If Running off a water tank, put a check valve inline
I have gone through two cheap pumps from Harbor Freight so I didn't want to go that route again. I looked up "Reviews 1/2 HP water transfer pump" and I kept consistently seeing Wayne pumps as a good products and the reviews here at Amazon looked good. I didn't need a big pump, I mainly use it to transfer water between my rain harvesting tanks around the house down to my big tank by the garden, since that is where most of my irrigation needs are, and then to run the oscillating sprinkler occasionally and the drip irrigation systems. The only problem I had was when I first hooked it up it didn't make a smooth sound, sort of whirled. I checked back at the tank faucet and I could hear a gurgling sound so I thought, maybe I should get a check valve to put between the tank and the pump. My tank was almost full at the time and you would think 1320 gallons of water would exert enough pressure that you wouldn't get backflow. I went to a local hardware store, found a check valve and put it on the intake side of the pump. Problem solved. Now it ran with a smooth sound and was running the oscillating sprinkler just fine. It also works fine on the drip lines even though they have a 25 psi regulator on them. I do run it with a really long hose to the drip lines so hopefully the pressure is falling off a bit. So far so good. Seems sturdily built. You would be surprised at how heavy it is. I will be transferring water from another tank to the garden tank soon, so we will see how fast it pumps. ... show more

Simple, great water pressure, and much better than the cheap "made in China" pump I bought first
We need a water pump to pull water from our lake for the lawn. First, I allowed myself to be tempted by one of the cheaper "made in China" pumps on Amazon. It looked great, but came with like 15 plastic fittings that had no diagram and I'm clearly not smart enough to figure out how to configure all of the plastic parts on the intake and outlet ports of that pump. We wasted 3-4 hours of frustration, couldn't get it to work, then sent it back to Amazon. As a replacement I bought this Wayne PC4 - this is a WONDERFUL, POWERFUL LITTLE PUMP. It's idiot proof - hook a short hose (I bought a 5' garden hose) to the intake, attach the (included) strainer on the end and stick it in the lake. Hook a longer (I used 50', but it a 100' would have been fine) garden hose to the outlet, prime the pump, plug it in, and wait 15 seconds for it to begin pulling water. The water pressure was awesome - comparable to what I get from city water - which is 60 PSI. Downsides: * it's cast iron, so it's heavy. * removing the cap from the priming hole requires a crescent wrench - not a big deal, but they could have made this a twist-off cap or something. * there's no on/off switch. Plug it in to start, unplug to stop. Slightly annoying, but not a big deal. All in all, I LOVE THIS PUMP, and would buy it again 100 times - it's simple to set up, simple to use, and puts out great water pressure. Exactly what I wanted... ... show more

unit is great... but this is not the last thing you need to make this work
this unit is strong enough to move water through a 10foot input hose (NOT included), through the unit, and then over 100' of hose to a receiving tank that is about 1 foot higher in elevation than the input tank. i guestimate that the time to move 50 gallons is about 5 minutes or so and more than enough pressure to run through an attachment nozzle. But, there are three issues buyers need to consider: a). there is no on/off... this unit must be unplugged to stop. Given that it CANNOT run for more than a few minutes dry without breaking, this means you must monitor it should you think it might run dry somepoint soon. If you really want to not run it dry, depending on your application, you might need a second person to pull the plug while you monitor the water levels. b). the unit does NOT come with an input hose... yet it tells you that a hose with a specifically strong inlet hose (galvanized pipe, plastic pipe or reinforced hose) is rquired and it is. I went with 10 feet of reinforced hose and between the hose itself and the couplings to connect it, that was an additional 25$ i spent to get this machine useable. c). this unit requires brush replacements after about 100 hours which others have addressed. And, a fourth small point, the manual is poorly written (mixing the order of things) and really sparse in its descriptions... so if you are NOT the sort to be comfortable with improvising, you'll likely need to call their customer service tech folks. That said, they answer and help... but it something they could work on. All this said, it works, it does the job... i am content and can recommend it for similar applications and needs. ... show more

Great little pump
Could not find anyone in my local area to fill my hydroponic (hot water) domestic heating system with some glycol water mix. I had a previous freezing problem (Michigan resident) so I was motivated to get it done. I drained the old water out and measured it. I bought 5 gal of Dow food grade polypropylene glycol and 15 gal of distilled water but could not figure out how to get it into the system. Gravity did not seem to work. A small submersible pump was pathetic. I bought this 1/2 HP pump and it worked extremely well. I purged the system first with tap water, using the pump. The pipes and boiler were very dirty since they are 32 years old and my make-up water is from a well. I filled the boiler first, with the glycol, and then each zone with distilled water. The pump made the filling and bubble purging go very fast. I used a piece of iron pipe as an inlet and a garden hose as an outlet. The pump is heavy and cast iron so you need to be careful about it rusting. I added some vegetable oil to help keep it from rusting. I would recommend this pump, great value for what it does. It would be even better if it had an on/off switch on it. ... show more

FANTASTIC product!!
This pump has EXCEEDED my expectations!! I was ISO a lightweight, portable, affordable, weather resistant water pump; to assist in distributing water to a gravity fed irrigation system, in a residential application. . This product went above & beyond those requirements! It's sturdy, it's not too noisy, it's extremely efficient & has got a lot of power for its size & weight. I would 100% recommend this product & am BEYOND SATISFIED with its performance. Also, it was delivered sooner than originally expected. WIN! WIN!! ... show more

Unreliable and Frustrating.
Bought the pump July 2015 and it worked as described until Nov 2015. It just quit. I waited a week and attempted to use it again and to my surprise it worked. Well here I am in March getting ready to start my spring vegetable garden and the pump wouldn't start. I called Wayne Water systems and the customer service representative was very helpful. While on the phone he instructed me to remove the brushes, which I did. I described the condition of the brushes to him and he concluded that they were worn and had to be replaced. A week later new brushes arrived from Wayne. I called the same rep (he gave me his name and extension) for instructions to replace the brushes. We were on the phone perhaps for 45 mins following his instructions on replacing the brushes. Finally, after replacing brushes, plug in pump: nothing. Pump does not start. He (CSR) said ' a wire may have come loose inside"; so pump has to be returned (at my expense) to Wayne, for a possible repair or replacement.Just frustrating having to deal with an unreliable pump. Update: I returned the pump to Wayne Pumps on March 17th. The UPS tracking showed it was delivered and signed for on March 22nd. After waiting for 2 weeks I called the customer service on April 5th at 2;09 pm. To my astonishment the CSR could not find any record of its delivery. He asked for the return authorization number, which I gave to him. Next he asked for the UPS tracking number which I gladly provided. He then replied that ; yes we have received it and offer no explanation for the hold up. To my surprise I received a replacement pump by Fed Ex on April 9th.It appears new. Today, April 20th I tried using the "new" "replacement" pump. Hooked up water lines, primed the pump as instructed; plug in electricity and the only thing this NEW, REPLACEMENT did was make noise.JUST A NOISY MOTOR RUNNING, NO SUCTION OR WATER COMING OUT THE DISCHARGE END.I'M ON THE PHONE AGAIN. THIS PUMP IS TOTALLY CRAP. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. ... show more

Great Lil pump
* update * The pump corroded and stop working just a little past three months, right after the return window. Really sad because it was a great pump but too expensive to re-order. I bought this pump to make a solar heater for my inground pool, it has been fabulous and works great on a timer, only had to prime pump the first time. The pump was so strong I had to buy a reinforced intake hose, after that my pool temperature gets raised about 2° a day on 300 feet of black hose that is coiled ... show more

Great pumping for rain barrel
Got this pump to distribute water saved in 55 gallon rain barrel. It works great! With water can it took me 1 1/2 hours of filling and emptying rain barrel on plants, but with this little gem it took me 10 minutes. The water flow was just right even at the top of a 20 foot hill. The directions are pretty much nonexistent, but all that's required is screwing in the two brass fittings for adding intake and outflow hoses and adding on the 2 rubber feet to the bottom of the motor. Add water and then screw in the cap to the prime fitting, attach hoses, open spigot on rainbarrel and end of hose, plug it in and it works. This will be a great time saver and also much easier since I don't have to carry all those watering cans! Hope it lasts for years. ... show more
