Pros & Cons

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.

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

    Being a wayne pump the quality is very high


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 12 hp ac main pump moves a lot of water quickly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The powerful motor would have no problem lifting water up a long rise


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The pump is nearly whisper quiet and check valve is quiet as well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
