Wayne WLS150 - 58 GPM 1-1/2 HP Cast Iron Lawn Sprinkler Pump

I have had the pump for about a month, and it works great. Installation was simple and changing from the 230v to 115 was an easy process. I installed it in less than an hour. The only negative that I saw was that the cavity for the electrical wiring was small and offset which made feeding the wires a little cumbersome, and the wiring posts didn't include the nuts to secure the wiring. About 50% of my installation time was spent on finding the correct size nuts. But all in all I would recommend this pump to anyone needing its capacity. Good purchase.

I have bought 5 Wayne pumps in last 2 years. Only 1 is still working 3 of them broke the impellers even though I filter the water ahead of the pump. New impellers are $88.00. The last 1 had electrical problems and 1 is still working. Do not buy wayne wls pumps.

I had a master electrician look at the wiring diagram. Even he was not sure of the proper wiring without checking the conductivity with a voltage meter.

I've owned this model pump for about 15 years I'm talking the same pump. I pump dirty irrigation water. Through a self made poultry wire filter that keeps out crawdads and debris. This pump powers 7 pulse sprinklers, and 3 open hoses at the same time at 30 - 40 psi. My lift is about 6 feet. I live in the desert of Arizona, so pump is wired for the 220 volt option. This keeps the pump running cooler and draws less amps. The only thing I've had to replace is the impeller, forgot to drain the pump before winter.

Two cons, no power switch on the pump. Fixed that by placing one on the “dog house” which covers the pump. And like I stated, I have one of the older pumps, so there is no self prime. I hear that the newer Wayne, same model pumps are self priming. I would highly recommend this pump. It’s been tried and true

Purchased a 1.5 hp pump in 12/2012 but was unable to install tell end of the month. No only was the electrical abnormally made difficult by "wire nutting" instead of hard wiring capabilities which also include a very small area in which to cram all the wires, but the pump would not operate even with the aid of a self flowing aquifer, deep well here in Florida. Perhaps I just experienced bad luck but I invested a great deal of time and was very disappointed. I am currently still looking for a reasonably priced replacement for my recently decease "Flowtec".

I had no problem installing the pump. Now my yard is getting the water it needs, the grass is getting green again. But now I gotta cut it.
