Pros & Cons
Pros
Wayne pump is louder and more powerful than basement watchdog. The upgraded 12v pump is very quiet and larger (see picture). The backup still runs 20+ seconds so float placement is very important to keep pump from running dry.
My brother and neighbor are electrical engineers and they stated that level of charging could shorten battery life. Comes with a 1. M8 accessory stud on marine batteries. Was fully charged.
The wayne sump pump system fit the basin fine. The check valve included appears to be slightly heftier/more durable.
Cons
Wayne needs to address the serious design flaw of the charger.
Other reviewers have it right. When i'm in that warranty period and receive this kind of disservice, i unfortuantly have to cut ties with wayne and take my business to another brand like zoeller.

Highlights
Quality
Being a wayne pump the quality is very high
I’ve been extremely impressed with the minimum sound that both pumps make

I contacted wayne directly and they recommend only sealed batteries to be used with the charger since the charger is always in charge mode
Shipping
These pumps are quiet fast and after 3 months reliable
Packaging/appearance
First things first packaging looked really good and things were held well and no parts were damaged
Competitiveness
Very easy to install only took about 35 mins for a diyer like me to do
My advice is to buy a basin like the jackel with predrilled holes itll save time
This system shouldnt go through enough cycles to make it worthwhile anyway
Was a littlebit of a tight fit with both pumps in my pit but they fit together facing opposite directions

This may boil away all the acid in regular unsealed batteries and shorten the lifespan

One could theoretically constantly monitor the battery solution and top off as necessary but this seems like an easy thing to forget and ruin a battery

Ofcourse the battery didnt come with it

Had to do a bit of a modification on the unit to get it to install correctly but under testing it moved a lot of water

The wayne might seem expensive but believe me it is not

I never hear it running and need to check to see if it is still working when the sump needs pumping
