Pros & Cons
Pros
Used a new coupler and installed the wss30vn and a new check valve in about 30min. Took about an hour to install with some minor piping modifications. Self-install was accomplished in a few hours including redoing the plumbing.
Wayne wss30vn was ranked among the highest out of all reviews. Works flawlessly. Cheap insurance, quality equipment, pease of mind. Love this combined system.
The jackel sump pump basin and lid are black in color. The only reason it is so wide is the manufacturer bracket. It is big! Battery fit perfectly into the battery case.
Both the main pump and 12v backup are quiet yet powerful. The battery backup pump is actually slightly louder than the primary pump. I feel better with those because you can see the flapper clear as a bell and know that it's working properly.
This pump is a great option instead of the traditional primary and backup pumps installed separately. Make sure you have the float on the backup pump set much higher than the primary pump. The replacement pump is an upgraded design so i expect it to l... Read More
Cons
The charger is not included under the 5 year warranty. I will take my business to another brand like zoeller.
Sump pit full of hot oily water and the back-up alarm going off intermittently. Clearly sub-par sump motors.
It tries to spin but only moves a fraction of a revolution when energized. Going to try putting a battery tender on the battery.

Price
At 860 1000hr for aftertax labor it was wellworth my time and surprisingly very easy to do
Given the relative inexpensive nature of a good battery chargermaintainer this seems like a no brainer
Altogether i spent about 820850 which is much less than the 1800 i was priced for a 12 13 hp kit by a local plumber
Total cost for all the parts and equipment came to about 1200
Shipping
2 weeks later my control box replacement arrived and everything is working as expected
Both quickly emptied the pit of water
I also took note of the review comments regarding the product support and i must say wayne came through got on the phone with t... Read More
As another attempt to troubleshoot i connected my computers ups up to the dc brick that powered the backup electronics
Packaging/appearance
First things first packaging looked really good and things were held well and no parts were damaged
Unboxing and installing the unit was very quick as the product came pretty much fully assembled
Even came with a back flow preventer in the box
Competitiveness
The weize battery esp25 works great and costs less than the wayne branded battery
The wayne sump pump and jackel pump basin were the best in my opinion
I purchased an agm battery from a local battery jobber for much less than anywhere else and its working two years later
I purchased the wayne 34 horse primary sump pump wayne 12volt sealed battery wayne 12volt pump

I contacted wayne directly and they recommend only sealed batteries to be used with the charger since the charger is always in charge mode

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
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There are three wires wire connections and they are error proof there is only one way for them to fit so no mistakes
