Wayne 1/2 HP 115-Volt Transfer Water Pump, Cast Iron #PC4  This is a fantastic
pump. For a half horsepower pump, it sure has a fantastic volume and speed
capability.  It's equipped with convenient brass fittings to make most hookups
easier.  A terrific value, especially considering the reasonable price.  Wayne
also has a fine selection of accessories for use with this pump.  A real good
buy!
I use this pump to empty an above gound pool. I purchased a sturdy 15' hose for
the intake and have had no problems. Like another reviewer noted, I had to buy
an adapter for a few bucks to connect the filter onto the input hose end. I
connect the output to my sprinkler system and get as much or more power then
from the normal water supply. (after 30 minutes the sprinklers stopped, turned
out their filters were plugged. Since then I've tied a screen around the intake
filter to catch the small derbis and all it well). The only complain I have is
that rust comes out of the output side for a few seconds each time I use it. The
cast iron must be rusting internally. This may mean nothing or may cause a
problem in the long term. For what it's worth, I now empty the pump when I'm
finished and spray WD40 thru the input/output holes. Overall, I'm very staisfied
with this product.
Very well made.  Very powerful. Two garden hose connectors in box.  Used pump to
purge air from hot water heat zone.  It easily forced water through and
eliminated air from a 100' long zone that supplied a home's second storey.  I
used rigid 3/4" PVC for intake as pump's suction caused intake garden hose to
collapse restricting  pump's water flow.  No state tax, Free shipping, and $30
less expensive than local rural stores.  Arrived in four days.
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.
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.
Can be used to pump water from flooded basements, empty boats, drain stock tanks
or water lawns and gardens. It can be used to boost line pressure by as much as
40 lbs. for power washing cars, sidewalks and more. An extra set of motor
brushes and a suctio n strainer are included with each pump. Other features
include: Solid, one-piece aluminum pump housing is lightweight and will not
corrode, ball bearings are lubricated for life-never oiling, 3/4" brass hose
adapters connect easily to garden hose, built-i n carry handle for complete
portability & thermoplastic impeller provides long service life.
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.
