Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Please read the title before reading anything about this sump pump. I gave this the highest rating because, in function, this pump, it's charging system and energy delivery to the pump, work flawlessly.
When I went to install it as a primary pump it made very loud audible warning tones as the pump and float switch were being plugged in. I was ok with that @ first, if we loose a connection, I want to be alerted. But, in the middle of the night, this sump pump started to alarm again, once every 5 minutes. I pushed the Alarm Mute button only to find out that this WILL ALARM EVERY 4 HOURS if run as a primary sump pump, even if the sump pump is operating normally - VERY BAD MARKETING and eventual DESIGN of this function of this sump pump. Even as a backup sump pump there are some areas of the country where power is routinely shutdown for more than 4 hours @ a time. This 4 hour alarm will be overwehlming for some.
I called Wayne the next morning to find out how to disable the alarm permanently. They told me - no way, can't help you, it was only designed to be a secondary backup sump pump. "You bought the wrong pump".
We used to have a Wayne ISP40, a beautiful and quiet sump pump for 3 years. I left a glowing review of this product years ago on Amazon. All in vain, for Wayne no longer supports this pump. So I saw the ESP45 pump and purchased it from AltaPower. BTW, viewing other battery powered sump pumps out there, I was not impressed. Also, if you are pumping a lot of water, a battery/inverter to a normal AC pump is terribly ineffecient. With our ISP40 we saved our basement and nearly $20/month in electric.
I didn't buy the wrong pump, I bought from the wrong mfg.
