"They seem to last 3-6 yrs depending on the conditions used - mine activate on average every 2-3 minutes, sometimes as frequently as every 20 sec during a heavy storm. 2) RUBBER FLOAT LEVER BOOT: The rubber boot/seal where the float lever enters the pump cap assembly will harden over time, providing just enough resistance for the lever not to activate the pump switch (very frustrating to find the pump submerged underwater, then the slightest movement triggers the motor) - keeping this lubricated with a bit of silicone grease will help prevent or solve this problem. These will get clogged over time and can cause an unlikely 'airlock' situation where the impeller with turn freely within a pocket of air and not push any fluids."
"While I always bypass the float switch in favor of an external electronic switch, the pumps have worked flawlessly."
"It sounds just like my garage door moving but lasts much longer because it is pumping."
"These seem to work for 5 years."
"This is just a quality pump."
"I was a bit confused about the weep hole, and when and where it is necessary as well as whether the one way Zoeller backflow preventcal valve and would urge them to include some idiot directions for people like me."
"This pump has only been installed for about a month, but so far it works well and is very quiet."

"There is no question that this is a great pump! I notice that the pump blow water thru the pipping systems so hard that some of the water get push back up to the other pipping connections. I happen to need to replace another pump (also 1/3 HP) in the back of the house."

We are in the middle of the East coast frigid weather and this unit is keeping our pond open and our fish alive (albeit the hole is a little smaller, but a large hole isn't needed)."

"I really liked this product."
"Worked all winter and kept my pond from freezing solid in Wisconsin cold winters."

"The air stones float and need to be anchored down, not a huge deal but was a disappointment. It lasted one year before it stopped pumping air."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Had to replace a 22-year old completely dead [Barnes] pump, servicing only one basement bathroom; check valve probably not working for last 10-years. I am satisfied with this product and expect it to last a long time, as a solid iron pump should (when used correctly - stick to waste only and stay away from anything that could block the impeller or get stuck in the check valve)."
"The four year old Barnes (Crane) SE-411 sewer pump was pulling over 20 amps on startup, tripping a 20 amp GFIC, which was an indication that the bearings were probably worn allowing so much play that the rotor was rubbing on the stator, making lots of noise the past 4 months. I removed the small clamp and screw from the float switch cord and tossed it. This pump runs quieter than a new Barnes, and there is no difference in the waterfall flow that I can detect."
"It seems to pump a little slower than the Stevens pump in there before but it does not really matter how fast it is. I know it pumps slower because the old pump shook the pipes and you heard more water sounds than this one, but it does not pump that much more than before so likely minimal difference. If you are installing one of these pumps I would suggest you also make it easy to service in the future."
"I opened the replacement only to find the cord sheared in two, which had to occur during manufacturing since it was brand new in box."
"I went up to local big box store, bought a cheap one to "get-by" until I decided what to do with the Wayne pump (replace again or ask for money back). Still, two cheap pumps cost less and work better than the Wayne Pump."

"The guy who installed our sump pump did not order this, but I di."
"Haven't installed it just yet but seems easy enough and is exactly what I expected."
"The plastic is very durable and very nicely made one thing I did not like is when you go to screw the cover on you need to be very careful not to push the screws in too hard else the plastic tabs from the bottom will fall off into your sump and you will need to pull the cover off and either find the one that fell off or use one of the extras they give you."
