Features

  • Pool Cover Maintenance - The WAYNE 1/4 HP Reinforced Thermoplastic Pool Cover Pump is a great addition to your pool maintenance. WAYNE model WAPC250 has iSwitch technology, which activates the pump once the water level is at, or above 2 1/8. Auto Off deactivates the pump when water is at or below 3/4"
  • Automatic Pumping - Water level must be at least 2-1/8 for the pump to turn on, prime, and operate. Water levels less than 2-1/8 wont activate the iSwitch to start the pump, so manual activation will be needed
  • Efficient Design - Energy efficient, high flow, oil-free pump. Easy on/off allows you to plug in and leave the pump unattended for worry-free water removal all winter long. Automatic freeze protection within the iSwitch technology helps prevent pump damage
  • Additional Features - The strainer base filters out debris to minimize clogging and keeps the pump from tipping over. 25-foot power cord and 25-foot "pull-to-shore" rope included to help position the pump on the pool cover. Includes a 3/4" garden hose adapter and check valve to reduce repetitive cycling
  • Quality You Deserve - Proudly assembled in the USA for quality you can trust. Warrantied for 3 years for dependable, efficient, performance. This Auto Off pump will NOT run dry
  • Auto On activates when water at, or above 2 1/8 in. has been detected. Auto Off activates when water at, or below 3/4 in. has been detected.

Description

The WAPC250 is an automatic on/off water removal pool cover pump. Max. Flow rate is 3000 gallons per hour using 1-1/4" drain hose. Includes: check-valve with 3/4" garden hose adapter to reduce repetitive cycling, 25 foot power cord (always plug into a gfci outlet), 25 foot "pull to shore" rope included to help position the pump on the pool cover. When temperatures drop below freezing remove pump from service and store indoors to protect pump from damage due to ice. The pump has a unique protection circuit to protect the motor from a locked impeller condition possibly caused by debris buildup or from a frozen impeller situation caused by ice formation. When the pump is activated and a locked impeller condition is detected the unit will automatically shutdown to protect the motor from overheating. The pump will continue this on or off cycle for a period of time to attempt to free the impeller until eventually the unit will remain off for a period of 12 hours checking twice a day for a freed impeller. Once the pump is able to operate correctly the pump will resume normal operation. To reset this delay without waiting 12 hours momentarily unplug the pump From the Manufacturer 1/4 HP Auto On/Off Pool Cover Water Removal Pump.

    • Mad at first, then Wayne made it right. Happy as a clam now!
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
Review Image by Greg Rodriguez Greg Rodriguez
Edit - 3/4/2019: Three years in to life with this pump and I'm still very happy with it. I still have it configured with a 1-1/4" sump pump discharge line instead of a garden hose. I've had to take it apart and clean out the weep hole only a few times that I can recall, and I tend to get lots of dirt and tree debris on the cover. After three years of life with this pump, I'm glad to change my review from four stars to five. It's a solid product from a good company. I originally posted a one-star review for this item. I’m changing that to four stars not only because the manufacturer took great care of me, but because this pump is great at moving a lot of water very quickly if you set it up right. This is a lengthy review, but hopefully worth the trouble of reading if you are like me and appreciate hearing the details. The pump is available in two versions, WAPC250 and WAPC250G, with the difference being power cord. The former has a standard three-prong plug and the latter has a large, integrated GFCI plug. Even though I ordered the plain-plug model, what I received was the GFCI protected version along with a note that the manufacturer had “upgraded” my pump with the GFCI version. The power supply to my yard and pool is compliant with current NEC codes. That is, the entire circuit is protected against ground fault (a GFCI circuit breaker in the main panel in my house), and all my outdoor electrical outlets are installed with while-in-use covers (the big, boxy covers which provide weatherproofing even while something is plugged in). My original one-star review was based on the fact that the GFCI plug on the pump I received is enormous. Not only was it simply too big to fit inside my in-use outlet covers (see photo accompanying my review), it was incompatible with any other in-use box design I found on the shelf at three different home centers. I was really mad when I called Wayne Company’s customer service line. But to their credit, they took great care of me. My goal was to be told that I could simply cut the GFCI unit off the cord and replace it with a regular plug without voiding my (three year!) warranty. Instead, they sent me another pump with the appropriate plug at their expense. The representative seemed genuinely surprised when I told her the GFCI plug wouldn’t fit inside any cover I could find at the store. The lesson for a prospective purchaser: If you have the old-style outlet covers (a flap-style which is only weatherproof when nothing is plugged in), will be able to plug in either model. If you have GFCI protection elsewhere in the circuit you’re using to power the pump, either another GFCI outlet upstream or a GFCI breaker in the house, then the GFCI plug on the pump is redundant and you can get away with the standard plug. Lastly on a personal note: If you still have the old style weatherproof covers around your pool you really should upgrade them to NEC compliant in-use covers. The old style flaps provide no weather protection at all while things are plugged in to them; we all know the problems which can arise when you incorrectly mix water and electricity. As for the pump’s performance, I am very impressed. I noted reviews here critical of the weep-hole maintenance, but this necessity is clearly called out in the owner’s manual for my pump (a simple procedure). Also, the garden-hose connection port is really a check-valve, which means it has a clearly marked top and bottom. The check valve must be installed by the purchaser, and it’s very important to have the top oriented correctly. I believe failure to accomplish this will lead to many of the pumping problems described in other reviews. Finally, this pump appears to be a sump pump sitting on a modified base. It’s true the water needs to get a couple inches deep before it kicks on, but it doesn’t seem to leave any more water on the cover after a cycle than the Rule pumps I’ve begrudgingly used for years. Finally, there is another review here which includes a video of the pump in action. I copied their idea of replacing the included check valve (1-1/4” NPT to garden hose adapter) with a check valve which allows connection of a sump pump discharge line (1-1/4” NPT to 1-1/4” hose barb). The replacement check valve and 24’ discharge line were readily available on the shelf of my local home center (near the sump pumps), and the total cost was around $11. Make sure you buy a check valve and not a simple adapter! This simple upgrade has big benefits. First, it allows the pump to move a LOT of water VERY quickly, and it takes much less work to do it. This translates to longer pump life and probably lower power consumption overall. I am very pleased with the performance! The only outstanding question in my mind is longevity. If it really does last three years without significant issue then my review will likely become five stars. A great product supplied by a solid company. ... show more

    • A great pump as long as you understand this one important thing!
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
I have had several automatic pumps for my pool cover none of which worked worth a darn. I bought this one due to it having the highest overall ratings. I received it and installed it just before we had several days of torrential rains. I was so pleased to find the pump consistently pumped the collected water off my cover without me having to do anything except check to be sure it was correctly working. It worked well for several rainy days, then we had a dry spell before another period of rainy weather. During this rain period the pump would activate and run, but not pump anything. It would cycle on and off and eventually stop and sit in a deepening pool of water on my cover. I watched some videos people had posted to You Tube and they said to make sure the check valve was positioned correctly. Mine was off a little, so I fixed that. Many of the other postings talked about making sure the weep valve was not clogged. A couple of the You Tube postings showed how to access and clear debris from the weep valve. It's a fairly simple process (though no fun in a cold wet environment). I took my pump apart and found my weep valve to be clogged tightly with little pine needles. I cleaned it, put it back in a now 10" deep pool of water and plugged it in. Immediately, it started pumping like a champ and some time later it had cleared all the water down to less than half an inch where it stopped and waited for more rain. What is important to know about this pump is it does require observation and if it is not pumping properly, the weep valve probably requires cleaning. I think this is a problem with almost all pumps, so I have found it to be a necessary maintenance task, but not a difficult or time consuming one. On the plus side, this pump is almost silent, pumps a large quantity of water quickly, the automatic water level sensing works well and the automatic shutoff in freezing weather is a good idea to protect the pump. The base prevents the pump from tipping over and is easily removed when you need to. There is a long cord that allows you to plug the pump in at some distance from the water. Overall this is a great pump and well worth the money. You just have to be cognizant that if you use it on a pool cover that collects leaves and other small debris, you are going to have to clean the weep hole periodically for it to work properly. Some people described wrapping the pump in fine netting to prevent this problem, but I am not sure how well that would work. Now that I have figured out how to keep this pump running at peak efficiency, I agree that it is the best of the 5 pumps I have tried. I can't hold the need for routine maintenance against it, so I gave it 5 stars. ... show more
