WAYNE CDU800 1/2 HP Submersible Sump Pump – Cast Iron & Stainless Steel, Vertical Float Switch, 5,100 GPH, 3-Year Warranty

This is my third Wayne 1/2 HP pump that I am using as a backup to my 12 year old pump that is still working great. My first one lasted 16 years before the bearings started to wear out. Pump runs for several days in the spring and fall. Other than that they set idle. Great dependable product.

Wayne makes the best sump pumps out there… They are definitely the most quiet

I live in Minnesota, USA - a dependable, properly functioning sump pump is critical. My aging existing sump pump failed just as the thaw hit in March 2022, which is terrible timing. This could potentially flood my basement. I did some quick research and found the Wayne CDU800 was highly regarded on the internet, so I ordered it. The price was attractive and it arrived very quickly. It was pretty easy to install - took less than an hour - with basic tools and know-how. The directions were clear and easy to understand. The pump is a simple design, functions properly, and operates almost noiselessly. It gives me real peace-of-mind to have that pump in place, doing it’s thing. I will be using Wayne products as needed moving forward.

Great pump. Operated effectively for 7 years. Retired it for a Liberty. Regret that. Stick with Wagner.

It is a bit loud, but I’m sure it has to do with the fact that my bed andbedframe are on the ground and the pump is directly below me. I had my boyfriend install it for me. He said it was extremely easy, he is very impressed with the pump. I spent the extra money hoping it would be quiet because my pump is in my basement directly under my bed. So I can hear it very well. All the other pumps I purchased were SOOOO unbelievably loud. It would wake my son up form his sleep. I couldn’t have that happening. So he said this was the quietest pump that there is out there. So I obviously dished out the extra money for it. It runs very well and efficiently. But it does still make noise. He said that it is very quiet but I am being picky and that it is going to make noise no matter what. But it is the quietest of all the pumps I used. It works very well also. I just wish it were a bit more quiet... I can hear it right through my pillow through my bed frame and my bed is on the ground because of how my bed frame is set up. It’s ground level. That doesn’t help with the noise. Hope this helps anyone’s decision about this pump. My bf knows his stuff! he’s great with that kind of stuff so if he loves it then I think anyone would love it!

I did quite a bit of research before purchasing this pump which was a replacement for the cheap sump pump used by the builder of my home 4 years ago. The pump was installed in the base of a walk out basement stairs. It connected to a 1.5" ABS pipe, then to a check valve which then converted to 2" PVC and then went under the concrete stairs up 10' and towards the street 25'. This pump is solid! The floating switch mechanism is seamless and well designed. I tested it several times by filling the bucket up for about an hour with a hose and watched the switch turn the pump on every time. The pump moved a TON of water. It emptied my 50 gallon bucket in about 20 seconds (even while pumping up hill in 2" pipe). The hardest part of the install was priming and gluing all the joints and pipes together so it was all sealed off. After about 2 hours it was installed and ready to go. Don't hesitate to buy this pump. You won't be disappointed!

Have had this for several months and seems to be working great. I live in a wet area and this runs several times daily, its also very quiet. And was super easy to install.

Bought a twenty year old house and the sump pump in the basement was old and loud, and the float switch was broken. This Wayne pump seems to be well regarded so I ordered it along with a check valve. Keep in mind I've never owned a house with a basement and never touched a sump pump in my life. I cut the PVC leading to the old pump and removed it. Screwed the check valve in, clamped the PVC to it, then joined the PVC pipes with a rubber coupler for easier removal when/if this thing dies. Took me all off ten minutes from start to finish. Turned it on and I could barely hear it running. Float switch works perfectly, sucks up the water super fast too. Very impressed with this pump and I highly recommend it. Only small gripe I have is that I believe it should come with the check valve but that was cheap enough. A+

I have used the tether float system for years , in a narrow pit . This pump offered a VERTICAL FLOAT SYTEM , protected by a Metal wire loop, which will rub FIRST on the pit wall , vs . the float . No brainer , go with the vertical , and DOUBLE BONUS , switch is tested over 500 K times , and the actual float is a replaceable part fitting ALL models of Wayne vertical switches . Must do’s : Elevate the pump with a brick , etc on pit bottom ( 1” -2” will work ) And after much collaboration, even Wayne saying No Need , drill a Weep Hole, 3” up from pump attachment on discharge pipe, below check valve . Yes , the WAYNE PUMP , prevents cavitation, in the pump itself, but not the discharge portion. A really good Pump and proudly assembled in the USA 🇺🇸.

Used this to replace old pump that was 21 years old. Easy to install good solid construction. Fairly quite appears to work very well.

I bought this pump to replace a Simer pump I installed in 1993. I felt it was time. The Wayne pump is easy to install and it worked beautifully when I tested it by filling my sump pit; very quiet. That may be the only time it gets used except for testing occasionally. I live in an area where my weeping tiles drain directly into the sewer system. If the sewer system backs up then the excess water will run into my sump pit. That situation is a rare occurrence but it can happen. The sump pump is basically standing guard in case that happens. It provides peace of mind.

Excellent so far and quiet!

Every couple of years I replace my sump pump to avoid any water issues. Decided to give this one a try and I am not disappointed. The pump is sturdy and easy to install. It concerned me at first since I couldn't hear it running. Checked on it a few times and it was functioning perfect. I will replace it with the same product at the end of the warranty in 3 years. I recommend this sump pump.
