So Far, So Good
By Jonathan B. 
BRADFORD, Pennsylvania
Purchased 11/02/2017 | 
Review Posted 11/06/2017 
Just installed pump a few days ago, replacing an older Wayne 1/3hp model. Both primary and secondary pumps are VERY quiet. Quick and easy to install. Only complaint is that one of the pre-plumbed pvc fittings was not glued properly causing small pinhole sized leak. Sump pumps direct was easy to order from and shipping was fast. Had my new unit in 2 days.

Better Than The Others
By Anish C. 
Mount Prospect, Illinois
Purchased 08/14/2016 | 
Review Posted 09/26/2016 
This pump is better than others. It's easy to setup. The backup pump is setup nicely. It does not hang or look like it is going to fall apart. I would buy again.

Replaced An Old Pump
By Michael F. 
Neshanic Station, New Jersey
Purchased 03/21/2016 | 
Review Posted 05/24/2016 
Sump pump arrived well packed and in perfect condition. Replacing the old pump was straightforward. Cut a new piece of pvc pipe to fit the old outflow pipe and set in sump hole. Followed instructions to enter phone numbers and connected phone line for notifications. Pump is very quiet and works smoothly.

Don't Drain Your Hot Water Heater Into This Pit
By James F. 
Brownsburg, Indiana
Purchased 07/15/2015 | 
Review Posted 01/31/2016 
This system was easy to install and worked well. My hot water heater is adjacent to the sump pit so once a year when I drain my hot water heater I simply drain it into the pit and the pump works fine. However, I did this about 4 months after I installed this system and luckily I tested it toward the end of the process and realized that the backup wasn't working.

Even though the temp was at the low end of "hot" it was hot enough to melt the backup seals and the pump was dead. The primary one is fine and Wayne actually replaced the backup free of charge. It took me a few weeks to get around to replacing the pump and strangely, the monitoring system did not know that the pump was broken.

Expert Response
Always a good ideal to familiarize yourself with the specs of the pump/systems found in the owner's manual. Hot water is never good for pumps, unless the pump is designed to for it. Hopefully everything is working correctly now.

Piece Of Mind
By John C. 
Newton Falls, Ohio
Purchased 12/28/2015 | 
Review Posted 01/18/2016 
Wanted a single unit with back up pump and battery. Easy installation with preexisting pump. Bought back up battery at NAPA. Got a deep cycle marine battery. Unit works and is running it's periodic testing after setting up unit. The main reason for purchase was piece of mind for when we're away - power or pump failure we should be protected from catastrophic damage. Do not have home phone, only cellular - would be nice if unit operated off WiFi.

WSSM40V Review
By Jonathan P. 
Royal Oak, Michigan
Purchased 10/27/2015 | 
Review Posted 12/08/2015 
So far the Wayne system with backup has worked great. It is a good piece of mind especially with the self test every 2 weeks. I have had power go out a few times and the system provides alarm and more importantly the backup turns on without issue. Great product so far (approx 2 month use) easy installation maybe 15minutes plug and play right out of the box. Great service thru Sump Pumps Direct on this. I'll follow up in year or so to confirm still doing fine or any issues. Thanks

Great combo
By Giovanni P. 
Wixom, Michigan
Purchased 05/05/2015 | 
Review Posted 05/13/2015 
I bought one last week from Sump Pumps Direct and am very happy with it.

Now every time we have these big storms I am not worried anymore.

Installation is a bit challenging for the telephone hook up but only took me total of 2.5 hours to install.

Easy Install/Setup
By Burton C. 
Middletown, Delaware
Purchased 02/10/2015 |

review 10 image 1
This is a nice system. It was delivered within two days and Jim was helpful and answered all my questions. I did have a problem with the controller not dialing out but once a replacement controller was sent out by Wayne, everything works great.

Took me about 2-3/4 hours to install along with The Original Radon - Sump Dome™ and running a phone jack. All in all, I'm very happy and it is neat that it calls you with status updates, although I would rather get a text, voicemail is okay. The price dropped since I purchased mine so it is even a better deal now.
