The Wayne 1/2 HP 115-volt transfer water pump can pump water out of flooded basements, tanks, or boats. It can also increase line pressure by up to 40 pounds or be used to water lawns and gardens, and can even be used to wash cars and sidewalks. It’s made from durable cast iron steel. The included suction strainer keeps out extraneous material, and the 3/4-inch brass hose connections resist stripping while easily connecting to garden hoses. A top-threaded priming port is easily filled, and the ball bearings have lifetime lubrication. Wayne backs its pump with a one-year limited warranty.

excellent utility, a little rough around the edges Once up and running, this unit will easily pump water at a rate equal to, or exceeding, typical faucet pressure. I have pumped water up hill 25 feet to power a lawn sprinkler for hours on end with no problems. While self-priming (once you’ve added water to the pump itself), I’ve found it can be slow to self prime with long intake hose or pumping up hill. I have also found that typical garden hoses cannot cope with the suction of the intake and tend to pucker and constrict –you’ll need a truly ridged and heavy duty hose on this end. This is not a problem on the outflow hose where any normal hose will likely work just fine. Be aware that his model requires some regular maintenance every 100 hours to maintain warranty. The heavy-duty metal construction of the unit itself has proven solid and durable. I was disappointed that the supplied intake strainer attachment used a male connector but the female connector is needed to connect the hose to the pump. Supplying an adapter or strainer with a female connector seems called for.
Great product The pump is pumping as I write and while it is much louder than the sump pump under my house…it is transfering water from 4 feet under ground out to the street 100 feet away. Primes quickly once you fill the pump via a bolt hole in the top. I tried to draw the water up from my inground tank using a contractor grade hose, but the hose was getting squeezed almost shut from the pumps suction. I went to the hardware store and got 3/4″ PVC and that works great…much better flow. Great product and it would have received 5 stars, but it is a bit louder than I expected…not a problem though since I will only run it 2 hours a couple times a month in the winter.
Jeff – St. Germain, WI I bought the Wayne PC4 to replace a lake pump that had been operating for more than 30 years. When I first received it, I was skeptical because it was so much smaller and lighter than the previous pump. I had to redo the piping, but once that was done the PC4 worked just fine. I am using PCV piping on both sides. The pump is at lake level, but it must pump the water up-hill about 15 feet and horizontally about 100 feet through a standard garden hose. So far it is working great. Don’t know if it will last 30 years, but neither will I.
