How we checked
The WAYNE manufacturer page (waynepumps.com/product/cdu980e) confirms this exact model CDU980E: a 3/4 HP cast iron and stainless steel submersible sump pump with max flow rate 5490 GPH, an integrated vertical float switch, 1-1/2 In. NPT discharge, 120 V motor, 8 ft power cord and a 5 Year Limited Warranty; its performance table lists flow down to 20 ft of discharge head. Farm & Home Supply (US retailer) corroborates the identical model (Manufacturer Number CDU980E), the 5490 GPH rating and 1-1/2 in NPT discharge, and supplies the sourced US street price of $229.99. Shell Lumber's spec table additionally labels Maximum Lift Head 20 ft, HP Rating 0.75 hp and Cord Length 8 ft, but its price field was self-contradictory ($231.52 regular / $266.35 sale) so it was not used for pricing.
