Wayne CDU980E Reviews & Ratings
Don't let the size fool you...this is one tough little pump. Made of stainless steel for years of reliability and powered by a 3/4 HP motor, the pump can spit out up to 4300 GPH. Great for the small basement that needs insurance against water damage.
With an industry leading 5-year warranty, this pump earns our recommendation.

Nice Little Sump Pump
By Chris P
Virginia
Purchased 12/27/2023 |
Review Posted 01/18/2024
I use this pump to remove water from the yard when it rains. This thing is a work horse. They last about 6 years or so under heavy use. They're worth every penny. The guys at Sump Pump Direct ship that day or the next working day.

Buy A Liberty Pump Instead
By Eric

Review Posted 08/28/2022
I had to service my Wayne pump every 2 years due to rust and corrosion. After my second Wayne pump died I decided to replace it with a Liberty Pump (model 257). This Liberty pump has been running maintenance free for 8 years.

Gets the job done. If it lasts for the warranty period (5 years) it will have outlasted other, pricier options. Very happy so far.

This was recommended by the experts at SUMP PUMP DIRECT and it is the perfect replacement for our 20 year old pump. Works great, easy to install and so much quieter than our last pump.

Brand New, Installed Correctly, Won't Stop Running
By Nicole G
Des Plaines, Illinois
Review Posted 12/03/2021
So, I just bought this tonight. We installed it correctly. It pumped the water fantastically. Except it won't shut off. Brand new out of the box and it doesn't shut off. I've read several people say it's something with the float. If someone could help me that'd be great and even more so I'll change the review to 5 stars.

Switch would not activate randomly starting after 5 year and 6 months. Just out side of warranty. Luckily I have a back up.

Expert Response
As with most pumps w/ built in switches, the switch part is typically what fails first. Many parts of the Midwest have mineral-rich groundwater which can decrease the lifespan of pump. You may want to consider a pump that has a piggyback-style switch that can be serviced/replaced.

Excellent Value!

Review Posted 08/01/2021
I bought two of these pumps to replace two older ones that were ten years old. After disassembling both old ones I discovered that the two starter capacitors were blown on both. This may have been because the wiring was not adequate for 3/4 horse motors. I felt that after examination that the only real difference in these pumps and the more expensive ones were actually the motor housings. These are stainless and others were cast iron. I am satisfied that these pumps will last. Unable to hear them run when I am inside the house. Just make sure you are using the correct wire!

Happy With The Pump With One Small, Design Issue.
By David M.
NAPERVILLE, Illinois
Purchased 04/07/2021 |
Review Posted 07/05/2021
Pump was easy to install and it operates just fine. Only issue is that one cannot adjust the float for when to turn on. My sump is lined with stone and there is a metal plate on top of the stone. The pump activates when the water level is just below the bottom of the drain tile. Again, that’s ok except I have a Glentronics Pro Series 2400 battery backup pump with a float switch that mounts to the discharge line. I was able to adjust the float switch to turn on when the water level is just above the bottom of the drain tile. I would have liked to have it trip when the water level was 1/2 inch below the tile but that is too close the the Wane pump’s start position. That’s the only con. I am satisfied with the pump.

Better Than The Rest
By Mark A.

Purchased 04/05/2021 |
Review Posted 04/27/2021
Since our home basically sits over an aquafer, we require stout sump pumps. My previous experiences with Wayne were positive, so we now have three of these pumps on duty. Two are set up redundantly and one acts as a below grade stationary pump primarily to move washer discharge. They are all quiet and fast. Time will tell if the upgrade costs were a good decision, but for now I am satisfied

I would like to draw water from a pond to use for lawn care. Vertical lift would be ~ 12-20' with potentially up to 100' of hose running to gardens. What would be an appropriate pump for this configuration?
thanks,

I USE 2 WAYNE PUMPS. ONE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SUMP AND ONE TOWARDS THE TOP AS i SOMETIMES GET A LOT OF WATER AND NEED THE EXTRA PUMP AND ALSO USE FOR BACKUP. I HAVE BEEN USING THE WAYNE CDU980. EVERY YEAR I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PUMP AS THE PUMP NO LONGER WORKS. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN? I NEED TO BUY 2 MORE SPARES BUT AM TIRED OF RPLACING THESE PUMPS EACH YEAR. THE BOTTOM PUMP GETS ALL RUSTY AND THEN STOPS PUMPING. ADVISE? i HAVE A FRENCH DRAIN SYSTEM.

My sump pump has been acting up and I think it is time to replace it. My basin is 11 1/2 by 11 1/2 and 22 inches deep. The pump is used for moving water from the washing machine to the sewage pipe. I was looking at the Wayne CDU 3/4 HP. Do you think this would be a good fit.
