Wayne Water Systems · CDU980E
Ready to buy
The retained reference is $211.78 current U.S. retail reference. Confirm current exact model and performance sheet because retailer tables can contain inconsistent head-flow fields, then size from Wayne's curve. Commission every pump, float, check valve, alarm and notification path before relying on the installation.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Confirm current exact model and performance sheet because retailer tables can contain inconsistent head-flow fields, then size from Wayne's curve. Confirm exact current stock, seller authorization, tax, delivery, battery, valves, pipe, alarm, labor, permits and return terms before paying.
CDU980E fits a high-inflow or higher-head installation only after the real discharge, basin cycle volume and electrical start load justify its curve.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
CDU980E was checked against exact manufacturer identity and manual, current U.S. price, hydraulic curve, basin and switch fit, discharge and check-valve path, power or battery system, alarm and connectivity, service, independent evidence and bounded owner or installer reports.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner and installer discussion returns to switch faults, high-flow cycling, sound, circuit load, pit fit and discharge restriction rather than a universal reliability or flood result.
These are self-reported experiences across different basins, inflows, heads, pipe and check-valve layouts, circuits, batteries, chargers, alarms, networks, maintenance, installation quality, weather and service ages. They identify commissioning and service checks and do not establish standardized flow, runtime, notification delivery, reliability, failure rate, flood prevention, mold prevention, safety, code approval, insurability or claim outcomes.Hundreds of exact-model owners discuss switch faults, high-flow storm duty, sound, pit fit and professional installation. Different heads and histories prevent a reliability conclusion.
Resolve the current curve from Wayne, measure head and inflow and verify stable cycling and valve closure during a controlled high-water test.

Wayne Water Systems identifies exact model CDU980E as a compact top-suction high-flow primary with stainless motor housing, cast-iron base and integral vertical switch.
$211.78 current U.S. retail reference was retained for exact model CDU980E. Confirm current exact model and performance sheet because retailer tables can contain inconsistent head-flow fields, then size from Wayne's curve
Wayne's current headline is up to 5,490 GPH at zero head and the manufacturer curve governs 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-foot selection; retailer-generated tables have shown conflicting values, so retain the exact performance sheet and total-dynamic-head calculation The compact vertical-switch form is sold for roughly 11-inch-and-larger basins and top suction reduces direct bottom debris intake; no sewage, wipes, mud or grinder duty applies The integrated vertical switch and float guard require clear travel; connect the 1-1/2-inch NPT outlet through a removable union and separate full-flow check valve without reducing the line below the manual boundary
The 120 V motor is listed around 10 A and needs a grounded GFCI-protected direct circuit with start margin; it includes no battery or charger There is no outage runtime, alarm or cloud monitoring; line power and a spinning motor do not prove the exterior discharge is open Commission against the exterior outlet, listen for water hammer, inspect float, inlet, check valve and freeze exposure and keep safe lift access; isolate the circuit before service The model carries five-year limited coverage; switch failure, high starting load, rapid cycling, air lock, check-valve leak, obstruction, freeze, outage and inflow beyond delivered curve remain
EPA guidance centers moisture-source correction, prompt drying and appropriate remediation. A sump pump does not by itself stop leaks, dry materials or remediate mold.
Flood cleanup can involve electrical shock, sewage and chemical contamination, mold, unstable materials and injury hazards that require appropriate utilities, protective equipment and trained help.
Pits and restricted spaces can contain hazardous atmospheres, engulfment or difficult rescue conditions. Entry requires an applicable assessment and controls rather than an assumption that a residential space is safe.
Flood insurance coverage, exclusions, documentation and claim outcomes are policy- and event-specific. Equipment ownership or an alarm does not guarantee coverage, insurability or payment.
Independent exact-model coverage discusses high flow, automatic switch, installation testing and maintenance while retaining the need for the current manufacturer curve.
Hundreds of exact-model owners discuss switch faults, high-flow storm duty, sound, pit fit and professional installation. Different heads and histories prevent a reliability conclusion.
M98 Flow-Mate is the higher-flow primary for greater head or inflow alternative at $349.50 current U.S. street reference.
CDU800 is the value high-flow primary alternative at $158.78 current U.S. retail reference.
Manufacturer identity, exact current U.S. price, current manual or support path, independent editorial, laboratory or professional-market evidence and bounded exact-model owner or installer evidence were checked on August 18, 2026. This desk covers complete current or actively supported residential basement and crawlspace primary sump pumps, battery-backup sump systems and integrated primary-plus-backup packages. It excludes sewage, effluent-tank, grinder and utility pumps; standalone batteries, chargers, alarms and power converters; water-powered backups; commercial lift stations; unsupported or obsolete models; marketplace-only products; and cosmetic bundles or package padding. Pump flow must be read on the exact curve at total dynamic head, including vertical rise and pipe, fitting and check-valve loss. Zero-head flow and horsepower do not size a system. Basin diameter, depth, inlet elevation, usable cycle volume, switch travel, solids boundary, discharge diameter, check valve, union, air-lock relief, exterior termination and freeze or backflow exposure are installation facts. Primary, backup and high-water switches must move freely and be tested independently. Battery chemistry, group size, amp-hours, age, temperature, charger, cable, voltage sag, duty cycle and head control useful backup time; no runtime claim is a site promise. Audible, dry-contact, Wi-Fi, app and cloud alerts have different hardware, power, account, network, service, privacy and delivery boundaries. Keep receptacles, controllers, chargers and batteries dry and above possible water, use direct grounded connections and required GFCI and branch protection, isolate power before contact and use qualified electrical and plumbing work plus required permits and inspections. Never enter a sump, basin, crawlspace or other possible confined space without the applicable competent-person assessment and controls. Floodwater may contain sewage, chemicals, sharp objects and energized equipment. Do not touch water or pumps where electrical or contamination hazards may exist; use emergency, utility, remediation and public-health guidance. A sump system does not stop groundwater, sewer backup, plumbing failure, mold, backflow or contaminated flooding and does not replace drainage, grading, waterproofing, sewer protection, mold remediation, flood cleanup or a site-specific professional design. No product, curve, test, review, alarm, battery, warranty or installation guarantees flood prevention, runtime, notification, reliability, service life, mold prevention, property protection, code approval, permit acceptance, insurability, coverage or an insurance claim outcome.
