Advice on buying 1/2HP Wayne water pump
 

Due to the heavy rains in the Northeast last week, all of the pumps
were sold out at HD, Lowes, etc. I had gotten water in my basement.
Luckily I did manage to borrow a friends submersable pump to help me
out.
While I was at ACE Hardware last night, I noticed they had gotten some
more pumps in. I saw this one from Wayne pumps for $150:

It moves 1400GPH and although it is not submersible, it does have an
inlet hose which I can attach a regular garden hose and move anywhere.
I was wondering if anyone had this pump and what they thought about it?

We've used similar Wayne pumps on the farm for years---one primary use
was a setup (before the drain field was installed) as a septic overflow
tank pump set up to a level switch would last years...the ones we had
have replaceable bearings but normally it would be impeller wear that
would finally be the end of them. I tried replacing them once but there
was sufficient casing wear as well that it wasn't nearly as effective so
I've never bother trying to repair one since. Altho w/ now having a
drain field installed, they remaining are simply for occasional use so
will probably last my lifetime or more....

In short, I have no adverse data...

I had a similar, though gas powered, pump. Priming it was an incredible
PITA. Once primed it was pretty good.
Unless you have a specific or urgent need, I would hold out for a
submersible.

I don't have a cellar, but my parents do. So, I bought a sump pump, from
www.harborfreight.com which was $40, and says it's half horse power. Another
couple bucks, and it's adapted to garden hose. With a wye, and I can
discharge through two parallel hoses to increase flow.

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.
