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.

I bought this pump for the Wayne name. I wanted something reliable and well-built and hoped that Wayne still makes nice stuff. The pump was well-packaged and smartly designed. I like the handles and its rubber feet. The float seems durable. I already had a threaded PVC line so I could pretty much screw it in and plug it in. It is quiet and powerful. I haven't had a large storm to really test it, but so far it's solid. It's a good value for the money and Wayne makes good installation videos, too.

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

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 sump pump for clean water but doesn’t do well with even small debris from the gutters. However, I don’t think it’s intended for exterior use !

Five stars. Was delivered today and I installed myself in 15 minutes. Tested to ensure it worked and presto quiet smooth and fast water moving up the pipe out of the house as advertised in the install videos.

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.

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

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.
