Wayne SEL50 WAYNE 1/2 hp Thermoplastic Sewage Pump With Piggyback Tether Float Switch

Liked well built Disliked when using in 55 galloon grey water tank float does reach high enough to make it work So i purchased a stainless steel flat piece with many holes bent it at the top at 90 degrees attached it to existing mount and moved the float down half way down side of pump..Float now comes on sooner as to pump. Worked great for smaller tanks and has plenty of adjustment holes

Went with Wayne because first unit was a Wayne. It lasted 16 years with off and one usage for basement condensation water and one sink. Only unit I could find with 3 inch discharge. Old unit had stainless steel impeller but this one does not. Longevity has yet to be seen but installed since May 2020. We shall see.

Piece of junk ! Cheap plastic impeller fell off after two years, see photos. Maid with junk by by the CCP in China, I know everything is made in China but this time I purchased a all cast iron unit from a different maker.

Great pump - easy to install, quality built, quiet. Out of the box and into the new ejector pit within an hour. The unit is heavy and solid so it won't slip or move. The type of float is better quality than other types of pumps. The threads on the ejector coupling are tight but easily threaded into. Plenty of power cord. I like how quiet the unit is when it operates.

I replaced a similar Wayne pump of the same horsepower with this pump. This pump is much lighter in weight than my first one. The first pump lasted eleven years. Since the new pump has been in operation for only about two months I cannot speak to the longevity of this one but I bought it based upon the longevity and performance of the first one. Setting the pump is the easy part, the plumbing is more difficult. I am 80 years old and managed to successfully install the pump and so far it is operating as well as my original.

Pump failed and upon attempting to trouble shoot, found the impeller had fallen apart and came off pump so pump was running, but not pumping. There is a one year warranty, but it came with no paperwork on how to return for replacement. I am Working with company now and will update this if I have good results. UPDATE: Company customer service is excellent and after jumping thru the paperwork hoops they refunded my money. Another SEL50 was purchased to replace less than 6 months ago and not the replacement has failed with the same exact issue - the impeller falls too/apart. Another has now been purchased and I am, again, working with customer service. 12/6/2022

quieter than our old one.

Pumpzilla!!!! I am so hard on these pumps and they take the abuse. winter, summer, leaves, sand, crap. Etc…Very high flow….. I’ve purchased 3 inn15 years.

Very well made
