![]() ![]() The manual that comes with the unit isn’t actually written for the WSS30V, which means that a lot of what you read in it won’t apply to the WSS30V (for example, the fact that you won’t need to install the check valves and that you can simply plug and play the unit). Check valves are included in the base of both pumps (the main AC and the backup DC unit), which means all you need to do is attach a battery, plug in the AC unit, and attach a main discharge pipe. Unlike Wayne’s typical AC pumps, the WSS30V is pre-assembled and preset to speed up the installation process they describe it as drop-in, which is rather close to the truth. Overall, we had a seamless experience installing the WSS30V (keeping in mind, of course, that we do this for a living). Our Short and Long Term Experiences Installing and Using the Wayne WSS30V Sump Pump The warranty is increased from 3 years to 5 years, the power cord is lengthened from 8 feet to 9 feet, and the weight and dimensions of the combination sump pump also increase. You need a significantly larger sump pit diameter (15 inches vs 11 inches) to fit the sump pump. How Does the Wayne WSS30V Compare to the CDU800 Sump Pump?Īs noted above, we reviewed the CDU800 recently, and the main difference between the WSS30V and the CDU800 is the fact that an additional 12 volt back-up pump (the ESP25) is attached to the CDU800 ( with a battery you need to supply) that allows the combination sump pump system to run even if AC power is cut. It’s designed to be used with sump pits (sump basins) at least 15 inches in diameter. The working temperature spans 33-120 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s self-priming and housed in cast iron and stainless steel, and the sump pump outlet diameter is 1-1/2″ FPT. The backup discharge flow is 3,300 GPH at 0 feet, 2,300 GPH at 10 feet, 1,500 GPH at 15 feet, and is inoperative at 20 feet. Although the main discharge flow can reach 4,200 gallons per hour at 0 feet, it drops to 3,150 gallons per hour at 10 feet, 2,100 gallons per hour at 15 feet, and 500 gallons per hour at 20 feet. It weighs 24 pounds, and has a 9 foot-long power cord. The WSS30V draws 10 amps and is equipped with a battery backup, although the battery isn’t included you’ll need a 12 volt deep cycle battery with either 40 amp hours or 75 amp hours. The aforementioned pump switch is vertical. ![]() It’s just under 14″ tall, 14.4″ wide, and just under 14″ deep with a maximum pumping height of 22 feet and a switch-on/switch-off height of 4″ and 9″ respectively. The primary pump features a 4,200 gallon per hour maximum water flow rate (3,300 GPH in the backup), and a 5 year limited warranty. The main pump features a 1/2 horsepower motor while the backup features a 12 volt motor. The main sump pump is AC-powered and is the CDU800 the backup is DC-powered and is the ESP25. The Wayne WSS30Vis a pre-assembled primary and battery backup combination submersible sump pump system. ![]() Key Features of the Wayne WSS30V Sump Pump (60 Second Summary) Our full review is below, but if you’re wondering whether it’s worth it, yes it is, we recommend it, and you can buy it here. It’s essentially the pump and battery backup version of the Wayne CDU800, and at under $400, it’s the single best sump pump system on the market at that price. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that when clients ask us whether or not we think the extra $200-odd dollars for a backup system is worth it, our answer is unequivocally yes. As a result, today we’re going to take a look at one of our favorite combination sump pump systems, the Wayne WSS30V Pre-Assembled Combination Sump Pump System. A combination sump pump (a primary AC-powered unit a DC-powered backup unit) can save you tens of thousands of dollars in basement flood repair costs, particularly if you have a finished basement or valuables stored in an area dependent on your sump pump. It’s not strictly necessary for a home, but we’ve seen enough flooded basements with working sump pumps that stopped working during power outages to know what a difference it can make. When we make house calls to replace sump pumps, one of the options we always recommend is that of a replacement sump pump with a battery backup system. ![]()
