Wayne PC4 Review by Larry R. Vanwagoner "lvan" (National City, MI USA)
Very well made. Very powerful. Two garden hose connectors in box. Used pump to purge air from hot water heat zone. It easily forced water through and eliminated air from a 100' long zone that supplied a home's second storey. I used rigid 3/4" PVC for intake as pump's suction caused intake garden hose to collapse restricting pump's water flow. No state tax, Free shipping, and $30 less expensive than local rural stores. Arrived in four days.
Wayne PC4 Review by EAMMONE "THREE BABIES" (THROOP, PA USA)
I purchased this pump to assist me in emptying my very large fish tank. It worked just perfectly. It also helped in emptying our 12' pool while allowing me to use the water to irrigate my schrubs. My son uses it to pump water from his rain barrel, up a hill and into his garden. We just attach a good garden hose to one end and turn it on. This pump has a very powerful suction and can empty a body of water in no time. It doesn't have an ON/OFF switch which is a minor inconvenience. Also, being cast iron it's very heavy. The bottom line here for me is that it works, it's small and it does what I want it to do, sometimes too well. On one occasion during a partial water change in the fish tank I dropped the tubing into the tank and turned it on. It promptly sucked two goldfish against it's protective grid and held them there until I shut the machine off. One thing this machine will not do is to suction up larger items such as stones or bigger pieces of gravel. There is a protective attachment on the end that won't allow larger items to pass. This is the second pump of this kind to enter our home. My son loaned me the first one and I liked it so much that I refused to give it back, so I had to purchase a new one for him. Oh, did I mention that it's very loud? I would definitely buy this pump again and, in fact, I did.
Wayne PC4 Review by fact hound
Once up and running, this unit will easily pump water at a rate equal to, or exceeding, typical faucet pressure. I have pumped water up hill 25 feet to power a lawn sprinkler for hours on end with no problems. While self-priming (once you've added water to the pump itself), I've found it can be slow to self prime with long intake hose or pumping up hill. I have also found that typical garden hoses cannot cope with the suction of the intake and tend to pucker and constrict --you'll need a truly ridged and heavy duty hose on this end. This is not a problem on the outflow hose where any normal hose will likely work just fine. Be aware that his model requires some regular maintenance every 100 hours to maintain warranty. The heavy-duty metal construction of the unit itself has proven solid and durable. I was disappointed that the supplied intake strainer attachment used a male connector but the female connector is needed to connect the hose to the pump. Supplying an adapter or strainer with a female connector seems called for.
