Customer Evaluations
-----Update 7/22/10--------
Well immediately after a little additional than a year the Switch Genius has failed. The pump no longer shuts off, it just keeps operating with a brief break right after about 20 seconds then resumes.
Clearly, I can't advise a sump pump that fails so easily. After digging out the instructions, they do state that you have to have to preserve the surface of the Switch Genius water sensor clean and that a dirty sensor could result in what happened to mine. Mine is fairly scaled at this point and I cannot clean it fully without having damaging the surface. The directions do not indicate how frequently it really should be cleaned.
So had I cleaned the sensor surface every single couple months I suppose it may nonetheless operate fine. But you should not have to do that on a sump pump.
And it has also gotten a lot louder over time, and I don't know why that would be unless some thing else is failing or worn. My old Zoeller which I kept as a backup is much quieter than the Wayne now.
----original review-----
It really is hard to do a evaluation on this mainly because as we all know, a single of the most necessary characteristics of a sump pump is its reliability, and I basically haven't had it lengthy sufficient to know that. So preserve that in mind as you read this.
This pump is fairly quiet and effective. I can just barely hear it run when standing right over the sump pit. My old Zoeller pump could be heard all through the residence. The Switch Genius works fine, and hopefully will eradicate the trouble I had with my old pump of the float acquiring stuck.
The Switch Genius has its personal power cord with a receptacle on the back of the plug, and the sump power then plugs into that. The switch receptacle is then what controls power to the sump. For continuous pumping, you just plug the sump power straight into an outlet. Kind of an odd setup but it functions. The cords were a bit brief for my setup and I had to use an extension cord. I don't know how the Switch Genius functions but I like the fact that there is nothing mechanical to fail.
This does not appear to be built as solid as my old cast iron Zoeller pump, but it is a lot quieter. The Wayne is described as cast iron but the only cast iron appears to be the intake/outlet housing. The impeller and leading are thermoplastic. Only time will tell if it is as trustworthy or not, but with a five year warranty I would expect it to be. My largest concern is that if it does get stuck on I would in no way know it till it burns out given that it is so quiet. But I do have a backup program in spot.
Just FYI, this pump can not be employed if your water softener brine drains into the sump pit. The salty brine water "fools" the "Switch Genius" and the pump runs consistently. I have confirmed this with Wayne Pumps. Other than that, the pump works terrific and is particularly quiet. I am going to have to decide to buy an additional pump without the "Switch Genius" technolgy.
