Excellent Service
By Gregory F.
Wautoma, Wisconsin
Purchased 09/01/2015 |
Review Posted 09/22/2015
In June of this year I purchased a Flotec submersible pump from Sump Pumps Direct. Unfortunately it failed in less than 60 days. Sump Pumps Direct immediately shipped me a Wayne PTU50 and I received it the next day at their expense.
They also took back the failed Flotec and promptly issued a credit to my Pay Pal account.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sump Pumps Direct to anybody.
Thanks SPD!!!!

outstanding pump
By Thomas V.
Gibstown, New Jersey
Purchased 09/03/2014 |
Review Posted 09/25/2014
I haven't used this sump pump yet. This is a replacement for my old one. The old one is fine, but I figured it was time for a replacement.
The old one is the same model as the new one, and it took me through two hurricanes, plus numerous rain storms. When the pump starts running, it'll run for around a month, which happens at least once a year.
I've used the old one for around six years, so if the new pump is as good as the old one, I'll be very pleased. It's the best pump I've ever had. The old one's bearings are sounding kind of rough, but I would use it as a spare without any worry.

My Basement - My Sump Pump
By Terry
Illinois
Purchased 06/22/2014 |
Review Posted 07/03/2014
Without a sump pump I risk ground water leaking into my finished basement. An old house with a high water table I am at risk quite often. A dependable pump is a must and this Wayne PTU-50 pump has given excellent service. So good I now have two, one in service and a spare. I also keep a spare pump switch for JIC.

Wayne sump pump order, delivery & installation review
By Margaret
Maryland
Purchased 10/30/2012 |
Review Posted 12/23/2012
We had to rotate the base of the sump pump 90 degrees in order to align the switch, the float and the discharge opening for proper operation. Fortunately, since the replacement of the pump, we have not had any storm seepage into the sump pit.
Therefore the full operation of the system has not been verified. Thank you for the speedy delivery. The local suppliers were out of stock because of the demand caused by the the major storm known as Sandy. The shipping package came somewhat damaged. We should have ordered a check valve as an accessory to the main order.
