Depot 3 years ago. A few months back, the pump failed to work, so I went online to find a replacement. The company that made the pump wanted $370 to replace the existing. The unit had a plastic housing, made a lot of noise, and lasted less than 3 years. I started looking elsewhere to find, Sump Pumps Direct. Noted the Wayne RPP50 to be nearly the same size as the pump I removed from the upflush package. After some tinkering to retrofit the new pump, and re-wire in the old float switch, I have a new system, which operates quieter, faster, and more effectively than the original system. This pump is a beast, and I couldn't be happier! But, best of all, the new pump was $135!
Sump Pumps Direct saved the day!!!!!! Thanks very much!

As Advertised
The pump shipped and was received quickly. This was a replacement pump, so Installation was pretty straight forward. It would have been good to able to change the location of the tether switch to the other side of the pump in order to better protect it from possible interference of waste entering the basin. It services a three quarter basement bathroom that sees occasional use. It is a little smaller than the pump it replaced, but appears to be working properly in this application. It has been in use for a month now.

Sump Pumps Direct correctly ordered, billed, and shipped this unit on time. Installation was completed a week ago and the unit is working correctly. I am pleased with Sump Pumps Direct as far as customer service goes. They were very helpful on the phone. I cannot yet rate this pump as it is currently working as advertised, but I will reserve my final judgement on this unit when I see it's performance over several years.

A Great Pump
My application for this pump was not for Sewer by for Sump work. Under my Mother's house in the crawl space, which is below grade, gathers a lot of water. My Father, before he died, dug a 4 ft. hole and put a concrete pipe in it. His sump pump lasted over eight years but when it stooped I wanted to replace it with a pump that could stand the mud and small stone that had troubled his old pump. The two inch opening on this pump along with the legs allows it to function very well.
Since that concrete pipe my Father put in was so narrow I had to adjust the tether on the on /off switch so it would not touch the sides of the pipe. Now it comes on when there is about fourteen and one half inches of water present and pumps it out very quickly. The next thing I need is a quite check value to install because the old metal one Dad put in makes too much noise.
