Lucky Lucky !!
Totally lucked out when I purchased this pump. Great price, can barely hear it when it kicks on, pumps fast. Expected to pay much more for this caliber of pump. All the specs were right there ,so there was no question it would fit. Installed a new check valve and new 1 1/2 nipple to make the connection to existing drain pipe and DONE!!

Good Quality Pump... So Far
Replaced an ace hardware 1/3 hp... it's only been less than a month, but install was easy and hope to get many years out of it. It does move water really well.

Fair Product
Installed a new pump as the original one was going on 16 yrs. Previous one had a diaphragm sensor, the new WAYNE has a float type sensor at first it was running constantly and seemed it would never shut off, but finally it did .The pit always held water, but with the WAYNE the pit is dry to within 2 inches of bottom. So far so good, I would recommend a Vacuum breaker in the discharge line as it slams when it shuts off, not a problem of the pump. I would recommend this pump to anybody looking for a replacement.

Great Pumps Since '72
I have been using Wayne sump pumps since 1972 when our home was built. The pump is used in an air-well located at the base of our steps leading out of the basement.
The drain tile around the exterior of the house feeds into the sump area and the pump, discharges the water as it accumulates and pumps it up a 10 foot incline and away from the foundation of the house .
These are great pumps.

Dependable For 25 Years
After 25 years my CDU800 was showing signs of age. The substantial casing was starting to flake and bearings were getting noisy. It has been a dependable workhorse that was always ready in the spring and fall when I needed it. I am hoping that its replacement will be as dependable because in another 25 years I won't care. I like to stay with things that already have proved themselves.

Great! But Might Go Bigger
Replaced old 1/3 Flotec with 1/2 Wayne. Really easy install. Right after install we had a Texas downpour that filled the pit so fast it went over the motor all the way up to the top of the pit.... Emptied out when rain stopped. But might go to 3/4 HP.
Can you confirm if I can still use 15amp circuit with 14 gauge wiring or do I have to switch to 20amp and 12 gauge? Seen other 3/4 HP okay with 15 amp circuit.
Bob Recommends This Wayne Product Product Expert Bob, It will vary from pump to pump, depending how efficient/type of motor. Most pump mfgs list the amp draw/suggest circuit size in the owner's manual.
Here's the Wayne CDU930E Manual. more Was this review helpful? 2 0 |

Wayne Cdu800
I needed to replace the pump I had kept tripping circuit breaker. Researched online, this pump rated one of the top line. Found it on Sump Pumps Direct.
Checked Local plumbing suppliers since I needed it ASAP. Sump Pump Direct beat all prices Plus no tax and no shipping.(A no brainer!!) I had the pump two days after I ordered it.(WOW) Matched up perfectly. Took lest than 1/2 hr. Works perfectly. What more can I say. Sump Pump Direct is the first place I will look if I need anything else.

Reviews Are Right On!
Great purchase for a great price. Easy to install with very good instructions and has been working beautifully with hardly any sound as it zips the water out in seconds. Such a difference from our old unit. My experience with it so far would lead me to recommend it without hesitation.

Best Sump Pump I've Owned
After going through three sump pumps in six years I decided to research different brands. I read the summaries on this pump and decided this would be what I was looking for.
After installing and using this pump for over a month now I can see I made the right choice.
It is built much heavier then the other name brand pumps I have used. It pushes water much quicker and is much quieter as well.
I have a partly finished basement and the sump well, is located within this area. The sound when it is pumping is hardly noticeable. It almost seems too quiet. I have checked it often to be sure it is still working because it is so quiet. The other pumps I have had could be heard upstairs near the basement stairs even though they were the submersible type as well.
I am very happy with this pump and have recommended it to others. In short very good quality pump. After going through three sump pumps in six years I decided to research different brands. I read the summaries on this pump and decided this would be what I was looking for.

Good Pump
As I indicate it does a good job, however I think it should last longer than four years. This is my third in nine years. I cannot change the type of pump because of the plumping hookup.

Cdu 800
My Wayne pump did not last 1 year. I got better service out of units from cheap box stores. Sump Pump Direct is no help. Wayne is no help. It has been almost 2 weeks and still no service.
Cons: Low Quality, Unreliable Chris Does Not Recommend This Product Product Expert Chris, Wayne provides a 3-Year Warranty on the CDU800. I would suggest contacting Wayne directly @ (800) 237-0987 more  Brand Rep Chris, Chris,
Please reach out to me directly, at tlusebrink@waynewatersystems.com. You're well within the warranty period and we can discuss replacement options.
