About Product Overview

Wayne's EEAUP250 is built for the jobs where water shows up uninvited - flooded basements, window wells, stock tanks, or any spot that needs draining fast and without babysitting. At 1/4 HP, it moves up to 3000 gallons per hour, and even against 10 feet of lift it's still pushing 1600 GPH, so it doesn't fall off a cliff once there's real head pressure to fight.

The automatic electronic switch turns the pump on when water shows up and off when it's gone, which matters most in the situations you can't watch constantly. A thermoplastic housing keeps it corrosion resistant for repeated use in wet, dirty conditions, and the bottom intake with 3/4-inch discharge works with standard garden hose or pipe setups. It's rated for water between 40 and 110 degrees, UL listed, and backed by a 1 year limited parts and labor warranty. Keep in mind this is a non-self-priming pump, so it needs to start submerged or with water already in the housing.

  • 1/4 HP motor, up to 3000 GPH maximum discharge flow
  • 1600 GPH discharge flow at 10 feet of head; 20 ft. maximum head
  • Automatic on/off via electronic switch - no manual monitoring needed
  • Corrosion-resistant thermoplastic housing, bottom intake, 3/4" discharge
  • Operating range 40°F to 110°F; runs on 120V AC
  • UL compliant; 1 year limited parts and labor warranty; made in USA

Price check

Go ahead. Check.

You're going to price-check us against Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Everybody does. Good — open all three tabs. We'll wait. Then look hard at what you're actually being handed over there.

On Amazon, start with these four questions before you click buy.

01

Who's actually selling it

The brand name is on the listing. A different company is in the seller field. Those aren't the same thing, and the second one is who you're buying from.

02

Whether the warranty survives

Most manufacturers only honor a warranty when the unit came through an authorized dealer. We're authorized for Wayne. A third-party marketplace seller usually isn't.

03

Where the box came from

Gray-market stock, returns repackaged as new, and outright fakes move through marketplaces constantly. It all looks identical in the photo. It stops looking identical when it fails.

04

Who you call when it breaks

Ours is a phone number with a person behind it who has held this product. M–F, 6 AM – 5 PM Pacific. (866) 469-8556

The big boxes don't care if your hardware store survives.

Amazon, Home Depot, and Lowe's are built to pull every hardware dollar out of your town. When the local shop can't keep the lights on, the counter where somebody actually knew which part you needed goes with it. We're built the other way: real brands so you're never stuck on a marketplace, and a straight answer to buy it down the street when that's the better call. Support independent hardware — it doesn't restock itself.

Why we tell you to shop local

Shop Local · Support Independent

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

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.
