This review is from: Wayne CDUCAP995 3/4 Horsepower Stainless Steel and Cast Iron Switch Genius Technology Sump Pump (Tools & Home Improvement)

When a sump pump goes bellyup it usually happens when you need it most. Which means you can't wait for shipping or shop price, you head to the hardware store and pay top buck. After numerous Wayne pump float switches died (usually just after the warranty expires)I saw this one with the Switch Genius technology. At 3/4 HP it was more pump than I needed and it was the most expensive sump pump I ever bought. But I figured if the switch was more reliable than float switches the piece of mind would be worth the money.

I noticed the switch cycles the pump on early and shuts off only after sucking air for 10 - 15 seconds. After some severe storms a few weeks later I came home from work and could smell something hot. The pump wasn't turning off and was hotter than blazes! After following the manual and cleaning off the sensor it still wouldn't shut off. After unplugging the pump for half an hour or so it appeared to work normally again. Every time there's a storm I have trouble with the water sensor not shutting off the pump. Wayne says to send it back for a replacement on my dime. It weighs a ton and is going to be expensive to ship. Plus, what do I do for a pump while there's two in transit?

I had a Zoeller pump for over ten years with no problems until the switch died. I had to go with Waynes because that's what the hardware store carried and like I said, when you need a replacement you usually need it in a hurry. I've gone through 5 Wayne pumps in 6 years, this will be the last.

Bought this pump two months ago when my other Wayne (older) gave out. We have had alot of rain here in the Adirondacks (record) and the basement always floods. I run two pumps to keep the water under control. This new Wayne pump has been going nonstop for more than 60 days and it's doning the job. No problems, just set it and forget it.

The 3/4-HP Wayne sump pump replaced a 1-HP pump that was quickly dying on us. Since installing this pump, I have to say it's the most quiet, efficient sump pump I have ever installed in my home. I never hear it running, and it's so quiet that I have actually thrown water in the sump just to make sure it's working. It discharges fast and I like the Genius Technology because I've had problems in the past with floats.
