About Product Overview

The WAYNE WWB Auto is a 1/4 HP submersible utility pump built for water removal jobs where you want it to just handle things on its own. With an electronic automatic switch, it turns on when water shows up and shuts off when the job's done - no float arm to fuss with, no manual monitoring required. It's self-priming, so it gets to work fast on standing water in flooded basements, window wells, stock tanks, or after heavy rain.

Rated for up to 1900 GPH at zero head, output drops to 1250 GPH at 10 feet and 350 GPH at 20 feet, which is worth knowing if you're pumping any real distance or elevation. The thermoplastic housing keeps it lightweight at 8.1 lbs, and it draws off a standard 120V outlet at 2.4 amps. Bottom intake pulls water down to a lower level than top-intake designs, and the 3/4 inch discharge fits standard garden hose. UL listed and made in the USA.

  • 1/4 HP motor, 1900 GPH max discharge flow
  • Automatic on/off via electronic switch - no float needed
  • Self-priming for quick startup on standing water
  • Bottom intake, 3/4 inch discharge pipe size
  • Operating range: 35°F to 77°F, max 20 ft. head
  • UL listed, thermoplastic housing, 120V/2.4A

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

Ask our counter. Or theirs.

Most hardware stores can do more than you think. If we can't help you, the folks down the street probably can — just ask at the counter.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a familiar banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
