Gerald,
If you're looking to get longer life out of your pump, I'd suggest a Tsurumi Utility Pumps
No instructions that it will burn out the motor if you're not there to shut it off. Watch return policy. Caution!!!!!
Product Expert
Dan,
The very first line in the Owner's Manual says "This portable, submersible utility pump is
designed and intended for non-automatic use in water."
"Non-automatic" means it won't shut off by itself. If you need a pump that will monitor the water level and shut off when it's done, you need a sump pump, not a utility pump. Sump Pumps Direct
Our Return policy is listed at the bottom of every page of our web site; just click on the Customer Service button and select Returns.
The pump is covered by a 1 year Factory Warranty from the folks at Wayne, but Factory Warranties only cover defects in materials and workmanship. We're sorry, but they don't cover normal wear and tear or improper use.
Its the only word necessary to describe this neat little gadget that's HUGE on performance...

Works Great
Not the cheapest pump I ever purchased but it works great. It is so quiet I thought it wasn't working. I use it in my rain barrels and it will empty 55 gallons in no time at all, through 100 feet of half inch garden hose... I've only used it a few times so I can't speak of the reliability of the pump. I'd buy another one.
Pros:Easy To Use, Quiet, Easy To Store, I'd Buy It Again

Slow And Steady Workhorse
Had est. 90,000 gallons of water in the basement.
I used a 2" gas pump, a 3" gas pump, my injector pump (cycled off and on due to overheating), and this guy to empty it all over 8 hours. Ran off the generator no problem at all.
It ran for 8 hours straight along with the others and worked 100%. It singlehandedly took the water level from 4" down to 1/2" or less, which is when I put it in the sump pit and it ran for another 3 hours while all the drain tile emptied. It is self-priming, and pumped 10ft of head no problem. Certainly wasn't quick, but it comes with an adapter to hook it to a standard garden hose - the main reason I bought it.
My only regret is not getting one with an automatic switch, but the cost on this unit was perfect. Don't buy anything smaller if you have 10ft of head or more (typical basement + sump pit height). I anticipate using this in the future during big storms - going to drop it in the pit to help the sump pump.

Wayne Rup160 Water Pump
I have a 12'x16' oval swimming pool 5 ' high. I needed to empty my pool due to not getting it ready in time and the water turned green. This pump is the best one I have purchased in the 25 years I've owed above ground pool. I highly recommend it. J
ust plug your water hose to the pump and out the water goes. I took me about one full day since I do have a pretty big pool, but for the price I paid for this pump it was worth the wait.

Slow Pump
Pump is not producing as claimed. No where near 50 GPM, more like 5 GPH. My previous pump moved water a lot faster.

Larry,
Most likely you're getting air into the discharge line or you need to use a check valve. If you're still not getting the rated out, I'd suggest contacting Wayne directly @ (800) 237-0987.
Sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with your WAYNE RUP160. I'll echo what Larry said, it could be that there is air getting into the discharge line, however, i'd like to hear more about your situation. Please email us at cs@waynepumps.com, so we can reolve this for you.
I had to replace this utility pump as a result of my
mistake but these folks made it right in no time.
I will keep these people on my go to list.

Wayne Oil-free Submersible Thermoplastic Utility Pump
I needed a way to drain the hot tub so not to drain the water to property that was not mine. Wayne RUP160 - 50 GPM (1 1/4") Oil-Free Submersible Thermoplastic Utility Pump was the answer. I have used it several times. It is fast, quiet, and reliable. I just hook it to a regular garden hose, route it in to the bathtub, and almost all the water gets sucked out of the hot tub in a short amount of time. I would recommend this product.
Pros:Easy To Use, Quiet, Exceeded Expectations, High Quality
