WAYNE PC2 Portable Transfer Water Pump With Suction Hose And Attachment, Black (Pack of 2)

I bought a Wayne PC2 110V portable transfer pump in 2010 from Amazon for $72 and change. It was delivered as shown in the photo that's still on the Amazon site today, specifically it's a chrome plated CAST BRONZE pump. It also came with a 5000psi rated heavy duty 6' suction hose with heavy brass end fittings, and the base plate of that pump has four rubber through-bolt isolation grommets that, when the base is bolted or screwed to anything, actually isolates vibration. Super small and handy for transferring water from 30 gallon barrels in my truck bed to the storage tank at our camp. It still works great, but I decided to get a second one so I could halve my water pumping time at the deer lease.I ordered the SAME model Wayne PC2 pump that still shows the SAME pix as 10 years ago, cost now $98 bucks and change.BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. The pump I received today is by comparison to the older one cheap second (or third) rate construction. The new PC2 pump is "coated aluminum", with no indication of even what the 'coating", although it appears to be 'chrome'. The suction hose provided is a 6' piece of cheap cra_ standard type thin garden hose with light duty non-magnetic end fittings that may or may not be brass, but do look like chrome plated. The base plate has 4 little rubber nubbin feet, with a hole drilled through the base plate between them on each side (total 2) so anything with this cheapo setup that's bolted or screwed to those two holes WILL get DIRECT vibration and attendant noise increase.The only thing 'improved' about the new model is it now claims to be a 390 gph pump at 5' suction using 2.3 amps, vs the 340 gph of the older one at 2 amps. The increased capacity does NOT compensate for the lower quality construction changes.I'll update in another 10 years, if the new one lasts that long!

This is a great pump, almost worth everyone having one just in case. I bought it to pump out a king size waterbed. The directions were easy, although it says to put a tablespoon of food oil in the intake and output connections (a little strange, and only a teaspoon of oil fit into the value).The waterbed took 90 minutes to empty, no issues whatsoever. I could have sped things up by using a wider hose, but I have no complaints. I ran 175 feet(!) of hose from the bedroom down the hall, thru the front door, down the driveway and out onto the street. Now that's what you call pushing water! Now I will happily put it into storage, happy to know that the next time I have water issues or my basement sump pump breaks, I have a spare pump ready to go. Simply put the intake hose into the water, put the out take hose onto the spigot, plug it in and it's that easy.

Solid metal: you can tell by the heft as soon as you pick it up. Replacement parts included. 6 ft. intake hose ends in male garden-hose threaded connection. Pump has male 3/4 threaded connectors for intake and outflow. Whirs quietly--someone said like a small cordless drill on low, which is right. I connect it to my rainbarrels, put a 50' hose with sprayer nozzle on the end, and walk around the yard to water plants. The pressure is about like I'd use from the regular hose bib--strong, but not too much. Since there's no switch, I use a remote-controlled RF outlet. As long as the remote in my hand is in range, the pump starts up and stops instantly. Perfect.

Of course, right after the return window closed this pump stopped working completely. It was used no more than 20-30 minutes about 4-5 days per week (days without rain) for 5 weeks to water new plantings along our lake shoreline. We have a mesh cover over the intake hose so no debris entered the motor, and followed all manufacturer instructions to properly prep and use the pump. It overheated twice and cut out; after an hour or more to cool down, it did start again until today. We examined it fully and the brushes are fine and all parts are in good shape - but it is dead. Hugely disappointing and it's evident from other reviewers that there is a high failure rate on this pump.

Bought this two months ago- used it maybe four times before it died. Amazon only allows a one month window to return it, so now I'm stuck with it unless I want to pay to ship it back to Wayne. I'll update this review after I return the pump to Wayne, to reflect their customer service. Spend a little more and buy something that will last more than two months. I'd like to give Amazon one star as well, for such a ridiculously short return window. Hopefully Wayne will stand behind their product; we shall see.

It does and works exactly as described. It is more powerful than expected.I forgot to open the Vent valve and see what it did to my rain barrel.It sucked the crap out of it.

I bought this to drain my pool cover when it has too much rainwater on it.PROS:1. It is easy to use for almost any needs to transfer smaller quantities of water.2. Depending on the need, it could be VERY effective (e.g. draining a fish tank)3. I love the filter it comes with to put on the end of the hose. It is great to use on the pool cover, and keep debris from being sucked onto the pump.4. It makes some noise, but in the outdoors, it doesn't seem to be bothersome (I don't know about inside).5. If you have patience, it is a good price for a pump to remove water from a pool cover.CONS:1. I like to have a power switch on anything that is used around water. It needs a switch of some kind. Since there is no power switch I am afraid to leave it alone when it is doing it's job.2. Since there is no power switch I am afraid to leave it alone when it is doing it's job.3. It needs some kind of fuse, just in case it gets wet and shorts.4. The cord is a bit short for my needs, but I have been able to work with it.SUMMARY:I would like to find a pump that moves more water and meets the needs noted above.

Read the instructions! Of course I attached the inlet hose, dumped it in water and plugged it in expecting self prime. And it made a lot of noise and nothing interesting happened. So then I read the instructions and you do indeed have to prime the pump with a very small amount of vegetable oil. Then it works like a charm. Good that there is a spare impeller and seals. Recommended.

The pump arrived even quicker than I hoped. I have used it to empty my 150 gallon water tank on my boat (actually 4 times in one day) as I was sterilizing the water system. For some reason I had a problem getting my hose to attach to the pump's output. However, the short hose supplied with the pump attached with no problem. It didn't quite match the rated output, but did empty the tank in about 40 minutes. The pump had to pump the water up about 3-4 feet vertically. It did meet my needs and it did not overheat, running for 40 minutes then resting for about 1 hour, doing this 4 times in one day.

Had to prime the pump several times. Already ate up one impeller. Very disappointed. I am in the middle of moving and as luck would have it I have lost the paperwork! So out the money as I can't return it. Nobodies fault but mine on the paperwork but back to the pump I was not happy at all. With being on the spare impeller (included) I believe the pump has only minutes of usable life left in it. Found replacement impellers but expensive. I will have to write this off as a poor choice.

la calidad salta a la vista, hay varios usos que le puedes darno es una bomba de uso rudo pero si soluciona esas emergencias de agua. ojo muy facil de operar

This little pump works like a charm, for small jobs anyways. Performed as I had expected, saved me lots of time and energy. Arrived ahead of schedule, which is always nice. Also a well made pump, only other thing I wish it had a on-off switch. I recommend this product and seller.
