Q: I am looking for a pump to transfer water from a 250 gallon tank to a hose to do hand watering. I am worried about over pressuring the hose when you want to turn the nozzle off for a few minutes while you move around. by Bob Schmitt from North Carolina on June 29, 2016
A: As with any centrifugal pump like this, unless you are running off of a pressure tank and switch, you MUST insure that you are never closing off the discharge while the pump is operating, for any length of time. This can cause severe damage to the pump and possibly severe injury to anyone around the pump. by Jim, Product Expert

Don't Expect It To Last
I've had several of these pumps over the years and my first one lasted longer than any of the replacements (5yrs), since then I've purchased 2 more and neither has lasted more that 2 seasons. I store the pumps according to directions, making sure to drain every last bit of water but the seals to the drive shaft do not hold up. My latest pump, purchased spring 2015, leaked like a sieve when I hooked it up this spring. These pumps just don't last.... I do have to add that when the pump is working it works great I'm running water about 250' with about a 3' rise and get good pressure, I really wish they would last!!!

Pls100
The PLS100 pump is a replacement for a pump that was bought from Tractor Supply 6 years ago. I bought a Wayne as they always have had a good Rep. I installed all the same hose intake and discharge. But the one problem I am havingis at the electric housing is always so hot you can't put your hand on it. I have never had this problem in the past.
I called Wayne and talked to Tina and was told at that was normal. This is not normal and nothing runs that hot and I know at this pump is not going to last. I am 72 and had a lot of pumps and elect. motors over the years and I have some idea of what I am talking about. If you can help please let me know.

William,
This pump has a 1-Year Warranty, if you have any problems, Please let us know.
I purchased a PLS 100 and the first one ran for less than a year. I called Wayne and they said it was because the electrical run was too long for the gauge of wire. I ended up running a new 8 gauge line to the pump and a new pump they gave me still only lasted a year. Spend more money and get a better pump.
Pros:Price
Cons:Unreliable

Homeowner Review
Had the pump 1 year exactly and it burned up. 1 week out of warranty. The pump worked great until then. The housing did seem awfully hot all the time though.

Water My Lawn
With no rain I bought a pump. Used it for two weeks then the rain came. Put it away for next summer, but it sure helped green up my lawn.
Pros:Easy To Use, Quiet, Light Weight, I'd Buy It Again

Great Pump
Great pump, I use it to transfer water from the river to a storage tank. It worked a lot better than I expected.
I would recommend this pump to some one.

Doesn't Last
I used this pump to water our garden and the darn thing stopped working after only a couple years. Spend more money and buy a better unit. This one is very cheap.

Wayne Pls100
Just hooked up the pump and works great. Have had several of these and have always been happy, use the he*l out of them. Tickled so far, plus buying online saved me many bucks......
Would like to do business with this company in the future (chain saws, mowers etc.) but don't know the web address? Would like if possible' What I really like about this Wayne pump is that it's made in the USA!!!!!!

Rick,
All of the links for our other sites can be found on the top of any the the pages on our site.
Ordered pump to water lawn from a water collection tank. Works great, only issue was with the priming. I had to also fill the PVC intake pipe with a foot valve. Once I did that it started up without a hitch.
