Q: Jim, I lost 1 of my 2 sump pumps. I am looking to replace/upgrade. My pumps are 1/3 Hp pedestal pumps w/ vertical float rods. Which is better / preferable pump style I see several styles on your site? I am looking for 1/2 or 2/3 HP to keep up with the water.
by Michael Roosevelt from Pennsylvania on August 28, 2011
A: The submersible pumps are generally quieter and run cooler, thereby more efficient. Pedestal pumps on the other hand will give you a little more control over the cycle times. Both will last for a good 5-7 years will proper care and maintenence. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I need to replace my old pump with a new one. It has to pump vertical 10 ft. than it has to go about another 40 to 50ft to the drain. Can you give me an ideal of what to get by John Gorman from New York on March 14, 2011
A: Typically, you'll want to replace it with the same HP rating as your original pump unless that pump had a difficult time keeping up with the incoming water, in which case you should only increase the HP by 1/4. As an example, if your original pump was rated at 1/3HP, replace it with a 1/2HP pump. Our Zoeller and StormPro pumps are our best sellers, but all the pumps we offer are of excellent quality. by Jim, Product Expert
It rained heavy all day and when I got home I noticed the a/c wasn't working!!! Flooded crawlspace! Sump pump wasn't working properly. Well the home is ten years old and so was the sump pump. So I went online and found SUMP PUMPS DIRECT!!! Got my new pump in two days!!! Water was out of my crawlspace in no time!!! I would recommend SUMP PUMPSDIRECT to anyone who needs a new sump pump. My crawlspace is dry again. Thank you SPD

Have Corrosive Water
I was shocked to pull my old Wayne pump out and see it covered with rust. After brushing the rust off, the body of the pump looked like it had been shot with a shotgun. Holes everywhere. Wanted to prevent this from happening again and ordered their similar thermoplastic pump. Unfortunately, the pump still had a cast iron base that rusted. Wish the description had been more clear.
Cons:Not All Thermoplastic

Ralph,
According to the spec sheet for this Wayne SPF50, the base is a reinforced thermoplastic.
My previous cast iron pump died during Hurricane Irene, I ran to Home Depot and all they had were some Flotec pumps. It was an emergency, so I bought the Flotec, only available with the tether float switch. I was unhappy with the tether float, it got stuck a few times and the level of the water in the sump rose uncomfortably high.
I read some other reviews and someone mentioned that the Wayne was a superior pump. I had the Flotec about a week and the screws on the top were already rusting! What's up with that? Can't they spend 5 cents more and put in some screws that don't rust? I decided to order this Wayne SPF50 pump with a vertical float. The vertical float doesn't require as much room as the tethered models.
My old cast iron pump had become a giant glob of rust. It was old but what an ugly mess. I thought that the thermoplastic would be better because it won't rust. Some others comment that the thermoplastic is not as durable (maybe that is why it only has a one year warranty and the cast iron has 3 years). I am happy so far, the pump works just fine, is very quiet and nothing I can see is rusting. It looks like a quality product, hopefully it lasts for a number of years.

Surprised
Ordered the Wayne pumps ( 2 ) for replacement in basement after reading the reviews and researching other brands . Must say I was surprised 1st with the delivery in 2 days and second with the performance of these pumps . Sump Pumps Direct deserves to be rated # 1 with pricing and delivery .
Pros:I'd Buy It Again, Quiet, Exceeded Expectations, Fast

"Arrived very quickly with no damage. Very happy with the service. Thank you."
My cellar had flooded with all of the rain that we had gotten here in New England and all of the stores up here were out of Sump Pumps when I needed one.
I had never gotten water in my cellar before so I was not ready for it.
Luckily I found Sump Pumps Direct on an Internet search and they were able to get a pump to me rather quickly.
I got only 14 inches of water in my cellar and I was able to save a lot of things that would have been ruined had it not been for this pump.

Simple Change Out
Our sump pump went out and partially flooded our basement/crawl space. Removed old pump and threaded in the discharge pipe into the Wayne SPF50 and I was back in business. I pumped out all the water in a few minutes and ran very quietly. I am very satisfied with this pump
Pros:I'd Buy It Again, Quiet, Light Weight

Flood Zone
Been getting heavy rain here in the Northeast. A lot of creeks going over their banks. Needless to say the water has to go some where. That some where was in my cellar. But thanks to the fast shipping by Sump Pumps Direct on my new Wayne 1/2 hp pump. The second time I was ready for it. The price was $30.00 cheaper and free shipping. Know where to buy if it gets worse and they start building an Ark.
Pros:Durable, Reliable, High Quality, I'd Buy It Again

New Pump
Old auto sump pump went without warning.... Wanted a better pump. Put in the Wayne, and it is good....Only one drawback, for outside, the float MUST BE CLEAR OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! Besides that, a very good, powerful pump...happy....
