  • Will rust soon
Choosing cast iron as a material for a product whose main purpose is pumping water is questionable at best.... Used it a couple of times and already can see signs of rust (basically need pliers to open the priming port every single time due to rust). Pump works fine as long as you prime it, but I have serious doubt about the durability. ... show more

  • Inexpensive and effective
This review is for the Chinese made Wayne PC4 water pump with garden hose fittings. This small, solid and inexpensive pump powers an impact sprinkler used to water my lawn from spa waste water, about once every three months, when I change out the water during cleaning. As a bonus, it is useful as an emergency sump pump, when powered from a small (1 KW) generator during power outages. The cast-iron pump section must be primed before use through a threaded iron plug and it will discharge some rusty water after periods of extended storage. It is driven by a 115 volt AC/DC (runs off either) electric motor that uses brushes requiring changing every 100 hours. Wayne sells an inexpensive rebuild kit, including brushes, that is readily available. I've never needed to use this kit, since my use of the pump is occasional and total use is well under 100 hours. Purchasers should be aware that this pump is NOT suitable for continuous duty, unlike water well pumps, which are AC/brush-less and can run for years with little maintenance. I've measured the performance of this pump and it is very respectable: 40 PSI static pressure, just as specified by the manufacturer. With supplied garden hose adapters attached to inlet and outlet and 7 feet of 1 inch I.D. reinforced spa/suction hose attached to the inlet side (no hose attached to the outlet) the pump delivered 1046 GPH/17.4 GPM at zero lift. When throttled by 5 feet of 3/8 inch I.D. washing machine hose on the inlet (very restrictive) and 50 feet of 1/2 inch I.D. garden hose on the outlet it still delivered 5.5 GPM/331 GPH, at zero lift. Running one impact sprinkler through the more restrictive hoses, it managed to maintain 25 PSI head pressure and drive the sprinkler pattern to about 25 feet in radius (50 ft. in diameter). These figures compare very well to my 5/8 inch garden hose connected directly to a household spigot: 75 psi static pressure and 9.1 GPM/545 GPH. Regarding emergency use, the PC4 starts and runs just fine from my tiny Honda EU1000i generator. A "Kill-a-Watt" meter tells me that the PC4 draws about 7.5 amps (vs. 8 rated) at 121.5 volts AC, or 911 VA. The meter also indicated 775 watts power consumption, which hints that the power factor of the pump motor is pretty skewed (the motor is a very inductive load)as the VA number does not equal the wattage. But this made little difference to the Honda, which did not complain at all. In summary, the Wayne PC4 is an inexpensive, very compact and sturdy utility pump that performs very well when connected to inlet/outlet hoses of adequate diameter. It's ability to run from a small generator and move over 1,000 GPH makes it useful for emergency sump pumping/dewatering. It also functions well as an auxiliary lawn irrigation pump, with enough pressure and flow to drive one (or maybe two) impact sprinklers. The PC4 is more suitable for intermittent rather than continuous duty since its motor brushes must be changed every 100 hours of use. If it did not have this significant limitation, I would have rated the PC4 at 5 stars, rather than 4. PROS: Inexpensive, compact, physically sturdy, very good pumping performance CONS: Discharges rusty water after periods of non-use, requires servicing every 100 hours of operation ... show more

  • WAYNE 1/2 HP water Transfer Pump with AquaTank2 60 Gallon tank.
Here is my Wayne 1/2 HP water transfer pump. The ball valve on the top of the pump with the square nut is where you prime the pump. You remove the square nut with your fingers and then open the ball valve allowing you to dump your water into the pump until it is full. The reason this method is better, is less air leaks when you prime your pump. I added a good handle as the one on the pump is small and the pump is heavy. This will give better balance and less chance of dropping the pump. The 2X10 board is to keep the pump directly off the ground as there are air vents on the bottom of the pump that can suck dirt and water directly into the motor if the pump is put on the ground unprotected. I installed 3/4" hose coupling adapters on the intake and the outlet flows. I bought a large 1" PVC type hose for the intake as there is so much suction power from the pump that it will collapse a normal garden hose. Outlet pressure on the hose is no problem and the water shoots out at about 40 to 59 psi.. I added a standard house switch to the pump so you don't have to leave the pump at all to unplug the unit. It is critical that this pumps are not allowed to run dry. The Aquatank2 is placed in the back of a pick up truck and you are able to transfer the 60 gallons of water in this tank (500 pounds). This new technology of water tank was made specifically for transport purposes. Their older design was only made for static water containment and could not be transported. We used 5 gallon water containers X9 loads lifted up a step ladder and emptied one-by-one into our 48 gallon RV water tank. A very exhausting process done every three days at a minimum. Kris, once you set up your trailer for long term residence, you really don't want to move it. Once the initial trailer setup is completed, you only have to worry about drinking water, and sewage. We have a 60 gallon portable "honey wagon" for the sewage. Then for water we now have the portable tank with a pump. Provincial Parks have sewage dump spots and then off to the side is a potable water tap to fill up your trailer or portable water tanks. You can use these stations and they are the best option. The other option is the taps located throughout the campgrounds. They all have spring loaded turn-on taps that you must manually hold open. You can attach a "water thief" to these type of taps, then use a very, very long water hose (200 feet plus) to your trailer. The park warden frowns on this method as your hose frequently must cross roadways and you hog the water tap - not good as I learned. So for long term campers and we will be 4 months at the park, your best option for potable water is the AquaTank2 now and the 60 gallon one will do for any trailer. ... show more

  • If Running off a water tank, put a check valve inline
I have gone through two cheap pumps from Harbor Freight so I didn't want to go that route again. I looked up "Reviews 1/2 HP water transfer pump" and I kept consistently seeing Wayne pumps as a good products and the reviews here at Amazon looked good. I didn't need a big pump, I mainly use it to transfer water between my rain harvesting tanks around the house down to my big tank by the garden, since that is where most of my irrigation needs are, and then to run the oscillating sprinkler occasionally and the drip irrigation systems. The only problem I had was when I first hooked it up it didn't make a smooth sound, sort of whirled. I checked back at the tank faucet and I could hear a gurgling sound so I thought, maybe I should get a check valve to put between the tank and the pump. My tank was almost full at the time and you would think 1320 gallons of water would exert enough pressure that you wouldn't get backflow. I went to a local hardware store, found a check valve and put it on the intake side of the pump. Problem solved. Now it ran with a smooth sound and was running the oscillating sprinkler just fine. It also works fine on the drip lines even though they have a 25 psi regulator on them. I do run it with a really long hose to the drip lines so hopefully the pressure is falling off a bit. So far so good. Seems sturdily built. You would be surprised at how heavy it is. I will be transferring water from another tank to the garden tank soon, so we will see how fast it pumps. ... show more
