Last refreshed Sep 8, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
An automatic utility pump that starts and stops itself and clears water down to a thin film. Water must reach the start level before it kicks on, so shallow puddles need manual help.

Overview
Not a basic manual utility pump, the WAYNE unit uses an iSwitch sensor to start when water rises and shut off when it is nearly gone. You plug it in and leave it in a window well, crawl space or on a flat roof.
Unattended removal down to a thin layer suits recurring trouble spots. The iSwitch stops it running dry. It needs water above the start depth before it will prime.
Who it's for
Problem areas that collect rain or snowmelt and need hands-off removal suit it well. Primary sump duty calls for a dedicated sump pump.
Pros and cons
- Starts and stops by itself
- Will not run dry
- Removes water to a thin film
- Compact for tight spaces
- Needs starting depth to activate
- Hose not listed as included
- Voltage figure on listing looks off
Performance notes
The iSwitch senses water depth, so the pump only primes once the level reaches the start point. Flow drops as the discharge hose rises higher. A level surface lets it pull down to the shutoff depth.

Frequently asked questions
When does the WAYNE pump turn on?
The iSwitch starts it once water is above 1-3/4 inch and stops it below 1/2 inch.
Do I need to unplug it after use?
No. The iSwitch turns it off when water drops below 1/2 inch, so it will not run dry.
Can it work in a window well?
Yes. It is listed for tight spaces such as window wells, plus basements, driveways and flat roofs.
