The Holidays Are Over!

By deb.dils  |  2012/01/11 15:26 Posted in Prevent Water Damage, WAYNE Pumps  |  Comments (0)

The holidays are over and if you are like me, the clean up is the worst part.  Packing up the decorations, tearing down the tree, and lugging the boxes to the basement rank as one of the “humbug” chores associated with this holiday.  While you are putting the boxes away in the basement, take a few minutes to check your sump pump to make sure that it is clean and working properly.

Here are a few guidelines to follow:

1. Fill sump pit with water to make sure the pump is operating.

2. Check to insure pump is discharging water.

3. Make sure the intake of the pump is not clogged with any debris.

Do you read Handyman Magazine? Today’s online newsletter called HANDY TOOL BOX featured our WAYNE Auto On/Off Utility Pump. And, we are proud to have recieved a 100% approval rating from the 39 product testers who tried it out.

Tom Gerstenecker, Collinsville, IL: “A great pump that’s lightweight, has no
float to get in the way and pumps water down to about 1/2 in. deep.”

Matthew Paul, Des Moines, IA:
“It automatically shuts off, which eliminates the possibility that it will
burn up. I don’t have to constantly check on it; I know it will do the
job.”

WAYNE Pumps Green Pump Gets High Ratings in HANDY Magazine

Look for the WAYNE Pumps  new energy-saving sump pump in the August/September 2010 issue of HANDY Magazine, where it received a 95% approval rating after a product test. HANDY is the official magazine of The Handyman Club of America (HCOA), which selected 20 of its members to test the revolutionary new pump. Members rated the WAYNE ¾ HP Submersible Stainless Steel/Cast Iron Sump Pump for durability, ease of installation, performance and convenience. Members were pleased with the quick set-up and flawless performance after heavy rains. They also gave high marks to the iSwitch technology, finding that the lack of moving parts that can get hung up was a huge plus.  “I would recommend this sump pump for it’s ease of setup, efficiency and quiet operation,” said HCOA member Terence King of Cresskill, NJ.   “One of the best features is the new water level sensor.  No moving parts!”

Expected in hardware stores by late August, the WAYNE ¾ HP Submersible Stainless Steel/Cast Iron Sump Pump can save up to 50% on energy bills as well as serve as the first line of defense for basement protection.  The HANDY Magazine August/September issue with the WAYNE Pumps test results is on newsstands now and appears on their Web site at http://www.handymanclub.com.

Prevent Winter Water Damage

By admin  |  2010/01/13 13:40 Posted in WAYNE Pumps, WAYNE Water Systems  |  Comments (0)

The experts at Wayne Pumps can help protect your home and valuables from water damage during winter’s cold months. Start with a quality sump pump and reliable battery backup pump in case you lose power. WAYNE Pumps recommends its new iSwitch Technology which has no mechanical parts and lasts five times longer than other pumps on the market. Other simple measures can save thousands of dollars in damage. For example, disconnect garden hoses during freezing temperatures to prevent pipes from bursting. Test your sump pump and battery back-up system periodically by pouring water into it. Do the same with your HVAC condensation pumps. Remove drain plugs and insulate the pipes on your well pumps during the coldest months. And, make sure your sump and utility pump’s discharges extend away from the home to prevent freezing water from damaging your home’s foundation. These simple steps can keep your home safe and dry, even during the ravages of winter’s cold.
