Tools and Hardware Reviews of Wayne Water Systems VIP50 1/2 HP 2,500 GPH Submersible Utility Water Pump
Customer Review: WAYNE 1/2 HP pump
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with one of your earlier product reviews for this product. The 1/2 HP pump is slow with the 3/4" hose connection but surely it does an very adequate job on pumping out the pool water. This may be a benefit because it gave me time to clean the sides of the pool as the water level went down. I will try the greater diameter connection on my next job. Thank you for the reviews and the product as well.Customer Review: Be very careful.

I haven't even owned it a 13 months and already it blew the oil out of the motor. I have probably used it about 10 times to pump water out of a dry well and a low point in our sidewalk. It worked most of time, not great but not bad either. I probably let it run dry a few minutes before I came out and unplugged it and there was oil all over the place. I am very disappointed with it.Customer Review: Works well, but don't leave running unattended

I bought this because it was half the price of the pumps that I could find locally at Home Depot. This is the 2nd one that I bought because the first one broke. It seems that you cannot let it dry run for long periods of time with burning up the bearings. Now I have this on a plug in timer so that it will not run dry. Buying 2 of these was still cheaper than buying 1 Home Depot pump.Customer Review: Not up to the task

When I bought the VIP Wayne 1/2 HP submersible pump it was to be a backup source of water, from my swimming pool, to control a possible house fire. In fact, the stream it produces won't even reach the the roof of the house. So much for Wayne pumps for fire protection.

This pump worked great for draining my pondless waterfall the only problem was that the discharge is 1 1/4 and the hose I purchased was 1 1/"2 so off to the plumbing store for a jerry rigged adapter. I would have like the pump to come with 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" after all the discharge hose that they recommend is 1 1/2".
