  • 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.
  • Additional Features - The multi-ring suction strainer filters out debris to minimize clogging and keep pump from tipping over. This pump has a 25-foot power cord plus a 25-foot pull-to-shore rope to help position the pump on the pool cover. Check-valve with 3/4" garden hose adapter included to reduce repetitive cycling.

  • seems to be working
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
I have just had this for a week but definitely seems to doing what it advertised. My big complaint was how they shipped it. No box. Corner of the box was damaged, thankfully the pump was not damaged. This is the 4th item in a month that amazon has shipped with no box. Is this how they are shipping stuff now? Just leaving it on the porch. I buy 3 items a week from them but will stop if this how companies they deal with keep shipping items. Also when you go to return it UPS gives you a hard time without having a box ... show more

  • Mad at first, then Wayne made it right. Happy as a clam now!
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
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

  • Excellent, except for two (surmountable) things
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
Does a great job. Works as advertised. High volume pump. Turns off when there’s no water to pump. Great for tarp pool covers. My extra large tarp needed two because the folds in the tarp. Otherwise one would have been sufficient. HOWEVER. 1. The tab to hold the blue base breaks easily, requiring that you tie it to the pump. 2. And this is important . Inside there is a tiny weep hole. If it becomes clogged, you have to unscrew the bottom to unclog it. The biggest problem is finding it. It’s tiny. There are instructions, but the instructions give you no clue to how tiny this hole is or where exactly it’s located. You need a paper clip-thick piece of metal to clear it. If not cleared, the pump just turns on and off, on and off on and…. I still recommend this pump. Once you’ve had to deal with these two design issues, you’ll have no further problems. ... show more

  • Very robust

Is a great workhorse that goes forever. Only issue is in high debris environments every once in a while you have to clean it out or it won’t get suction

  • 7 Years and running!
Style: Pool Cover Pump with iSwitch
My first version of this pool pump just went bad (sort of, more later)....I thought maybe it would be under warranty, but when I looked, I bought this in Feb 2016 and it is now April 2023. I frankly took ZERO care of this pump. I never really cleared the debris, it sat on the cover all year long, through harsh Indiana winters, so 7 years is MORE than I could ever expect with that type of care. The fact is, it is still going...sort of. A local landscape company cut the cord once. They patched it (poorly), so I repatched it as it kept tripping the GFI outlet. That was about two years ago. It just started tripping again, but it was not the cord. I pulled the top cord plate and it seems like there "might" have been water in there...enough to trip the GFI. I dried that out, threw it back on, and it is running again. I just ordered another one as a back up. Once the cover is dry and the new one comes in, I will likely reseal the top cord entry and use it for a hot tub. MOST if not all cover pumps have a handle on top...but you can't reach it in the center of the pool. So you end up pulling it by the cord or the hose. The nice thing about this pump is that the cord has strain relief attached to the handle, so you are not pulling on the cord entry. PS. The plate and screws on the cover are stainless, and after 7 years there is no rust or corrosion. With the extra money vs. other submersible pumps Either way, this deserves 5 stars for 7 years of thankless service....and with a little silicone, it might just keep going forever. ... show more
